Let’s be honest, payroll shouldn’t be this complicated. But for many bureaus and accountants, it still feels like a time drain: repetitive, manual, and hard to price fairly. At FreshPay, we believe (with a bit of payroll help) it can be simple and profitable. All you need is the right setup, support, and systems in place.
That’s why we’ve put together these 7 steps to Boost Profitability, providing you with practical advice and payroll help from real industry experience.
Whether you’re just getting started or ready to rework your payroll offering, these tips are here to help you build a process that works for you – not just your clients.
Payroll Help and what you need to know:
🍋 Automate the repetitive stuff
Reclaim hours every week by automating tasks like submissions, journal exports, and pension uploads. 40% of FreshPay users said they save between 1 to 5 hours, while 20% save between 11 and 20 hours. According to the American Payroll Association, automation can reduce payroll processing costs by a remarkable 80%, allowing organisations to reallocate resources
🍋 Set up smart from day one
The best way to reduce queries later is to get things right at the start. We walk you through how to onboard clients properly and save time (and stress) down the line.
🍋 Use the right people in the right roles
Not every task needs a senior. Learn how to split your team’s responsibilities to work more efficiently – and reduce your risk of human error.
🍋 Keep clients long-term
Profitable payroll isn’t just about speed – it’s about sustainable relationships. Set expectations, establish boundaries, and gently say goodbye to the clients who aren’t a fit.
🍋 Make it collaborative
With FreshPay’s shared workflows, you can work side by side with clients in real time – no more chasing down info or waiting on approvals.
🍋 Know your true costs
It’s not just about the price of software. Understand how your team’s time, effort, and back-and-forth add up – and where you can start saving.
🍋 Price it right
Fair, scalable pricing starts with understanding your value. Our model is based on employers, not employees – so it grows with your client base, not your headaches.
