This world-leader chose FLS to simplify their tax
 processing for a large number of payroll operations.

The Challenges

Large number of payroll offices. The large number of employees and payroll offices led to inefficiencies in tax processing and errors that resulted in penalties for non-compliance.

Inefficient manual processes. The company needed to reduce the amount of time spent on the repetitive and administrative tasks of payroll tax compliance and bring automation to the process.

The Solution

The Manager of State and Local Taxes sought a solution to automate the processing of federal, state, and local tax payments. Key requirements included user-friendly features, a short learning curve, and the ability to generate laser-printed, signature-ready returns upon demand.

The company evaluated to two other vendors, but chose FLS payroll tax software based on its range of features and reports.

 

Results

Accurate & timely reports. The FLS Payroll Tax System™ delivers accurate and timely reports for this company's ever-increasing volume of payroll tax needs.

Remote processing capability. Remote users dial into the compliance application weekly to electronically input payroll tax data. A Wide Area Network application treats users as if they were stations on the Local Area Network at their headquarters. Managers can now receive detailed wage, tax, and employee headcount reports as frequently as needed instead of only quarterly.

Simple automated interfaces. Data import routines accept data from all payroll systems and their two service bureau payroll providers. The FLS application interfaces to accounts payable, treasury management, and other accounting systems, and is compliant with IRS requirements for electronic funds transfer and tax filing.

Ongoing compliance & optimal cash management. The system handles multiple companies and an unlimited number of state and local tax jurisdictions. It also tracks data and provides reports by company, division, and payroll unit. FLS provides the company with continual updates on tax deposit calendars for federal, state, and local tax payments. They also take advantage of the product's built-in cash management features to optimize payments.
