The Payroll Problem

Where payroll quietly breaks down for accounting firms.

Unlike bookkeeping, payroll has hard deadlines, statutory penalties, and direct impact on employee trust.

Missed Filing Deadlines
One missed deadline across a client portfolio can trigger fines that fall back on your firm.
High Volume, Low Margin
Payroll is time-consuming, repetitive, and error-prone at scale. Processing payroll for 50+ clients leaves little room for the advisory work that actually drives firm revenue.
Last-Minute Client Changes
New hires, leavers, salary revisions, bonuses, and corrections - often submitted days before the payroll run. Managing these under deadline pressure is where errors happen.
Staff Capacity During Peak Cycles
Month-end, quarter-end, and year-end create payroll volume spikes that stretch internal teams.
Year-End Compliance Overload
W-2s, P60s, T4s, Payment Summaries - year-end payroll reporting is a compliance minefield across regions. Getting it wrong exposes both your firm and your clients to penalties.
Payroll Services Handled for Your Clients

From monthly payroll runs to multi-year compliance filings.

Fully executed, white-labeled, and delivered back to your firm.

Salary & Wage Processing
Gross-to-net payroll calculations for all employee types - salaried, hourly, part-time, and contract. Processed accurately across weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly pay cycles.
Statutory Deductions & Contributions
All mandatory deductions calculated and applied - income tax withholding, social security, pension contributions, superannuation, and benefits deductions.
Payslip Generation & Distribution
Branded, accurate payslips generated for every employee every pay cycle - formatted to your client's requirements and delivered through their preferred channel.
Payroll Tax Filing & Deposits
Federal, state, and local payroll tax deposits calculated and filed on schedule - including IRS 941/944 (USA), PAYE/NI (UK), CRA remittances (Canada), and ATO/BAS (Australia).
Payroll Reconciliation
Payroll figures reconciled against bank statements, general ledger entries, and tax filings every cycle.
Payroll Accounting & Journal Entries
Payroll transactions posted to the general ledger with correct account coding - fully integrated with the client's bookkeeping records for clean financial reporting.
Deadline-Backed SLA
Every payroll run is governed by an agreed SLA - not a best-effort promise. Pay cycle schedules, filing deadlines, and delivery windows are locked in at onboarding and tracked every cycle.
Dedicated Certified Payroll Team
A fixed team of certified accounting professionals assigned exclusively to your firm - not a shared pool, not a rotating roster. The same people process your clients' payroll every cycle.
Double-Review
Every payroll run goes through a two-stage review - payroll preparer followed by senior sign-off - before anything is submitted or delivered.
Multi-Region Compliance
USA · UK · Canada · Australia - one offshore payroll team covering all regional standards. IRS/FICA, HMRC/PAYE/NI, CRA/CPP/EI, ATO/PAYG/STP.
