Why have many accountants stopped payroll processing?
Exiting payroll processing has been a natural progression for many years and now has been emphasized the past 3-5 years. Software brought some perceived opportunity to payroll services in the '80s and '90s, but the advancing complexity of payroll and timing requirements continue to force, or require, accountants to consider outsourcing or exiting payroll services to industry professionals.
Additionally, an increase of efficiency had been proven once payroll was separated from traditional accounting, tax, audit and consulting services, greatly benefiting the accounting firm.
Why has payroll become more complicated for accounting firms?
There are 5 main factors that have made payroll more complicated for accounting firms.
- Need for more sophisticated user driven software
- The client needs for more workforce resources
- Tax regulation
- New state compliance rules
- New federal compliance and credit rules

There are two important considerations that often create interest for accountants to consider an exit plan:
- A good, qualified partner or buyer – Payroll Vault is a boutique payroll service brand with the best client service available in the industry – aligned to work with both the client and the accounting professional.

Testimonials
Tricia and her Team have been outstanding providing support to our clients with employees in Florida and other states. They have been able to clearly explain the complexities of US payroll to Corporate CFOs based overseas.
I refer all my clients with payroll to Paula at Payroll Vault. Her expertise and professionalism always exceed my expectations. Her operation runs so lean, she can provide professional payroll service at a price that is comparable to do it yourself programs. Being able to entrust Paula with the payroll function allows me more time to focus on the accounting and tax side of my clients' needs. Most importantly, Paula provides my clients with the same care and integrity that I do. This makes her my top choice every time.
We are a full-service CPA firm, but we don’t do payroll. I love working with Payroll Vault because my clients get the personal touch you don’t get with bigger payroll providers and they make payroll easy for my clients. Payroll Vault has an easy-to-use portal where everything is located for quick and secure access and their prices are very affordable. Tim and Sandra are also easy to get a hold if needed. I would highly recommend Payroll Vault if you are looking for a full service provider.
