ADP® Accountant Connect℠ Expands Firms’ Value to Clients

Accountant Connect℠ is a completely free, cloud-based platform designed for accounting firms that refer and manage ADP® payroll clients. It serves as a centralized hub for payroll, tax, HR, and talent management. This tool delivers real-time, multi-client payroll data, tax research, and compensation insights in a single, mobile-friendly dashboard. It also integrates seamlessly with leading accounting software, including QuickBooks Online, enabling efficient general ledger mapping and payroll data imports without manual rekeying.

Built specifically for accountants serving small-to-midsized businesses, Accountant Connect helps accounting firms reclaim valuable time while expanding their role as strategic advisors. By unifying compliance workflows with higher-value advisory tools, the platform enables firms to move beyond transactional accounting and deliver data-driven guidance that supports smarter business decisions.

Key features include real-time payroll reporting across multiple clients, automated payroll and tax notifications, and access to hundreds of integrated applications through the ADP Marketplace. These integrations support expense management, benefits administration, time tracking, and scheduling, helping accounting firms reduce administrative burden and increase accuracy.

Accountant Connect also includes a robust Resource Center that provides on-demand access to authoritative content such as the U.S. Master Tax Guide from Wolters Kluwer, with 20 years of archived history, along with industry reports, compensation benchmarking, business valuation tools, and client-ready calculators. These insights equip accountants with the context needed for more consultative, strategic client conversations.

Beyond technology, Accountant Connect is reinforced by concierge-level support. Built-in Service Connect enables secure document sharing and resolution tracking with ADP’s dedicated Accountant HelpDesk, staffed by tenured payroll and tax experts. The Partner Health Dashboard further enhances value by proactively identifying potential issues before they disrupt payroll or tax filings.

Together, these capabilities help accounting firms boost efficiency, strengthen service offerings, and position themselves for increased revenue, long-term growth, and deeper client relationships.
