Thankyou Payroll: why the cloud is good for business

Thankyou Payroll is a leading PAYE intermediary, powered by a dedication to pay it forward. Their team of passionate payroll experts have navigated the complexities of payroll for over ten years now, helping thousands of business owners in Aotearoa New Zealand to get back to doing the things they love. In this spotlight blog, Thankyou Payroll speaks to us about the importance of ‘the cloud’ in today’s social climate, the benefits cloud-based payroll systems can provide to business owners, and what their partnership with the Digital Boost Alliance means to them.

What’s behind the cloud? 

The cloud. It’s a term we often use when we talk about the internet, though when asked to explain exactly what it is, we’re often stumped. In simple terms, the cloud is like an enormous hard drive located on the internet. It eliminates the risks associated with storing information on your computer or in a filing cabinet, by providing secure storage online instead. If there’s anything the pandemic has taught us, it’s that you never know what could be coming around the bend. However, as a small business owner, having systems in place that eliminate the need for material possessions will strengthen your capabilities to stay operational, even under trying conditions. >The cloud provides your business with resilience; a quality that is considered essential in today’s digital landscape. 

What are the benefits of cloud-based payroll? 

Cloud-based payroll systems, like Thankyou Payroll, encrypt your payroll information and keep it safely stored on an online server, protecting your payroll information with strong foundations to keep risks to a minimum. This allows you to run your payroll anytime, anywhere, on any device - all you need is a secure internet connection and you’re away. Cloud-based payroll systems also help you to stay compliant with payroll legislation so that you can safely avoid unwanted fines. Did you know that you’re required to store your payroll records for seven years – even if an employee has left your business? Forget rifling through a drawer of messy files; cloud-based payroll systems make it all accessible to you with the click of a button. What’s more, they provide a safety net for your business when payroll legislation changes, automatically updating to reflect the new legislation.

Thankyou Payroll and Digital Boost Alliance As a purpose-driven organisation, Thankyou Payroll is committed to providing an exceptional payroll service that goes beyond profit to make good things happen. Partnering with the Digital Boost Alliance aligns perfectly with our dedication to pay it forward, allowing us to help more small business owners find their ‘digital footing’ in the world of payroll - inspiring better business along the way.
