The Problem

For AP Operations teams, payroll runs through Bill.com include silent errors — wrong pay rates, missing PTO deductions, duplicate bonuses — that only surface when an employee complains.

What We Build in Tipalti

AI diffs each payroll run against the prior period, flags any variance over 5% or unusual one-time items, and holds them for approval — payroll errors caught pre-run, not post-deposit. Purpose-built for teams running Tipalti — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
