What do you like best about Finch?

Finch’s documentation is easy to follow, allowing us to test quickly before going live into production. Integration was pretty easy and worked great. Account team is very customer centric and always there to step in and guide us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finch?

There isn't too much to call out.... I would like more proactive guidance and working sessions. Thankfully, the Finch team has carved out time to walk us through best practices and review new roadmap features with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finch can help us access critical employee and pay statement data without manually logging into multiple payroll providers. This is essential as we need year-to-date wages across different cost centers, departments, etc in a particular format. Finch makes accessing non-standard data across different payroll systems very easy, and can ultimately normalize that data for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finch Overview

What is Finch?

Finch is a unified API platform that connects HR, benefits, and financial applications to 220+ HRIS and payroll providers. By serving as an intermediary, Finch allows B2B applications to connect with employment systems of record without the need for each application to develop its own individual integrations. This streamlines the process for employers and enhances the efficiency of data sharing across different platforms. The target audience for Finch primarily includes businesses that need to integrate with HRIS and payroll systems, specifically the developers, product managers, and operations teams within those organizations. These users often face challenges in managing disparate systems and ensuring that data flows smoothly between them. Finch addresses these challenges by providing a single point of integration, which simplifies the technical complexities involved in connecting various applications to HRIS and payroll systems. This is particularly beneficial for companies looking to enhance their operational efficiency and improve the user experience for their employees. Key features of Finch include fast, secure authentication, standardization of data, and comprehensive support for a wide range of HRIS and payroll providers. The API is designed to ensure that sensitive employee data is handled with the utmost security, adhering to industry standards for data protection. By standardizing the data from each system of record, Finch removes the burden of interpreting, mapping, and maintaining the data schemas across hundreds of integrations ensuring that all parties have access to consistent and accurate information. This not only saves time but also reduces the potential for errors that can arise from manual data entry or miscommunication between systems. Finch adds significant value by simplifying the integration process for businesses, allowing them to focus on their core operations rather than getting bogged down in technical details. The ability to quickly and securely connect to multiple employment systems means that companies can implement new HR and financial tools with minimal disruption. Additionally, Finch's flexibility in accommodating various data-sharing preferences empowers employers to control what information is shared and with whom, enhancing their ability to manage compliance and privacy concerns effectively. Overall, Finch stands out in its category by providing a robust, secure, and user-friendly solution that meets the integration needs of modern businesses. Its unified approach not only streamlines operations but also fosters better collaboration between HR, benefits, and financial applications, ultimately leading to a more programmable and connected employment ecosystem for all.

What do you like best about Finch?

Finch and Thoropass have been partners since both were early stage startups years ago. That means both companies and our relationship have seen a lot of changes over the years. When Sam Gurdus came on board as the head of customer success, him and the team really did an amazing job ensuring we were supported and we had a voice at Finch who helped address any needs we had. We're able to quickly deploy new HRIS systems with ease and we're excited about the roadmap Finch has shared and grateful for including us in their roadmap and love working with their productg team. Yash has been our dev success manager this year and he's great to work with and has really gone above and beyond constantly to help us have a successful partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finch?

This is really changing now, but until somewhat recently we had less input into the product or opportunities to be interviewed by the product team. I think moving forward this will really be mutually beneficial especially because there are some really important 2025 Finch Roadmap items that are important to Thoropass. Can't wait to continue working with this team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Finch?

I appreciate how Finch is standardizing data from different providers. It's highly scalable, although we have yet to use it in production. I'm also glad to see the integration with multiple providers now available in the market. The support team at Finch has been consistently helpful and responsive to our questions and feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finch?

Many of the fields we receive are nullable, except for the internal IDs generated by Finch. This often leads to uncertainty about whether it will cause issues. As a result, it falls on the employer's team to address and resolve these issues, which can require significant discussions and effort on their side. This undermines the benefit of having a standardized, single platform to provide data for us to consume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finch solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Finch, we can access data from various payroll providers, such as ADP and Gusto, in a standardized format. Finch also caches this data, so we don’t experience downtime even if a payroll provider's system goes down for any reason. Essentially, it consolidates data from all providers into a single source for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are trying to integrate with roster sync so as to reduce the manual overhead for customers to manage their employees on our platform and in their provider platform. We are currently building out the feature so we are in the early stages of the workbook and development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Amy Miller of Finch

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you appreciate the support dashboard and access to your developer success manager. We understand the importance of clear documentation, especially when it comes to navigating the nuances between providers. I want to share that we recently added a new page in our API docs to make these nuances more clear. You can check it out here: https://developer.tryfinch.com/integrations/provider-setup

Finch has great documentation and has an easy to learn API. I individually built out our integration within a week. Their customer service is also very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finch helped us onboard our customers in a faster and more seamless process. This allowed users to be able to sign into the app with pre-populated data and allowed for admins of our apps to easily view and manage all their employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Finch?

Our use depends on "write" functionality in addition to "read." Finch is the best API for writing payroll data, hands down. We implemented Finch even faster than the time they forecasted for us, which was a pleasant surprise. Their support team is quick to respond and clearly knowledgeable about their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finch?

We'd love if Finch had 100% coverage of all payroll providers eventually, as sometimes we encounter customers with more obscure payroll systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finch helps us read and write payroll data. Writing payroll data is notoriously tricky, and using their unified API has accelerated our time to market and ability to scale significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Finch?

Finch makes it easy to support integrating with multiple HRIS/payroll providers quickly, and for our customers to get connected to Finch. Finch normalizes the data across providers, so the data we get is standardized and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finch?

We would love to see Finch support more adjacent HR categories outside of HRIS/payroll! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finch solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finch allows us to consolidate our customers' employee data into one easy-to-access environment. We no longer worry about understanding provider-specific API taxonomies, nor do we have to build and maintain multiple integrations. Finch makes it easy to know what data we are getting and how to get it. Their data normalization has been a huge game changer for us and has cut down our development time significantly since we started using Finch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Finch?

Easy access to top payroll providers our customers are using, such as Gusto, Justworks, and Paylocity. Helps save weeks of engineering time by integrating with only 1 API vs. multiple. great customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finch?

We were worried about hitting rate limits, but were able to discuss with our developer engineer at Finch, who walked us through options to ensure we were not getting throttled. If I could choose, we wouldn’t have hit the rate limit in the first place, but I suppose that’s part of building across dozens of integrations. Generally, we’d like more automated integrations, and are seeing more delivered lately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
