Remote + Ledge Integration
By integrating Rippling and Ledge, HR and payroll data is automatically pulled and prepared for the month-end close, so payroll accruals, headcount-driven expenses, and reconciliations are ready for review, not rebuilt manually.
Eliminate manual payroll and headcount rebuilds during close
For most accounting teams, this work is manual, time consuming, and error prone. Data is exported from Rippling, copied into spreadsheets, mapped to GL accounts, and rolled forward each close. The same schedules are rebuilt every period, even though the underlying logic rarely changes.
Ledge transforms that manual rebuild into a manual automated process. With Ledge, Rippling becomes an input to the close, with agents preparing payroll-related work consistently every period.
What makes Rippling + Ledge different
Rippling contains the source data accountants rely on—employee attributes, payroll runs, benefits, and organizational structure. With Rippling connected to Ledge, agents pull exactly the data required for each close task and prepare it directly into your existing Excel workpapers, already structured for accruals and reconciliations.
New hires, terminations, pay changes, and benefit updates create month-over-month movement that must be reconciled and explained. Ledge agents rebuild payroll schedules and rollforwards every close using fresh Rippling data, so accruals and balances reflect what actually changed during the period.
How the Rippling + Ledge integration works
Securely connect Rippling to Ledge in minutes using a native, lightweight integration with API-based authentication. Setup is fast and flexible enough to support multiple entities and payroll groups.
Use Ledge’s Agent Studio to configure how Rippling data supports your close. Describe payroll workflows in plain language—such as accrual logic, benefit treatment, or department-based allocations—and create a custom agent in minutes.
Each period, agents automatically pull fresh Rippling data, rebuild Excel workpapers with live formulas, and prepare payroll accruals and supporting schedules. Your team reviews and approves instead of rebuilding.
Payroll and HR-driven close work, prepared automatically
Agent-prepared payroll work
Payroll accruals, benefit schedules, headcount analyses, and reconciliations are prepared before review begins.
Excel-native outputs
Agents generate fully editable Excel workpapers with live formulas, rollforwards, and direct traceability to Rippling source data.
Review instead of preparation
Accountants focus on judgment, exceptions, and approvals rather than exporting reports and fixing spreadsheets.
Audit-ready by default
Source data, calculations, assumptions, approvals, and changes are captured as part of the close, not reconstructed later.
Full close visibility
Rippling-driven tasks are tracked alongside the rest of the close with clear ownership, dependencies, and status.
FAQ
Rippling is treated as an HR and payroll data source that feeds agent-driven close workflows. It is not a standalone payroll or reconciliation tool.
No. Ledge works alongside your ERP and payroll systems. Rippling data is used to prepare close work, while posting follows your existing ERP approval process.
Yes. Ledge is Excel-native. Agents generate Excel workpapers your team can open, edit, and review.
No. Ledge is human-in-the-loop by default. Agents prepare the work; accountants review and approve before anything posts.
What is Ledge?
Ledge is an AI-driven close management platform where AI agents don’t just track progress—they execute close work under your team’s direction.
Each close task can have its own agent that pulls data from systems like your ERP, banks, HRIS platforms like Rippling, payroll providers, AP tools, CRMs, and billing systems. Agents prepare reconciliations, schedules, flux analysis, and draft journal entries before the task is even opened.
Ledge combines close orchestration, Excel-native workpapers, and human-in-the-loop approvals in a single platform—so the close runs on prepared work, not manual rebuilds.
