Sync Rippling payroll and workforce data to Certinia to automate resource cost posting and keep your Salesforce-native ERP current without manual reconciliation.
The Rippling–Certinia integration connects Rippling's payroll and workforce data with Certinia's (formerly FinancialForce) professional services automation and ERP platform. Payroll costs post to Certinia's project and resource management modules, enabling accurate project profitability reporting without manual data transfer between HR and finance.
Certinia runs natively on Salesforce, making it common in professional services firms that already use Salesforce CRM alongside Rippling for HR. The integration closes the loop between people costs in Rippling and project financials in Certinia.
Professional services firms using Certinia for project costing often fail to map Rippling's department and cost center structure to Certinia's resource groups and billing codes. When employee costs don't attach to the correct projects, margin reporting is unreliable. Resource group mapping must be established before the integration goes live.
thePeopleStack configures the Rippling–Certinia integration with payroll component mapping to Certinia's GL, resource group alignment, and project cost center normalization. We validate cost posting accuracy against Certinia's project financials before handing off to the finance team.

Certinia integrations for thePeopleStack's Rippling clients are built around US professional services cost structures and Salesforce-native ERP workflows.
Canadian and cross-border operations: for firms with Canadian employees billed to Certinia projects, we configure Canadian payroll cost components to post correctly to Certinia's resource and project modules.
Yes. Certinia supports HRIS and payroll integrations that bring employee cost data into its PSA and ERP modules. Rippling payroll data can be mapped to Certinia's GL and project costing structure.
Certinia is the rebrand of FinancialForce, a Salesforce-native ERP and professional services automation platform. The underlying product and integration capabilities remain the same under the new name.
Payroll cost data including gross wages, employer taxes, and benefits costs sync to Certinia's GL and project modules. Employee records including department, role, and billing rate can also sync to Certinia's resource management.
Yes. Certinia runs on the Salesforce platform, so a Salesforce org is required. Organizations already running Salesforce CRM alongside Rippling are the most natural fit for this integration.
Configuration takes 4–6 hours including GL mapping, resource group alignment, and cost center normalization. Firms with complex project structures or multi-entity setups should budget additional time.
