Payroll Processing. Without the Complexity.
Onboard payroll accounts, process runs, manage employees, and monitor federal and state compliance — all within the same platform where you manage taxes, billing, and clients.
Why Payroll Is Still a Pain Point for Firms
Most firms run payroll in isolation — disconnected from client records, compliance calendars, and the rest of their practice.
Payroll software runs in a silo with no link to your CRM, billing, or tax data — forcing staff to re-enter client details and toggle between platforms for every run.
Federal and state filing obligations are tracked in spreadsheets or memory. Missed deadlines, overlooked agency requirements, and penalty exposure are constant risks.
Firm leadership has no real-time view into which payroll runs are pending, in progress, or completed — making workload planning and client communication reactive.

How Firms Use Payroll Management
Scenario: A firm managing 40 payroll clients onboards all accounts with linked CRM records and batch-processes biweekly runs from a single dashboard.
Batch processing eliminates per-client run setup, reducing payroll processing time by 60%.
Scenario: A payroll manager reviews all federal and state filing obligations across the firm, identifies upcoming due dates, and tracks filing status per agency.
Zero missed filings — every obligation tracked with due date alerts and completion status.
Scenario: A new payroll client is onboarded with EIN, employees, pay frequency, and filing requirements — everything linked to their existing CRM account.
Client is fully set up in under 15 minutes with all records connected across CRM and payroll.
