What does it do?

A comprehensive compensation dashboard that pulls every employee's salary from the people directory, normalises it into a single currency using configurable exchange rates, and surfaces payroll analytics across the whole organisation. It gives finance and HR teams a single place to move from raw, multi-currency salary data to executive-ready compensation insights without any manual spreadsheet work.

When should it be used?

This is the go-to view for any company with an international employee base. CFOs reach for it when they need a normalised view of global payroll for budgeting, board reporting or headcount planning. HR and People Ops teams use it for comp benchmarking, identifying pay equity gaps, and running seniority or department-level analysis. The dashboard normalises to any primary currency of choice: USD, EUR, GBP or whichever currency the business reports in. Particularly powerful ahead of compensation review cycles, fundraising due diligence, or any leadership conversation where salary data needs to be presented cleanly across multiple currencies.

What's inside?

  • A full employee compensation table with name, department, job title, seniority, location, native salary in original currency and normalised equivalent side by side.
  • Configurable exchange rate inputs (one rate per currency) where updating a single rate instantly refreshes every corresponding converted salary across the table.
  • A department breakdown with headcount, total payroll, average salary and salary distribution per team.
  • A seniority breakdown showing headcount, total payroll and average salary by level.
  • Additional insights including compensation by geography, highest and lowest paid groups, and outliers or unusual patterns in the data.
