Small business accountant needs a payroll system that supports multi-client management, transparent pricing, and basic accounting features without the frustrations of QuickBooks.

Workarounds Described

• Uses QuickBooks desktop even though frustrated because alternatives don't meet needs
• Spent hours researching and calling vendors but found none suitable

Implied Software Gaps

• A payroll platform that processes data submitted by the accountant without taking over client relationships
• Accounting+pPayroll hybrid with multi-company support and transparent pricing

MultiClient Payroll Hub

MultiClient Payroll Hub is a white-label payroll processing platform designed for accountants who manage payroll for multiple small businesses. It lets the accountant input data and submit payroll, while the system handles calculations, tax filings, and direct deposits under the accountant's branding—never poaching clients. Transparent pricing, unlimited companies per account, and integrated basic accounting (P&L, balance sheet, A/P, A/R) eliminate the need for separate QuickBooks.
