Why CPAs Recommend Netchex to Their Clients

When a CPA recommends a payroll platform to a client, their reputation is on the line. The recommendation has to hold up — accurate tax filings, clean reports, responsive support, and a system that doesn’t create more work for the accountant managing the relationship.

That’s the standard Netchex is built to meet.

What CPAs Look for in a Payroll Platform

When accountants evaluate payroll software for their clients, the checklist looks different than it does for the business owner. CPAs need payroll that:

• Files accurately — every quarter, every time, without corrections that create a downstream accounting headache
• Produces clean, exportable reports that don’t require reformatting before they’re usable
• Handles W-2s and 1099s correctly without the accountant having to step in and clean up
• Has a support team that actually answers — because when something is wrong, it needs to be resolved before the deadline, not after
• Doesn’t embarrass the person who recommended it

Netchex checks every box.

Accountant-Friendly Features Built Into the Platform

Accurate, Deadline-Proof Tax Filing

Netchex handles federal, state, and local payroll tax filings automatically. Quarterly returns, year-end W-2s, and 1099s are filed on time and verified for accuracy. When your client’s payroll runs correctly every time, your review process stays clean.

GL Export That Works With Your Software

Export payroll data in a format that maps directly into your client’s general ledger — whether they’re running QuickBooks, Sage, or another accounting platform. Less reformatting. Fewer manual entries. Cleaner books.

Clear, Readable Payroll Reports

Netchex generates detailed payroll registers, tax liability reports, and labor cost summaries that are easy to read and ready to use. No data archaeology required.

Dedicated Account Manager for Every Client

Every Netchex client gets a dedicated Account Manager — a named contact who knows the account. When your client has a question or something needs to be corrected, there’s a real person to call. And 90% of calls are answered in under 1 minute.

Support You Can Count On at Year-End

The Netchex service team is FPC-certified and US-based. During W-2 season and quarterly filing crunch times, they’re available when it counts — not routing your client through a generic help center queue.

Proof Points CPAs Can Stand Behind

• 98% customer satisfaction score

A Platform Designed for the Businesses You Work With

Netchex is built for businesses with 50 to 5,000 employees — exactly the client profile that most CPAs serve. It’s particularly strong in industries with hourly workforces and multi-location complexity: healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, and professional services.

If you have clients in those sectors who are struggling with their current payroll setup, Netchex is worth a conversation.
