Case Study: AKW Financial saves 20+ hours a month with Rippling

AKW Financial saves 20+hours/month after moving over to Rippling

AKW Financial, a Des Moines-based provider of accounting, HR, payroll, benefits, and systems services for small and medium-sized businesses, needed a better technology solution to simplify client onboarding and HR processes. After using ADP and QuickBooks in the past, founder and CEO April Pannell wanted a more seamless, all-in-one platform that could support multiple integrations and scale with her clients.

With Rippling, AKW Financial implemented an integrated platform for client onboarding, new hire onboarding, time tracking, payroll, and app access management. Rippling helped AKW’s clients scale quickly—one robotics customer doubled from 60 to 120 employees without adding internal staff—and cut April’s payroll work to about 5 minutes for 100 employees, saving her 20+ hours per month and roughly $100K in billable hours for clients.
