Justworks Rolls Out Partner Program to Help Accountants Provide HR and Operations Guidance to Small Businesses

NEW YORK - September 7, 2017 — Small business owners have very close relationships with their accountants, and those bonds are getting tighter everyday. Long gone are the days when an accountant's role was bookkeeping. Now more than ever, accountants are true business advisors -- often called on to provide guidance and support to keep the business running smoothly. As accountants play an increasing role in small business operations, Justworks, the benefits, payroll, and HR support platform for small and mid-size businesses, is collaborating with them to make sure business owners have all the support they need to run their companies.

Today Justworks is launching its Partner Program for accounting, legal and consulting professionals to offer complementary payroll, HR compliance and benefits solutions to their clients. Justworks educates its partners on the benefits of a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), including how it can help manage the complexities of their customers’ business operations. Partners have access to free whitepapers, industry reports, eBooks and other tools that can help their customers start and run their business.

“It’s our goal to help entrepreneurs easily navigate the ins and outs of running a business, and we’re working directly with their strongest support team, their accountants, to do this,” said Molly Siems, director of business development at Justworks. “With trusted partners, Justworks is better able to help business owners work fearlessly everyday.”

Justworks enables partners to provide ongoing support with administrative access to the Justworks platform so they can continue to be involved in their customers’ bookkeeping, payroll and reporting. Partners benefit from building their ongoing relationship with customers, and customers can place their trust in one reliable partner for their operational needs.

“Our collaboration with Justworks was a no-brainer as we both continue to innovate and expand into new markets,” said Jim Bourke, managing director, Advisory Services at WithumSmith+Brown, a Partner Program participant. “Together with Justworks we’re committed to making sure business owners have the tools and support they need to manage back-office operations so they can focus on their own growth and success.”

Justworks Partner Program participants receive perks and special pricing for new members they enroll on the Justworks platform. Accountants, lawyers, consultants and other service providers with small business customers are invited to participate in the program and learn more at https://justworks.com/partners.
