ADP’s accounting professional dashboard, Accountant Connect, now offers accountants everything from to the ability to upload and view tax notifications and amendments to payroll processing platform access, to push-notifications and tax resources in one free, user-friendly dashboard. Available to qualifying firms, the platform created for accountants, by accountants, is now integrated with both RUN Powered by ADP and ADP Workforce Now. In an effort to help accountants improve their client’s businesses these enhancements are designed to further streamline critical processes and create easier access to key practice resources while dramatically increasing an accountant’s most valuable asset: time.
“When we first created Accountant Connect, we started out by asking accounting professionals what they needed to better serve their clients,” Erron Stark, DVP of Channel Sales for Accountant Connect. “These enhancements represent another step in the development of this unique solution to address those needs. We have combined tax notices, payroll processing, client information, payroll trends, reporting functions and practice management tools on one platform to make it easier for accountants to serve clients at the touch of a button.”
New capabilities for Accountant Connect – accessible via desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile phone – that enable accountants to better advise their clients include the following:
- Ability to upload and view tax notices and amendments
- In-dashboard ability to run payroll for clients who utilize RUN Powered by ADP
- Access payroll data for both RUN Powered by ADP and Workforce Now
- Added intelligent, client-specific notifications, such as: missed payroll processing or missing EIN (employee identification number)
- Super-fast access to client payroll information from one easy-to-access dashboard where they can view payroll trends, generate or schedule multi-client payroll reports, and interface pay data to their accounting software’s general ledger.
- Admittance to the CCH® Resource Library, Powered by IntelliConnect®, with the latest federal and state tax news and tax briefings including: Ability to access 20-years of archive issues of the U.S. Master Tax Guide® and the new Tax Reform Library on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
- Complimentary CPE courses, state Fast Wage and Tax Facts and IBISWorld® industry reports.
“Accountant Connect is rapidly becoming a ‘go to’ resource for our firm,” Sean M. Duncan, CPA, President, SMD Consulting & Accounting, LLC. We have immediate access to all our clients’ payroll information in a single location, but Accountant Connect offers so much more. Each time we log in, we feel like it continues to evolve. In addition to allowing us to do research, obtain CPE, and easily refer clients to our ADP professional; we are excited to start exploring the value added aspects of the tax notification system and ADP WorkForce Now. ADP continues to create new and innovative tools that we can use to further differentiate ourselves from our competition.”
In addition to the payroll processing available through the Accountant Connect dashboard, ADP offers wholesale services for accountants who are processing a significant number of payrolls at once.
