About [PUBLICATION NAME]

[PUBLICATION NAME] is an independent editorial publication focused on AccountantsWorld, Payroll Relief and the accounting-firm technology surrounding them.

AccountantsWorld was acquired by IRIS Software Group in December 2021. The current AccountantsWorld site remains active, while newer Payroll Relief documentation and support increasingly appear inside IRIS’s infrastructure. IRIS’s current company directory now describes AccountantsWorld within its IRIS Payroll portfolio, while its login directory continues to use the AccountantsWorld Payroll Relief name.

That transition makes clear explanations particularly useful. Someone researching Payroll Relief today can encounter several generations of branding without necessarily looking at different products.

How We Research

Our first preference is current first-party information from AccountantsWorld and IRIS.

We use current product pages to understand what AccountantsWorld markets today and the IRIS Payroll Relief Help Center to verify active workflows, permissions, electronic services and product changes. The help system was still receiving significant updates in mid-2026, including new compliance logic, ZayZoon integration and IRIS Agent support.

We also distinguish between different audiences.

An accountant operating a payroll practice needs information about batch processing, compliance and client administration. An employer may need payroll-entry or funding information. An employee generally needs only their own payroll records and self-service functions.

Combining those audiences into one generic “Payroll Relief login” page would make the information less accurate.

Independent From AccountantsWorld and IRIS

[PUBLICATION NAME] is not operated by AccountantsWorld, IRIS Software Group or an accounting firm using Payroll Relief.

We cannot create users, process payroll, initiate ACH transactions, change direct-deposit accounts, file tax forms, retrieve W-2s or review private employer information.

We also do not reproduce Payroll Relief authentication forms or ask visitors to submit workplace credentials.

Our purpose is editorial: organize verified public information into clearer explanations of the systems, workflows and user roles.
