Hi Cassie -- thanks for your review! Kickfin has a payroll report that you can download into a CSV file, and as long as ADP will allow you to import that file, you should be able to use the report to eliminate manual steps. (We're currently evaluating creating accounting and payroll system-specific file formats to make this process easier for customers. ) If you have a specific need, please drop us a line at support@kickfin.com to let us know what would be useful for you!
