Closing books and running payroll feel like solved problems with today’s saas and high stakes if you mess up.

This is one of those areas I would spend more time checking the outputs than it would take me to click the button myself.

What are some of the alternatives that are worthwhile for this?

Gusto makes payroll zero clicks.

I’ve used xero and quickbooks and they integrate with many banks and expense management platforms to automate closing.

Also, unless something changed, unlike other providers, they don't just sell your payroll data to data brokers.
