What a practice payroll tool must do

5 things a multi-client payroll tool should do. We do all five.

Manage many companies from one login, compute statutory per client, generate Form 16 and 24Q, process in bulk, and keep client data separate and secure. 247HRM does all five from one platform.

Manage many companies

Run payroll for every client from one login, switching between companies without separate installs, files or credentials per client.

One login, many clients

Compute statutory

PF, ESI, PT and TDS are computed for each client company to its own state and rules, so compliance is accurate across the book.

Per client statutory

File Form 16 & 24Q

Form 24Q comes out FVU validated for each company, and Form 16 reconciles with it, so quarterly and year-end filing is clean per client.

24Q validated

Process in bulk

Payslips, deductions and returns are produced in bulk across companies, so a practice closes many cycles without keying each one by hand.

Bulk across clients

Keep clients separate

Each client's data is held separately under ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701 and SOC 2 Type II controls, so confidentiality is never at risk.

The cost of one tool per client

The hidden cost of a separate payroll file for every client.

When each client sits in its own spreadsheet or install, a practice logs in and out, re-keys salary data and reconciles returns one company at a time. Errors creep in and confidentiality is hard to guarantee. Here is the difference 247HRM makes.

One tool per client

Re-keying, slow closes and data risk

What accounting practices report when each client is separate.

  • !
    2 to 3×The same salary data keyed into a sheet, a payroll file and a 24Q utility.
  • !

How it works

Payroll that runs every client from one place.

Three connections do the work: client setup in, payroll run in bulk, statutory and returns out.

Log in per clientOne practice login

Every client company, set up once.

Each client is set up as its own company, and a practice user switches between them from one login. As part of Payroll Management, the practice setup keeps salary structures, states and statutory profiles per client, so confidentiality and accuracy hold across the whole book.

  • Company-wise setup with per-client salary and state rules
  • Switch between client companies from one secure login
  • Client data held separately under ISO controls

Why Indian accounting practices keep clients on one platform.

Verified themes from practices running multi-company payroll on 247HRM.

We used to keep a separate file for every client. Running them all from one login cut our March close from weeks to days.

Questions, answered

Your practice payroll questions, answered.

Can one practice login manage payroll for many client companies?
Yes. Each client is set up as its own company with its own employees, salary structures, states and statutory profile, and a practice user switches between them from one login. There is no separate install or credential set per client.
Is each client's data kept separate?
Client data is held separately, and access is controlled per practice user. 247HRM is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701, is SOC 2 Type II audited and GDPR aligned, so confidentiality is protected across the book.
How are PF, ESI, PT and TDS handled across clients?
PF, ESI, PT and TDS are computed for each client company to its own state and rules. The same engine produces wage registers and statutory outputs, so compliance is accurate even when clients span different states.
Can the platform generate Form 16 and Form 24Q per client?
Yes. Form 24Q comes out as an FVU validated text file for each company, ready for the TIN portal, and Form 16 reconciles with the 24Q filed for that client, so quarterly and year-end filing stays clean.
Does it support bulk processing at scale?
Payslips, deductions and bank files are produced in bulk per client without keying each cycle by hand, and 247HRM can run payroll for 5,000 staff in under ten minutes.
Is there support to get a practice started?
Every account gets guided implementation, where a specialist helps set up client companies, salary structures and statutory profiles, so a practice is running real client payrolls quickly.
