Clear, Reliable Headcount Tracking Simplified

HRMS and payroll tools capture employee data, but they rarely help accountants understand how headcount changes affect costs or future plans. CandorIQ brings that information together and turns it into clear, real-time insight you can rely on.

Single View of Headcount and Spend

Monitor employee counts, payroll totals, and role changes in one place. See how hiring, exits, and internal moves influence workforce costs across teams and regions.

Headcount Decisions Backed by Live Data

Use up-to-date HRMS and payroll information to support hiring plans, restructures, and role changes. Keep decisions consistent, traceable, and aligned with financial goals as the business scales.

Always-Current Cost Visibility

Track labor costs as headcount shifts. Built-in alerts and budget thresholds help accounting teams identify risks early and stay within approved limits.

Shared Insight Across Finance and HR

Work from a common source of truth. Easily share headcount views, cost forecasts, and approvals with HR and leadership to reduce back-and-forth and improve accuracy.

Learn From Historical Trends

Track how headcount and workforce costs evolve over time. Use past data to refine planning, improve forecasts, and reduce surprises in future cycles.
