One Payroll Platform for Every Client
Managing payroll across multiple businesses shouldn't require multiple payroll systems.
​
The e-PayDay Accountant Portal gives accounting firms, bookkeeping practices and payroll professionals a central location to securely access and manage unlimited client payrolls at no cost.
Clients with up to 3 employees can use e-PayDay FREEPAY® completely free, while larger businesses can subscribe to e-PayDay Go® without changing payroll systems or migrating payroll history.
​
From startup businesses through to established employers, every client can remain on the same trusted payroll platform as their business grows.
Why Accountants Need More Than Payroll Software
Today's accounting and bookkeeping practices do far more than simply process payroll. Clients expect expert advice, ongoing compliance support and efficient payroll services that keep them aligned with Single Touch Payroll (STP) Phase 2, Payday Super, Fair Work Modern Awards and Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requirements.
​
Using multiple payroll systems across different clients increases administration, training, software costs and the risk of compliance errors. Standardising on one Australian cloud payroll platform helps your practice improve efficiency while delivering a consistent payroll experience for every client.
With e-PayDay, your practice can manage payroll for businesses of every size using a single platform. Eligible clients with up to 3 employees can use e-PayDay FREEPAY® at no cost, while growing businesses can seamlessly transition to e-PayDay Go® without changing payroll systems or migrating payroll data.
Whether you're processing payroll for one client or hundreds, e-PayDay provides the tools to simplify payroll administration, improve compliance and support your clients as their businesses grow.
