Accpac-Paychex Venture Targets Small Businesses

Rochester, N.Y. (Aug 15, 2003) -- Small businesses using Accpac International Inc.’s Simply Accounting 2003 product now have a bilingual payroll option, thanks to a partnership with human resources, payroll and benefits outsourcing company Paychex Inc.

Simply Accounting 2003 users now have a choice between the “do-it-yourself” payroll features already in Simply Accounting and a fully integrated payroll service from Paychex.

“Our research found that many Simply Accounting users want the benefits of a fully outsourced payroll solution, but they did not want to enter their payroll data twice,” Scott Garell, senior vice president with Accpac’s small business group, said in a statement. “The partnership of Accpac with a top company like Paychex combines two great products into one solution that will ensure our clients have real choice in managing their payroll needs.”

Simply Accounting 2003 is available in basic and pro editions and sells for $49.99 and $99.99 respectively. They are available at www.simplyaccounting.com and retailers including Office Depot, Best Buy, Staples.com, Amazon.com and Buy.com.

Pricing for Paychex services is dependent on individual client requirements.
