The Ultimate Buyer's Guide for Payroll — for Finance and Accounting Leaders
Few line items move more money or carry more risk than payroll — and few consume more of accounting's capacity. Every pay cycle is a tax deposit, a multi-jurisdiction filing, a set of journal entries, and a control point, any one of which can derail a close or surface in an audit. Choosing the right outsourcing partner is a financial decision, and it deserves a financial case.
That case has to hold up across the room. Your controller is protecting the integrity of the GL and the speed of the close. Your CFO is weighing the cost of a control failure against the price of preventing it. Your payroll manager knows precisely where today's process breaks. Win them over separately, and the decision moves.
This guide equips finance and accounting professionals to evaluate providers and build a recommendation that earns budget. Whether you're scoping the market, comparing finalists, or assembling the business case for leadership, you'll find resources written for the people who own the numbers.
What you'll find inside:
- Stakeholder talking points for controllers, VPs of accounting, CFOs, and payroll managers — each mapped to what that leader is accountable for, plus guidance on how to present
- A detailed evaluation checklist spanning processing accuracy, tax compliance, financial controls and the close cycle, technology architecture, security, service, scalability, and more
- Criteria for judging whether a provider operates inside your Workday tenant or merely connects to it
- A close-cycle and audit lens on accuracy, segregation of duties, and the controls evidence auditors ask for
