Terrible since IRIS took over. They have insane amount of 'extra' fees, professional fee's and automatic inflation adjustments to your prices. Their customer service is a joke, you can never get anyon... See more

Telephone Responsiveness

Oftentimes it Is impossible to get someone on the phone at Accountants World and sometimes voice mail messages are not returned. The critical and time-sensitive nature of payroll processing requires a strong and accessible support team at Accountants World

Reports

I would like to start with the fact that I've had an overall good experience. The only REAL issue that I have is that for the payroll reports, the CA ETT is not broken down for each employee. It only shows in the grand total. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this for the reports. It would make things SO much better.

Also it would be a lot better if you could make it so that all employers were on a 2 day processing time for direct deposit. I understand that there is a liability form that I can fill out, but most other payroll services offer this without the liability form and I've had to move quite a few employers to a different payroll system to accommodate. You are losing business over this.

Last item is I would like to be able to export payroll information to .iif format for QuickBooks rather than the direct link. I've had problems with the direct link and a lot of times payroll info is not imported correctly. If you were to allow for each payroll to be exported to .iif format, that would be MUCH better.

I hope you consider these things as I am looking for another platform that will do all this and would rather not switch as I like most of your features, but it is not fitting the bill overall.

User friendly program to use

The program is great to use but I have one fault to find. Our company processes a payroll for a Federal Credit Union and they brought to my attention something that needs to be changed on one of their reports. The ACH report after the Bank name it states direct deposit. It should say the Bank name. This is something that I brought to Accountantsworld's attention and has NOT been changed. This is a legal matter so I'm hoping we don't lose the client over this not being changed.

Accountants World has my back!

If you're an accountant, would you rather have a vendor or a partner? How about a partner that doesn't want to share in your firm's profits?

Accountants World doesn't treat you like a revenue stream. They aren't selling you an "Advisor Programs" each and every year in order for you and your firm to get on their internet list of accountants. (The Accountants World list is free to all accountants.) And they don't make you an unpaid salesperson of their products like some companies I could name but I won't because I don't want to go into it.

Accountants World isn't even selling their accounting software to businesses. Only to accountants. That means no conflict of interest like other accounting software companies that try to compete with you by selling to your clients. None.

The focus at Accountants World is on your success. Like a partner. One way they partner with you is by creating and updating better, highly rated accounting software to help you partner with your clients. That's a lot of partnering, I'll admit. But it's better than the alternative: selling you or your clients something flawed so you can charge for cleaning up the messes your clients can't help making.

As the trusted advisor for your clients, YOU are in control of how much you can trust your clients to help with their own accounting. With Accountants World software, you can prevent your clients from getting in over their heads and drowning. That way, you are free to offer higher value services to your clients instead of correcting the Books they tried to do too Quick.

And did I mention Accountants World products are in the cloud...and have been for years and years? Over 10 years! They were successful at cloud accounting and paperless payroll long before other companies looked up from their desktops and noticed that not all the clouds were in the sky.

Finally, Accountants World isn't dreaming up new ways to part you from your money. Instead, for accountants, Accountants World is a partner giving you the Accounting Power to make Payroll a Relief. And you don't have to be a sage to know that that is a peach of a way to profit.

Seriously, try Accountants World. Their advisors are friendly, professional, and dedicated to helping you, the accountant, succeed. More like your partner than another software vendor.

Customer service often not there

These guys have a fine product at a good price. But, when I have an issue I have to first, get someone on the phone, which can be very difficult and then hope they can actually answer my question. Some of the folks there are average at best.
