Original Press Release:
New Payroll Software from ACCPAC Provides Affordable Tax Table Updates for Quickbooks Users
Also Operates as Stand-alone Payroll; Gives Small Businesses a Low Cost, High Function Payroll Alternative
PLEASANTON, Calif., December 9, 2003 - ACCPAC International, Inc., a subsidiary of Computer Associates International, Inc. (NYSE: CA), announced today the release of Simply Accounting Payroll(tm) 2004, a new, stand-alone U.S. payroll package that also integrates with Intuit* QuickBooks* accounting software, Simply Accounting* versions 6.0 to 9.0, and MYOB*. The completely bilingual (Spanish/English) software carries an MSRP of $79 (USD) and includes one calendar year of employee tax calculation tables at no additional charge.
"There are millions of small businesses in North America that can benefit from the combination of powerful payroll features, tax table updates, low cost, and flexible integration that Simply Accounting Payroll offers," said Scott Garell, Senior Vice President, ACCPAC Small Business Group. "QuickBooks users in particular will find great value in lower payroll related costs and the ability to continue using QuickBooks for their accounting if they desire, without fear of a forced payroll compatibility upgrade or endless price increases for payroll tax table updates. The fact that it can be run in either Spanish or English also empowers the very large and under-served Hispanic business population to take greater control of their business. Simply Accounting Payroll saves small businesses money and lets them focus more on running their business."
New Simply Accounting Payroll provides full function payroll for an unlimited number of employees. Its ability to integrate with several all-in-one accounting packages gives small businesses an option to reduce costs and break away from the forced annual accounting software upgrade typically required for maintaining payroll within those products. For example, users of QuickBooks "Do it Yourself" Payroll service can save over 50% in their annual payroll tax table service costs because Simply Accounting Payroll already includes all of the federal and state tax table updates. Businesses that do not use accounting software can use Simply Accounting Payroll on its own, with the full confidence of working with a payroll system developed by ACCPAC, a leading global provider of accounting systems for small and mid-size businesses.
Simply Accounting Payroll benefits from over 15 years of ACCPAC payroll development experience that has resulted in top quality, integrated payroll software that is easy to set up and use, and offers a low cost to operate. Its many features include:
Maximum Flexibility - Simply Accounting Payroll supports an unlimited number of employees with complete payroll functionality. It operates as a stand-alone payroll system or can integrate with Intuit QuickBooks, MYOB, or Simply Accounting versions 6.0 - 9.0. Integration with accounting software programs has been made easy and can be accomplished in 3 simple steps.
Employee Data Management - Simply Accounting Payroll maintains employee profiles, tracks earnings and benefits, expenses and deductions, advances, sick days, and bank days. It provides five customizable earnings fields and ten customizable deductions fields.
Payroll Processing - Simply Accounting Payroll processes federal and state taxes, calculates SDI, FUTA and SUTA, and offers optional direct deposit service.
Payroll Reporting - Simply Accounting Payroll retains prior-year payroll history, produces customizable checks and advices, and both a payroll register and a check register.
