Personio launches a new Payroll Expert Plan that now allows small and medium businesses to have their payroll managed by tax advisors in Personio

As of January 20th, 2025, Personio, the leading European HR software platform, is launching its new Personio Payroll Expert Plan, designed to facilitate an optimized and efficient payroll process for small and medium-sized businesses and  tax advisors. “We’re excited to introduce the Personio Payroll Expert Plan, a solution that combines the power of automated payroll with the expertise of tax advisors,” said Jep Esteve, Vice President of Payroll at Personio. “This is payroll as it should be—instant, accurate, and effortless. With HR and payroll all in one place, businesses can focus on growing while knowing their payroll is in expert hands.”

The new offering integrates Personio Payroll, Personio's ITSG-certified payroll solution launched in 2023, with tax advisor knowledge and oversight, supporting companies that may lack in-house payroll expertise. Depending on a company’s needs, businesses can choose from a range of solutions—the Payroll Expert Plan being the latest offering.

Already trusted by over 1,000 businesses, Personio Payroll has evolved through feedback from 600+ partners, particularly tax advisors. These innovations have helped businesses like Outfittery free up valuable time, resources, amidst the constant chase of payroll deadlines, resulting in reduced payroll errors by 90% and achieved up to 75% time savings, thanks to automation and simplified data reconciliation.

Thomas Budzynski, CEO and Partner, ECOVIS KSO Steuerberater + Rechtsanwälte talks about the advantages of the Expert Plan: “A clear advantage is the focus on just one system. Working without interfaces is much better than working with good interfaces. Our clients have full, live access to the entire payroll process at any time with the system.” For Arne Keller, Managing Director, ba tax GmbH, Personio Payroll, in conjunction with the Expert Plan, is the next step towards an automated and stress-free payroll process “that gives everyone involved more time for content and consultations.” 

The Personio Payroll Expert Plan enhances the company's commitment to simplifying payroll for over 14,000 customers. The key benefits include: 

• Simplified payroll process: Integrated HR and payroll functions on one platform.

• Expert oversight: Tax advisors validate and approve payroll, ensuring compliance.

• Enhanced collaboration: Personio’s Tax Advisor Platform offers a more efficient workflow between businesses and tax advisors.

This new plan offers an intuitive payroll system integrated with HR workflows, with tax advisors supporting businesses on monthly payroll runs. Tax advisors can join the Personio Payroll Expert Program for product training, new business opportunities and a more automated payroll process. This initiative aims to reshape payroll, reducing manual tasks and allowing focus on advisory services.

Personio will also launch a Tax Advisor Platform to facilitate collaboration with clients using Personio Payroll and DATEV. This platform centralizes payroll validation and approvals, enhancing efficiency for tax advisors. This launch underscores Personio’s dedication to innovating payroll solutions, meeting the needs of businesses without in-house payroll expertise. Personio maintains its integration with platforms like DATEV, continues to invest in them, ensuring seamless integrations for over 7,000 mutual customers and making sure that all existing integrations remain unaffected by the introduction of the Expert Plan.
