3

You Get Paid Every Month

You earn 20% recurring commission for every client who stays subscribed. No work required after the referral. Your commission keeps coming as long as they use Updoot.

Payroll-Ready Reports Your Clients Actually Send You

Overtime, PTO, gross pay, and hours by employee -- already calculated, ready to export.

The number one complaint from accountants and payroll providers is the same everywhere: clients send over incomplete, inconsistent, or just plain wrong time data. Someone forgets to log a day. Overtime is not calculated. PTO is tracked in a separate spreadsheet that does not match.

Updoot eliminates all of it. Employees clock in and out by job and location. Managers approve hours before they flow into payroll reports. Overtime is calculated automatically based on your client's settings -- daily, weekly, or both.

At the end of the pay period, clients export a clean report with total hours, regular hours, overtime hours, PTO, and gross pay by employee. It maps directly to Gusto, ADP, and Paychex. You get the data you need without the cleanup.

GPS Time Clock Built for Small Business Clients

Employees clock in from phone, desktop, or kiosk -- hours are verified and manager-approved before payroll.

Small businesses with hourly employees need a time clock that actually works for their team -- not an enterprise system that takes weeks to set up and nobody uses correctly.

Updoot employees clock in and out from their phone, a desktop, or a shared punch kiosk on-site. GPS captures where they punched in so there is no question about whether someone was actually at the job site. Hours are tracked by job, project, and location automatically.

Managers see active shifts on their dashboard in real time. They review and approve time before it flows into payroll reports. Only approved hours make it into the export your clients send you -- so the numbers you work with are already verified.

Why Accountants and Payroll Providers Recommend Updoot to Their Small Business Clients

Every CPA and payroll provider who works with small businesses has the same experience come payroll time. A client sends over a spreadsheet that is missing three days. Someone's overtime was not tracked. PTO was approved verbally but not recorded anywhere. You spend an hour fixing data before you can process anything.

That is not a client problem. That is a systems problem. Your clients are not doing this on purpose -- they do not have a system that makes it easy to do it right. Updoot is that system. Employees clock in and out, managers approve time, and a clean payroll export is ready at the end of every pay period. The errors stop because the process stops depending on memory and spreadsheets.

For you, the practical benefit is immediate. Clean data in means less cleanup work on your end. Payroll takes less time. Disputes over hours happen less. Clients who are organized are easier clients to serve.

The 20% recurring commission is a real additional revenue stream on top of that. If you refer five clients and they each pay $50 a month, you are earning $500 a month in passive income -- every month, automatically, with no additional work after the initial recommendation. That compounds quickly as your client base grows and more of them move onto the platform.

Updoot is built specifically for the 1 to 50 employee small businesses that make up most accounting and payroll client rosters. It is not overkill. It does not require IT support. Clients are set up and tracking time within minutes of signing up -- which means they actually use it instead of abandoning it after the first week.
