Ledger Brief Take
AccountantHQ positions this as a white-label solution for firms managing multiple client payrolls, though the AI features feel more like automation than true intelligence. The real value is consolidating payroll, tax compliance, and benefits under one roof rather than juggling separate vendors for each client. Built for established firms handling 50+ payroll clients who want to reduce administrative overhead rather than solo practitioners dipping their toes into payroll services.
