[Canada] Wagepoint launches new growth program for accountants and bookkeepers

In Canada, the Calgary-based payroll software provider Wagepoint has announced the launch of a new partner program designed to help Canadian accountants and bookkeepers turn payroll services into a larger part of their businesses, Calgary.tech reports.

WagePro+ rewards firms as the number of clients they manage through Wagepoint increases. It comprises five tiers: Starter, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, which adjust automatically based on each firm’s sub-client count, with additional resources becoming available at higher levels.

According to Wagepoint, the program comes in response to a growing opportunity for accounting professionals from small businesses seeking greater help navigating payroll and regulatory requirements.

The company cited research from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, noting that Canadian small business owners lose around 32 working days each year to regulatory compliance. 

Wagepoint reportedly believes that burden is causing an increasing number of entrepreneurs to rely on accountants and bookkeepers for payroll support.

A key component of WagePro+ is the new Wagepoint Partner Directory, a searchable national database connecting small businesses with accounting professionals offering payroll services. Eligible firms can join the directory at no cost.

In addition, the program offers co-marketing funds, certification opportunities, Continuing Professional Development-eligible training, and partner-exclusive resources. Higher-tier firms receive faster support service levels and access to payroll specialists.

Partners will also reportedly receive a complimentary Wagepoint payroll subscription for their own firm, to familiarise themselves with the platform before moving clients onto it.

Ben Richmond - Wagepoint CEO - said, “We want to be the partner Canadian practices choose because we help them grow, not just because we process their payroll.”
