Payroll & finance

Payroll variance report before you send it

Ask Claude to assemble the pre-payroll ledger for the month from Taito.ai, diff it against last month, flag anomalies, and hand you a clean CSV to send your accounting firm.

A May payroll pre-check for 42 employees, diffed against April: 2 new hires, 1 leaver, 3 salary bumps, and 1 outlier flagged for review. The export, payroll-may.csv, is ready to send.

How it works

Perfect payroll, every time

One prompt on payroll day. Claude pulls the month’s inputs live, diffs them against last month, and hands you a CSV with the outliers flagged — the agent stops at review.

Fewer payroll surprises

Anomalies caught before the run, not after the complaint.

A clean handoff to your accountant

A formatted CSV with the variances already explained, ready to email.

You review the ledger instead of building it

The variance check is already done. Your job is the second look.

Prompt

Prepare the May payroll ledger. Use Taito.ai MCP to pull:

  – All active employees with their May employment state
  – Approved time off and unpaid leave for the period
  – Any salary changes effective in May
  – One-off payments and reimbursements logged this month

Then:
  1. Build the pre-payroll ledger, per employee, per line item
  2. Diff against April's payroll — call out any variance > 10%
  3. Flag anything unusual: missing approvals, unbanked accounts, expired contracts
  4. Export it as a clean CSV I can email to our accounting firm

Do NOT run payroll. This is a pre-check for me to review before it goes out.

Frequently asked questions

Does this run payroll?
No. It assembles the ledger, checks it, and stops. Submitting to your provider stays a human action — the prompt says so explicitly, and the agent respects it.
What counts as a variance?
You set the threshold. The example flags anything more than 10% off last month, plus missing approvals, unbanked accounts, and expired contracts.
Will my accountant be able to use the export?
It is a plain per-employee, per-line-item CSV with the flagged rows called out, so it can go to your accounting firm as-is or be mapped into their template.
