Answers to payroll questions
when you need them

The number one thing CPAs want from payroll companies is to answer the phone and answer their question.  That’s why we assign our most experienced Payroll Specialists to our CPA relationships. 
 
Every client has a CPA and every CPA matters to us.

How we work with CPAs

CPAs are a vitally important contributor to their clients' growth and success.
Your voice carries tremendous weight and business owners rely on you for their most important decisions.
That’s why we have prioritized CPAs in our client service model.

We always pick up the phone

Business owners are best served when their company is a valued client - that's why we always answer the phone. At ConnectPay, we only serve small businesses, so every client is a valued client, and they get treated that way.  All of your clients will have the same Payroll Specialist so that when you need something, you have a direct line to someone familiar with your clients’ accounts to help.

Tax department
at-the-ready

When a question involves tax or another technical area of payroll, you won’t have to navigate an automated phone tree or figure out which department to call.  You always start with your Payroll Specialist, who will communicate with our in house tax department to get your question answered as quickly as possible.

What we
DON’T DO

One differentiator between ConnectPay and other payroll providers is that we don’t try to sell your clients other services. Since we ONLY offer payroll, we aren’t calling your clients to offer them insurance, 401(k) management, PEOs, or anything else. If your revenue is bolstered by offering wealth management or insurance services, we’re here to support you, not compete!

Frequently Asked Questions

Some commonly asked questions from our CPA community.

Who do I call when I have a question?
We do our best to assign you one Connected Service Representative who helps all of your clients.  This way you have just one person to call for anything you need. Our team answers the phone during business hours and you’ll never get voicemail or an automated phone directory.
How do I get answers to payroll tax questions?
If your Connected Service Rep can’t answer a technical tax question, they’ll conference-in our tax department to help get your question answered in just one phone call.
Are you going to bother me during tax season?
No!  Our sales team may try to stop by with a basket of goodies for your team, but we won’t pester you when your clients need you most.
Are you going to sell my clients other services?
No.  Since we only do payroll, we’d have nothing else to sell. ConnectPay is a great match for CPA firms that offer wealth management, 401(k) management, insurance or other advisory services, because we won’t compete for that revenue.
Are my clients too small to get good service?
We’re built for small businesses! ConnectPay works best with America’s small businesses, and no company is too small. We love handling everything from S-Corps  and up!
How do you manage client onboarding?
Proper onboarding is a critical component of good client service.  With thoughtful and well-executed onboarding, we prevent problems, making the payroll experience a positive one for the company and their CPA. If you transfer your entire payroll book of business, we help you every step of the way including customized communications for your clients. 
Why is ConnectPay the best payroll provider for my clients?
Your clients don’t need the Big 4 and they don’t need the big payroll companies.  ConnectPay is built for small businesses with dedicated Client Success Managers who answer the phones during business hours to get questions answered in one call, technology that’s focused on their needs, and no sales call to get them to buy additional HR or benefits services.
