Overview

Payroll made simpler, more accurate and far less expensive

Payroll is one of those tasks that has to be exactly right, on time, every single period — yet it rarely earns a firm anything. Handing it to a dedicated offshore team turns a recurring headache into a quiet, dependable process and frees your people for billable work.

AGP runs payroll through proven workflows built around automated calculations, customisable pay schedules and rigorous compliance with federal and state payroll and tax regulations. Whether you pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly, gross-to-net is handled cleanly, deductions are applied correctly and funds reach employees on schedule. For tax, accounting and CPA firms managing payroll across many clients, that consistency is exactly what you need — at a cost that can run up to 50% lower than keeping the function fully in-house.

  • Lower running costs Replace salaries, software licences and training with a single predictable engagement.
  • Compliance built in Calculations align to current federal and state payroll and tax rules.
  • Automation with oversight Automated processing checked by real payroll specialists before release.
  • Schedules that fit you Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly pay cycles configured to each client.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is payroll process outsourcing?

Payroll process outsourcing means handing the calculation, filing and disbursement of employee pay to an external specialist team rather than running it in-house. For AGP, that covers gross-to-net calculations, deductions and withholdings, payroll tax filing statements, salary payment initiation and the reporting around it — all delivered on your chosen pay schedule.

Why should our firm outsource payroll?

Payroll is time-consuming, deadline-bound and unforgiving of errors, yet it rarely generates revenue. Outsourcing it removes the staffing, software and training burden, reduces the risk of compliance mistakes, and gives your team back the hours to focus on advisory and client-facing work that actually grows the practice.

Is outsourcing payroll cost-effective?

For most firms, yes. Running payroll internally means salaries, benefits, software licences and ongoing training. A dedicated offshore team replaces those fixed costs with a single predictable engagement, often reducing the total cost of the function by up to 50% while improving accuracy and turnaround.

How much does payroll outsourcing cost?

It depends on headcount, pay frequency and how much of the cycle you want us to handle. We offer flexible pricing — hourly, per-payslip and fixed-fee models — so the engagement scales with your needs. Book a free consultation and we will scope a quote around your actual volumes.

How do you keep payroll data secure?

Payroll data is highly sensitive, so we treat it that way. Access is restricted to the team working your account, data moves through secure systems, and confidentiality is maintained end to end. Every pay run passes multi-step verification before any payment is initiated.

Which pay schedules can you support?

We configure pay cycles per client — weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly — and can handle off-cycle and year-end runs as needed. Whatever cadence your clients use, we align the process and reporting around it.
