Any Payroll, Anytime

Murphy+Blesch CPAs, LLP has been processing payrolls for over 30 years. They've seen it all, but Karen Blesch says that she has been pleasantly surprised by the change and innovation that have redefined the payroll business in just the past few years. She says the real game changer has been cloud-based software that has given both firms and clients many more options in how they handle their payroll.

"We have some clients who like to handle their own payroll, and Accounting CS Client Access is a great way to help them do that," she said. "They have more control, they can print their own checks right from the system, and that makes them happy. We can work behind the scenes to do their tax work and serve as sort of a safety net. They're happier, we're happier, and both of our systems run so much more smoothly."

Other clients choose to have the firm handle the entire payroll process using Accounting CS Payroll. Blesch says it's a great option for clients who don't want any part of the payroll process. For those clients, seamless integration ensures that all the information they need is in place at the end of the month.

"I can sum up why we love Accounting CS Payroll in three words: No month-end transmittals," Blesch said. "We have a real-time connection with our payroll clients, so we get all their payroll data in real time and it's all there at the end of the month. It's so much easier."

While in-house processing has worked well for Murphy+Blesch, they've begun looking at the myPay Solutions payroll service as a way to process larger payroll clients, should the need arise in the future.

"I think the biggest thing that we get from all these new options is confidence," Blesch said. "We can offer payroll to any client that comes in the door. Whatever their size, whatever their goals, we know that we can meet their needs and make money doing it."

Christine Trumbull, CPA

CL Trumbull & Company, LLC
Elkton, MD

Christine Trumbull had been using the Thomson Reuters CS Professional Suite to process payroll for around 30 small business clients at CL Trumbull & Company, a small accounting firm in Elkton, Maryland. That changed in 2010 when she decided to refocus her business and reduce staff size.

"I realized that I didn't have the resources to process in-house, but I didn't want to give up established relationships with satisfied clients," she said. "And I didn't feel comfortable handing my clients off to one of the big service bureaus."

So she contacted myPay Solutions. They were able to convert her payroll clients to their system within one pay cycle. Trumbull was able to keep offering the same level of service to clients, maintain the steady cash flow that comes with comprehensive payroll services, and maintain the relationships she had built with her clients.

"myPay Solutions support is the best support I've ever seen anywhere, and the conversion went about as smoothly as any payroll conversion could go," she said. "myPay Solutions feels more like a back-office partner than a separate service bureau. They let me maintain my relationship with my clients, but they're always there when we need them."

Trumbull's clients were pleased as well. "The same person processes my clients' payrolls every pay cycle," she said. "Everyone knows each other by name, not by number, and we know who to call if an issue comes up."

myPay Solutions integrates seamlessly with the CS Professional Suite, enabling Trumbull to keep processes consistent across all clients, whether they choose to process their own payroll or have Trumbull handle it through myPay Solutions.

"Whether a client does their own payroll or has me do it through myPay Solutions, it all integrates with the rest of my software. So all the information is where I need it, when I need it, and reporting stays consistent. My clients' employees can even enter their own time and W-2 information online. It's easier for them, easier for my clients, and easier for me. We can all spend less time on the logistics of the payroll process and more time doing what we do best."
