“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.”

“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.”
