Payroll Without the Busywork 

Running payroll shouldn’t feel like running a project of its own. With CORE Payroll, powered by Gusto, you can process payroll, pay your team, and handle all tax filings without ever leaving the system you already use to manage projects and billing. 

Whether you’re looking to save time, improve accuracy, or reduce compliance headaches, CORE Payroll helps A/E firms focus on what matters most: designing, building, and serving clients. 

We’ll also leave ample time for Q&A, so you can get your specific payroll questions answered live. 

Guest Speakers:  

  • Matt Cooper, BQE's Chief Executive Officer
  • Chris Vernon, VP of Product Management
  • Faisal Syed, Director of Product Management

During this session, you'll learn how integrated payroll can benefit your firm: 

1

Timesheet hours and pay rates flow automatically into payroll (ie: no manual re-entry). 

2

Payroll totals post instantly to CORE’s general ledger, giving you up-to-date financials.

3

Real-time sync with Gusto reduces errors, shortens payroll cycles, and saves hours every pay period. 

4

Job costing data updates instantly, so you see the true cost of every project as it happens.

Who Can See What and Why It Matters

Reduce risk, clean up access, and still empower your team

Access control is often treated as a system setting. In practice, it shapes how a firm operates. The wrong permissions create real consequences. Too much access introduces risk and weakens internal controls. Too little access slows teams down and limits accountability.

This session looks at how to design role-based access in a way that supports both security and performance. You will see the most common permission mistakes firms make, from giving everyone admin rights to restricting project managers from the data they need to do their jobs.

We will walk through practical access models for key roles, including project managers, principals, finance teams, and system administrators. The focus is on clarity. Who should see what, who should approve what, and how to separate responsibilities without creating bottlenecks.

The session also covers governance practices that help firms stay audit-ready and reduce long-term risk. This includes internal controls, periodic access reviews, and simple ways to manage permissions as your firm grows.

If your firm is unsure whether its current setup is too open, too restrictive, or simply inconsistent, this session will provide a clear framework to bring structure, reduce risk, and support better day-to-day operations.
