This project showcases a custom centralized payroll and accounting system that Ivan Starr developed for a structural engineering company based in San José, Costa Rica. The software was designed to eliminate the inefficiencies of off-the-shelf solutions by integrating the company’s specific operational needs directly into its accounting and payroll workflow.
About This Project
The Custom Payroll and Accounting Program was built to provide a complete financial management solution for a growing engineering firm that required precise control over employee hours, project billing, and expense allocation. Ivan designed and coded the entire system, focusing on usability, reliability, and deep integration with engineering project workflows.
Key features include:
- Automated payroll processing for multiple employees and pay structures
- Real-time project cost tracking tied to labor and materials
- Dynamic report generation for accounting summaries and project profitability
- Multi-user support with secure authentication and role-based permissions
- Data export functions for financial reconciliation and audits
The program has been in active use by the company, significantly streamlining its administrative workload. By centralizing payroll, accounting, and project management in a single interface, it saves hours of manual work every week and reduces costly human errors.
