What is the best payroll software for providing outsource services to clients?

SuperPayroll's purpose-built bureau software is designed specifically for accounting firms and payroll service providers who manage multiple client payrolls. Our single database architecture eliminates the need for multiple instances while maintaining strong client data separation and security.

Automated Batch Reporting
Unlimited Client Scalability

Why Choose Bureau-Specific Software?

Generic multi-company payroll solutions weren't built for the unique needs of payroll bureaus who manage payrolls for multiple clients and companies. They often require separate instances per client, leading to:

  • Time waste: Logging in/out of 20+ different databases
  • Manual processes: Days spent on repetitive tasks like month-end reporting
  • Scalability issues: Adding clients means adding complexity
  • Inconsistent processes: Different setups across client databases

Before SuperPayroll

  • Time: 6 person-days (3 people × 2 days)
  • Staff: Team of 3 payroll clerks

After SuperPayroll

  • Time: 1 hour (automated)

The Result: Month-end reports for 117 clients with one click

This payroll outsource service provider now processes month-end reporting, including 5 standard reports for each of their 117 clients, with a single click.

The full process takes only about an hour and requires no manual repetition of the same month-end parameters and no logging in and out of multiple client instances or databases.
