Payday HCM Launches Payday Standard for Accounting Firms

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 16, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Payday HCM, a payroll, HR, and benefits provider founded by a CPA in 1985, has launched a new initiative aimed at streamlining the busy season for accounting firms and ensuring clients receive the best possible care. The company, known for its Net Promoter Score of 87 and its commitment to client satisfaction, has introduced The Payday Standard, a free CPA referral program for accounting firms nationwide.

The Payday Standard is designed to offer accounting firms a smoother and more efficient experience during the tax season. By joining the program, accounting firms can assign their clients to a dedicated Payday representative. This arrangement ensures that payroll questions and concerns are directed to the Payday rep, allowing the accounting firm to remain the primary advisor for their clients.

Each member firm is assigned its own Payday representative, who has a direct line to the firm and handles payroll inquiries. These inquiries are guaranteed a response within 90 minutes during business hours, either by phone or email. This streamlined process ensures that accounting firms can focus on their core advisory work while Payday HCM handles the payroll details.

For referred clients, the program offers several benefits. Clients who are referred through a member firm receive a 10 percent discount on their first year of payroll services with Payday HCM. Additionally, these clients benefit from a single point of contact from the first conversation through contracting, onboarding, and every payroll after. Payday HCM operates with a team of 50 payroll, HR, and benefits specialists, ensuring that clients receive top-notch service.

The program is open to CPA firms and accounting practices of all sizes, from solo CPA practices to multi-partner firms. By joining The Payday Standard, accounting firms can expect to see a reduction in payroll-related inquiries during the busiest months of the year. This allows them to focus on their core business while Payday HCM handles the payroll tasks.

Once a firm joins, it is assigned a dedicated Payday representative who will handle all payroll inquiries and ensure that the firm's clients receive the best possible service.

In summary, The Payday Standard is a valuable tool for accounting firms looking to streamline their busy season and provide their clients with the best possible care. By joining the program, firms can assign their clients to a dedicated Payday representative, ensuring that payroll questions are handled efficiently and effectively.
