ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As accountants actively prepare for year end, along with the fast-approaching tax season, Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of integrated human capital management solutions for payroll, HR, retirement, and insurance services, today announced its latest technology and service offering designed exclusively for accountants to help drive greater efficiency, AccountantHQ.

• Robust reporting capabilities. Accountants have access to comprehensive reporting and analytics through AccountantHQ, providing greater insights for strategic consultation and allowing accountants to compare data across clients.

• Valuable professional resources. AccountantHQ also offers convenient access to the Paychex Accountant Knowledge Center, which includes free, valuable resources such as online, self-study CPE courses, client-letter templates, federal and state-specific tax tools, payroll and HR news, and more.

"With AccountantHQ, Paychex is helping to drive efficiency by putting accountants in the best position possible to easily access critical client payroll and HR data, powerful reporting tools, and more," said Tom Hammond, Paychex vice president of corporate strategy and product management. "Paychex's combination of technology and service has earned us the designation of being the preferred provider of payroll, HR, and retirement services for AICPA members and their clients for more than a decade plus. We're excited to take our partnership with the accounting community to an even higher level with AccountantHQ."  

The efficiencies gained through AccountantHQ are tangible for Ted Chapekis, principal of The Accounting Office, a Michigan-based accounting and tax services firm.
