As MHM has grown over the years, so has the complexity of their accounting and payroll needs, as each property within their portfolio is a distinct legal entity with a unique ownership and operational structure.

As they continued scaling up their business, it became clear to MHM that they needed a real workforce management partner: someone who would support them in paying their many teams accurately and on time, handling and securely storing their always-changing employee records, and providing clear reporting to their General Managers. MHM connected with Payworks to explore the idea of transitioning to [**Managed Payroll Services**](https://www.payworks.ca/solutions/managed-payroll-services), which allows clients to offload payroll administration (in varying degrees) to Payworks’ in-house experts.
