Essential Features of Payroll Software for Accountants


With built-in IRD Gateway integration, BizPay automates payday filing and tax reporting as per Inland Revenue’s payday filing guidance. As a result, you can reduce manual uploads and last-minute submissions while keeping payroll filing more efficient.

BizPay eliminates manual timesheet entry with digital clock-in tools, accurate hour tracking and automatic wage calculations. In addition, approved timesheet data can flow directly into payroll processing.

Build rosters, apply pay rates and track costs with ease. For example, this can help accounting firms support clients in industries with variable hours or shift work, including retail and hospitality.

Give your workers and your clients’ staff access to a mobile-friendly employee portal. As a result, they can view payslips, submit leave requests, update contact details and track hours without relying on payroll administrators.

Run detailed reports by date, department, cost centre or client. For example, you can use this data for forecasting, expense reconciliation and client reporting. In addition, BizPay reports support better payroll and business decisions.

BizPay offers a one-time payment or subscription model to suit your firm’s needs. Whether you manage one team or multiple companies, the pricing model can scale with your payroll requirements. Our pricing is affordable, scalable, and transparent—no hidden fees.

Our local support team is available by phone and email. In addition, we provide training and ongoing support to help your team transition smoothly and make better use of the platform.

BizPay integrates with leading accounting software, HR tools and third-party applications. As a result, payroll information can flow more easily into the rest of your business systems.
