Payroll outsourcing for accounting firms
Accounting firms buy payroll outsourcing for two reasons: to run payroll for their own staff, and to offer payroll to their clients under their own brand. In the second case, they need a partner that works to their standards, meets strict cut-offs and handles many small client payrolls at once. Accuracy, audit trails and confidentiality matter more than features, because the firm's reputation is attached to every payslip.
In short: Accounting firms usually need white-label payroll delivery for the firm's own clients and multi-entity processing with separate cut-offs and approvals from a payroll outsourcing provider. Check the questions below before you choose, or describe your need and get one to five free introductions.
What accounting firms need from payroll outsourcing
- White-label payroll delivery for the firm's own clients
- Multi-entity processing with separate cut-offs and approvals
- Audit trails showing who changed what and when
- Monthly CPF submissions and year-end income reporting for each client
- Payroll journals delivered in a format the firm can post
- Agreed escalation and error correction procedures
Questions to ask a provider
- How many client payrolls can you run for us each month without missing cut-offs?
- Can payslips and reports carry our branding rather than yours?
- What audit trail do you keep for changes to pay data?
- Who is responsible for penalties caused by payroll errors?
Pitfalls to avoid
- Liability for errors must be agreed in writing before client payrolls are handed over
- Year-end income reporting deadlines can create a bottleneck across many clients at once
- Losing access to payroll history if the arrangement ends can strand your clients
