Contact usWhat 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.
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
