Early Access: Payroll in Hisabi — Approval-first, accountant-grade

Payroll and invoicing are the same money, and in most small businesses they live in separate tools — usually a spreadsheet next to the banking app. We've been building payroll into Hisabi so the money you pay out sits next to the money you bill, with the same level of care and one less app.

Built Around One Idea: Approve Before Anything Posts

Every payroll run in Hisabi is approval-first. You prepare the run, review a pre-flight summary of exactly who gets paid what — salaries, adjustments, totals — and nothing touches your books until you explicitly approve it. No silent postings, no surprises in the journal.

  • Full employee records — a proper page per employee, not a cramped modal: salary, joining date, status, and history in one place.
  • Pre-flight approval — review the complete run before it posts; reject it and nothing happens.
  • Clean bookkeeping — approved runs produce structured journal entries, so payroll reconciles like everything else in your books.

How to Get Access

Payroll is running with a small group of early-access workspaces while we harden it under real monthly runs. Paid plans include payroll seats sized to the tier — one employee on Starter (pay yourself), up to 25 on Professional, unlimited on Firm. If you'd like to run your payroll on Hisabi, write to us and we'll set your workspace up as the rollout expands.
