I'm the CEO of ZenPayroll. This launch is really special for us because one of our primary goals is to empower accountants & bookkeepers with modern software.<p>Using our new functionality, accountants and bookkeepers can now offer modern payroll to their clients, and manage all of them from a free centralized dashboard.<p>There's a growing trend of small businesses outsourcing their back-office. These business owners are strapped for time and are juggling many different balls all at once. Independent service providers are there to help but they're dependent on the tools they use, which unfortunately have usually been overly complex and expensive.<p>With the rise of modern SaaS tools, these accountants and bookkeepers can now offer a much more compelling service to their clients, streamline their business, and hopefully expand.<p>We're thrilled to be a part of this shift and if anyone ever has any feedback/questions/thoughts to share, I can be reached directly at josh@zenpayroll.com
From their security page[0]:<p>>The bank account information you provide in order to complete payroll processing is secured using the same technology that banks use. <i>ZenPayroll employees never have access to this information</i> and it is fully encrypted and stored securely in our system.<p>This can't be true can it? Surely an admin/dev has access to the crypto procedures and the key has to exist somewhere, right? At some point the key has to meet the encrypted data and if they are sending ACH or other payments, surely the "inaccessible to employees" data has to be decrypted and sent, right?<p>Is this just layman speak for "Rhonda the Receptionist can't see your account number"?<p>[0]<a href="https://zenpayroll.com/security" rel="nofollow">https://zenpayroll.com/security</a>
><i>"service designed to help accounting and bookkeeping service providers manage the payroll for multiple companies."</i><p>The last time ZenPayroll made the front page, I (and others) were skeptical about the ability to usurp some of the bigger players. Targeting second party payroll providers is a superb idea. In fact, as someone who dabbled in low-key book keeping services to help me pay for school, something like this would have been wonderful. This is how business becomes more efficient. Waiting on Canada...
