Efficient payroll accounting for excellent client service

The challenge

Before working with cleverlohn, payroll accounting was a complex, time-consuming task for KNH Steuerberatungsgesellschaft and its clients. During the coronavirus pandemic in particular, extra challenges such as short-time work allowance (Kurzarbeitergeld) made payroll accounting an especially delicate topic. Internal workflows were time-consuming and error-prone, which led to delays and more administrative work. Frequent legal changes in wage tax and social security made the processes even harder.

The switch to cleverlohn

KNH became aware of cleverlohn when Ole, cleverlohn's founder, contacted the firm and presented the innovative solution. The KNH team was impressed by cleverlohn's vision and digital approach, as the firm itself has a strong focus on digitalisation. Although KNH was one of cleverlohn's first partners, its own transition went largely smoothly. Challenges with the interfaces between the different systems were spotted early and improved digitally. As one of the first tax firms to use cleverlohn in its early phase, KNH benefited from an efficient solution that took work off its hands. Management praises cleverlohn's support and how quickly questions and requests are resolved.

The solution

By working with cleverlohn, KNH Steuerberatungsgesellschaft made its payroll accounting more efficient and more secure. It was easy to leave older payrolls with another provider while all new clients are processed through cleverlohn. The digital approach and the automation options noticeably ease the firm's workload. “cleverlohn offered us a modern, dynamic and digital solution that fits our own approach perfectly,” says management. The firm especially values the clear communication and personal support from the cleverlohn team as well as its individually assigned payroll accountant. KNH continues to see great potential in cleverlohn's digital simplification of payroll accounting, especially through more interfaces that improve the data flow between systems. The firm is convinced that cleverlohn will simplify the future of payroll accounting even further.

The result

The combination of digital precision and personal service has fundamentally improved payroll accounting at KNH Steuerberatungsgesellschaft. The firm has access to all relevant data at any time. It can rely on payroll accounting running smoothly. Thanks to automation and digitalisation through cleverlohn, the firm can focus more on its core tasks and further increase efficiency in accounting.
