Why more Canadian accountants & bookkeepers partner with Payworks
Share this article
Be honest – if you’re an accountant or a bookkeeper, does hearing the word “payroll” make you wince? Between manual calculations, compliance checks, remittances, and the occasional “Wait, is this stat holiday federally or provincially regulated?” moment, payroll can feel like a headache for even the most meticulous professional.
But here’s the good news: switching to Payworks can alleviate that pressure (and that knee-jerk stressed-out reaction!). Here are three reasons why:
- Let’s talk peace of mind.
Within the ever-changing landscape of Canadian payroll legislation, it can be hard to keep up with everything. But non-compliance is not an option when it comes to paying Canadians, remitting or reporting. With Payworks, there’ll be no more digging through tax updates or interpreting new rules at 11 p.m.; let our experts sweat the details (and update our application accordingly!) while you get back to billable work…or, dare we say, your evening. - Automation that feels like magic.
Imagine direct deposits instead of manual cheques, ROEs that take minutes instead of moon cycles, and T4s that practically prepare themselves. That’s the reality when you switch to a system designed to make payroll predictable, not painful. Payworks has your back with features like…
- One common database: Unify your clients’ data with a workforce management suite that allows time, absence, and employee data to seamlessly flow through to payroll.
- Automatic calculations: Skip the manual math with configurable and automated earning, deduction, benefit, and accrual calculations.
- Unlimited payroll previews: Catch and correct any errors before the final payroll is processed.
- Payroll reports: Minimize the risk of missed information or discrepancies with at-the-ready reports that can help reconcile payroll transactions with financial statements.
- Happier clients (yes, really).
When their employees get paid accurately and on time – every time – your clients see you as the hero. A system that reduces errors and speeds up processes doesn’t just make your life easier; it boosts your reputation, too. With Payworks, you get to enjoy:
- One secure email login. Throw out your mental rolodex of client login details and enjoy a single point of entry to unlock and move between each of your clients’ payroll accounts.
- Journal entry integration: Reduce manual data input errors and send payroll journal entry data to Quickbooks Online or Xero with just one click.
- Automated submissions to CRA/RQ and Service Canada: Save yourself time by sharing the administrative load, with government remittances, tax forms, and ROEs submitted on behalf of you and your clients.
- Payworks Self Service: Eliminate the need for time-consuming back-and-forth communication by empowering your clients’ staff to add and update information through their own Self Service accounts, available through desktop and mobile applications.
