Payroll Manager

The Payroll Manager integrates with Gusto to bring your payroll data into Alignmint's accounting system. Import payroll runs, allocate costs across funds, and generate proper journal entries automatically.

Fund Allocation

Allocate employee costs across multiple funds based on how they spend their time. For example, if a staff member splits time between two programs, their salary can be allocated proportionally.

Functional Categories

Payroll expenses are automatically categorized into the three required functional categories for Form 990 reporting:

Program: Direct mission-related work
Management & General: Administrative and overhead
Fundraising: Donor cultivation and campaign work

Journal Entries

Each payroll import creates detailed journal entries including salary expense, payroll taxes, benefits, and the corresponding liability and cash accounts.
