  • High-Level Monitoring Misses Payroll Depth

    • Celery is a third-party audit layer, built for payroll
    • It catches calculation logic gaps a high-level view isn't built to see
    • It gives a defensible "review of record" for finance, leadership, and external auditors
  • Configurable Controls Catch What You Set Up. AI Catches What You Didn't.

    • Off-the-shelf AI tests with no rule-writing required
    • Detects overtime drift, PTO patterns, suspicious one-off payments
    • Learns from every flag you approve or dismiss
  • No Migration. No Switching. Celery Runs Alongside Safebooks.

    • Celery integrates with all systems, no integration build required
    • No IT involvement, no system changes, no formatting needed
    • Your audit travels with you if you change payroll vendors
  • Celery is Built for Multi-Facility Operators

    • Per-facility, per-role, per-shift-type baselines
    • Cross-facility variance reports HQ can actually act on
    • Surfaces wage parity issues, agency cost creep, and PBJ data gaps before close

“Knowing that we have Celery in the background, running and catching as much as possible is going 
to help a lot in our review process and streamline that and make it a lot faster for us.”
Lance Leland
COO
“Celery has transformed how we view payroll data. Its customization means it meets our specific needs, and it presents data far more clearly than large Excel files.”
