NOW is the Time to Switch
to a modern, more robust payroll software platform before QuickBooks Desktop becomes QuickBooks Online
QuickBooks Desktop Payroll always had issues due to manual, time-consuming processes and lack of flexibility. It may be about to get worse for payroll providers using the software.
With the QuickBooks Desktop discontinuation looming, many firms have switched to QuickBooks Online and have reported that there is even less functionality and flexibility, no backup and restore, and especially when it comes to adding payroll features…it is expensive*.
You have other options!
If you are a CPA Firm that offers payroll services or a Payroll Service Bureau using QuickBooks Payroll, the time to start looking for a new software solution is NOW.
* The QuickBooks Online basic plan doesn’t include payroll functionality. If you want to include it into your accounting system, you will have to pay an additional monthly cost (along with a surcharge per each added employee).

GROWTH
“If someone had asked just nine months ago whether we could add another 100 clients in the next 10 months, I’d have said no. Growth of any amount just wasn’t scalable. Now, that growth engine has started running and we’re finally saying, ‘Alright, let’s go get another 100 clients.'”

CONVERSION
“Conversions are never easy. No matter what you’re converting, there are always 1,000 moving parts. Working with Apex’s conversion specialists, we realized that the process would go far quicker and easier than we expected. That’s what sealed the deal.”

Key Considerations When Selecting a New Software Platform
Technical Architecture: Your software platform should be feature rich, reliable, scalable, configurable and able to grow with your firm, always providing you with the support you need to take your next step toward success.
Customer Experience: Your software platform should be easy for your staff AND clients to use. Payroll software that is difficult for clients to interact with will only create additional problems for your team to solve.
Product Partnerships and Integrations: Integration allows your payroll software to easily communicate and collaborate with your existing suite of software solutions, such as your timekeeping application, streamlining your workflow and improving your bottom line.
Automation: Your new payroll software should reduce your workload, and one of the key ways it can do that is with automation that takes care of repetitive, menial tasks and ensures accuracy.
Support: A technology partner will provide a dedicated consultant, in the U.S., that is an expert in payroll processing to help ensure your success long after you have onboarded.
