Payroll & HR Partnerships for Accounting Professionals
Give your clients the payroll and HR support they need,
without stepping outside the work you do best.
Accounting professionals are trusted with more than numbers. Clients rely on you for guidance, and that trust is worth protecting when referring to outside services. Affiliated HR & Payroll partners with CPAs, bookkeepers, and accounting firms to handle payroll processing, tax compliance, and HR administration for your clients, so you can stay focused on the advisory work that built the relationship in the first place.
Our partnership model is built around one principle:
The right payroll partner should make your practice stronger, not compete with it.
CONSULTATIVE
Our sales professionals recommend the right fit for each client’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all package.
COMPLIANT
We help relieve the burden of payroll tax changes and ACA reporting, including 1094-C and 1095-C filing for clients with 50 or more employees.
CONNECTED
Data flows between our payroll system and the accounting software your firm already uses, including QuickBooks, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics, and more
CLIENT-FIRST
Our partnership is structured to strengthen your client relationships, not replace your role in them.

How the Partnership Works
What Your Firm Gains
Referring payroll and HR work to a trusted partner does more than lighten your workload. It positions your firm as a resource clients can count on for more than compliance work. As client advisory services continue to grow across the profession, firms are increasingly expected to guide clients toward the right operational support, not just prepare their taxes. A payroll partnership lets your firm offer that guidance without adding payroll administration to your own plate.
What Your Clients Gain
Payroll tax regulations change regularly at the federal, state, and local level, and mistakes are costly to correct. When your clients process payroll with Affiliated HR & Payroll, that burden shifts to a dedicated partner built to manage it. For clients with employees in multiple Texas cities or counties, or across state lines, that support becomes even more valuable.
The right partnership doesn’t just process payroll. It reduces the compliance risk that too often lands back on the accountant.
From compliance to client retention, our partnership is designed to support your practice.
Client Testimonials

"I wanted to send a quick thank you for processing the payroll this week seamlessly. I hadn’t even thought about the fact that you’re located in Houston and dealing with the aftermath of the hurricane, and then you process the payroll like it is a normal week. I understand it has been far from normal there. I hope none of you sustained significant damage. Hopefully you all have power."
