There is no need for in-house payroll software to play second fiddle to cloud-based solutions. Many companies look to take greater control of their payroll operations while also saving their financial resources. Advanced Micro Solutions Payroll Software is a powerful payroll solution that can serve:
- A small accounting department
- A single, dedicated business accountant
These tax professionals can handle even large payroll service needs with increased reliability and time efficiency. As a matter of fact, given our intuitive, menu-driven platform, many small business owners can even take on their own payroll services with Advanced Micro Solutions.
Choosing Your In-House Payroll Software
One of the big advantages of in-house payroll is the ability to quickly respond to changes in your personnel and compensation packages. The 40 user-defined fields in our payroll system allow a filer to readily calculate and track changes to:
- Health benefits
- Retirement plans
- Paid-time-off
- Other compensation incentives
Custom payroll solutions are no problem for our system. Keeping that in mind, here is a list of the most essential features included in our payroll module:
- Automated federal, state, and local payroll tax calculations
- Direct deposit processing and paycheck printing
- Data import/export for quarterly and year-end filings
- E-file forms 940, 941, and/or 944
- A running tally of federal and state tax liabilities
- Creates SSN verification files
- Secure data reports with encrypted files
Cloud-based software services are not the only powerful and accessible options. Subscription- and transaction-based fees quickly add up for users. The cost often attached to a cloud-based system also does not guarantee quality.
Choosing between systems truly comes down to personal preference and specific necessities. Choose your in-house payroll software by how you plan on implementing these features within your business model and accounting personnel resources.
Our powerful software features delivered within an easy-to-use platform is a recipe for success across many types of businesses and payroll service needs. We do not rely on the past payroll management models to inform the future of accounting.
