Payroll Acquisition Program for Accountants
The Payroll Acquisition Program for Accountants provides accounting professionals a business opportunity. By selling your book to Paychex, you can gain relief from the time-consuming task of payroll processing and focus more effort on strategic and profitable client services.
Why process payroll for clients?
A survey1 conducted by Paychex revealed:
-
Only 15% of accountants process payroll for profit
-
The other 85% offer payroll processing to fulfill a client request or to have access to payroll data
It’s simple really. By having Paychex process payroll for your clients, you fulfill their needs and gain access to payroll data. Use the time savings to enhance your consultations and elevate your advisory role.

Why Your Firm Should Not Offer Payroll
No two firms are alike but there are common reasons to sell your book and leave payroll processing to the experts:
- Unlock capital and time to invest in strategic growth
