PayEFlowPayEFlow for CA firms & payroll bureaus

Every client's payroll. One login.

PayEFlow lets a CA firm run its own payroll and every client's payroll side by side — each client's status for the month on one page, staff access you control client by client, and the statutory and bank files each client needs.

How it works

Set up your bureau in three steps.

  1. 1

    Sign up as a CA firm or bureau

    Your firm gets its own company in PayEFlow — your staff are employees there, with their own payroll.

  2. 2

    Add each client in one step

    Every client company is set up separately, with its own employees, salary structures and statutory settings.

  3. 3

    Give your team access, client by client

    Assign staff HR, Admin, Finance or Compliance access on chosen clients — or all of them.

Every client at a glance

Know which client's payroll is stuck — before they call.

The Clients page lists every client company with where this month's payroll stands, so the team knows what to finish first.

  • This month's payroll status for each client on one page.
  • Add a new client in one step from the same page.
  • A company switcher that always shows where you are — Our firm or Client of your firm.
  • One email is one login, however many companies a person works on.

Access you control

The right people on the right clients.

The firm owner decides who works on which client, and in what capacity.

  • HR, Admin, Finance or Compliance access on chosen clients, or on all of them.
  • Firm staff never get those roles in the firm's own company — your own payroll stays private.
  • A read-only Compliance role for an auditor or an external payroll reviewer.
  • Maker-checker approval on each client's run, and nobody approves their own request.
  • An audit trail per company — old → new values, IP address and downloads.

Questions from CA firms

How many client companies can a CA firm run in PayEFlow?+
A CA firm or payroll bureau account holds the firm's own company plus any number of client companies, all reached from the same login.
Can my staff see our firm's own payroll?+
No — not through client access. Staff get HR, Admin, Finance or Compliance roles only on the client companies you choose; those roles are never given in the firm's own company, so your own salaries stay private.
Are client companies kept separate?+
Yes. Each company's data sits in its own database schema, and the company switcher shows clearly whether you're in your own firm or in a client's company.
Can an outside payroll party review a client's payroll?+
Yes. The Compliance role gives read access across a company — useful for an auditor or an external payroll reviewer — without the ability to change anything.
Can we use FirmEFlow for the practice and PayEFlow for client payroll?+
Yes. FirmEFlow runs your practice — CRM, tasks, timesheets and billing — and PayEFlow runs payroll. One sign-in covers both, and the apps button switches between them.
