Through the arrangement, clients of HORNE's Franchise Services Division will have access to two of PayMaxx's payroll solutions: PowerPayroll and PayLoad. With PowerPayroll, PayMaxx's award-winning, comprehensive Internet payroll service for businesses with 1-150 employees, HORNE clients can submit their payroll to PayMaxx's central production facility where payroll checks and reports are processed for next-day delivery and online viewing or on-site printing. Clients will also have the options of nationwide tax filing and compliance, general ledger and time and attendance links, electronic new hire reporting, benefit accruals, direct deposit, and pre-transmission review and editing.

PayMaxx's payroll solution for businesses with 150-10,000 employees, PayLoad Suite, is available via PC or hosted ASP deployment. PayLoad interfaces with a variety of third-party products, general ledger systems and electronic time clocks.

"One of the most progressive accounting firms in the Southeast, the Franchise Services Division of HORNE specializes in working with restaurant franchisees on a local and national basis," said Kathey Palmer, PayMaxx Vice President of Business Development. "By partnering with PayMaxx, a national payroll processor experienced in the payroll requirements of franchise operations since the early 1990s, HORNE will be able to provide its clients with a more full-featured and technologically advanced payroll offering."

"We are very excited about building better relationships with our new payroll program with PayMaxx. Our clients will clearly benefit from the added features that are now available to them," said Michael Sassano, Franchise Business Consultant with HORNE LLP.
