CTR Payroll | HR, a leading provider of payroll, human capital management (HCM), and HR solutions, and SoftLedger, a general ledger accounting platform built for modern finance and accounting teams, today announced a new technology integration designed to connect payroll, HR, and accounting in a single, more efficient workflow.
The new integration helps organizations eliminate duplicate data entry, reduce manual processes, improve financial accuracy, and streamline the flow of workforce and payroll data into accounting. By connecting two critical business systems, organizations can spend less time reconciling information and more time making informed business decisions.
“For decades, our clients have asked us to attempt to integrate our Payroll and HR system with the same legacy accounting platforms. The process for our team to integrate with these platforms is painful and the end result can be limited, at best. We are so excited to offer our clients a new accounting software built by an organization we trust that is located right in our backyard, Pittsburgh,” said Bridget Escobar, President of CTR Payroll | HR. “From day one it has been refreshing to work directly with the SoftLedger development and executive team to create an integration option that is mutually beneficial to our clients.”
The integration combines CTR Payroll | HR's comprehensive Human Capital Management platform - including payroll, HR, benefits administration, time and labor management, talent management, onboarding, compliance, and workforce analytics—with SoftLedger's modern cloud accounting platform.
The result is a connected solution that helps organizations:
- Eliminate duplicate payroll data entry
- Streamline payroll journal entries into the general ledger
- Improve reporting accuracy across HR, payroll, and finance
- Reduce administrative workload through automation
- Support faster month-end close processes
- Improve visibility into workforce-related financial data
- Scale confidently as the organization grows
Ben Taylor, CEO & Co-Founder at SoftLedger said, “Payroll is one of the most common requests we hear from customers. Partnering with CTR lets finance and accounting teams see labor costs in real time and skip the manual reconciliation that slows the whole process down. It was a natural step for our ecosystem and CTR’s hands-on service model fits perfectly with how we think when taking care of customers.”
The integration is especially valuable for growing organizations looking to modernize both their workforce management and financial operations without adding complexity. It also provides CPA firms and financial advisors with a more connected payroll and accounting ecosystem that helps support their clients with accurate, timely financial information.
Beyond the technology itself, both organizations are committed to educating clients on best practices for connecting payroll, HR, and accounting through joint webinars, educational resources, and strategic business guidance.
