Outsourced payroll, handled by an accounting firm
Not a payroll bureau bolted onto your books. The same team that keeps your books and files your tax runs the payroll, so the numbers only exist in one place.

A payroll bureau still leaves you the reconciliation
Outsourcing payroll to a dedicated provider solves the pay run and the remittance. What it does not solve is the seam. The payroll system holds one version of your wage and deduction data, your books hold another, and someone has to reconcile them, usually at year-end, usually you or your bookkeeper.
Mismatches there are the reason T4 totals sometimes disagree with the wage expense in the financial statements, which is exactly the kind of discrepancy that invites questions.
Outsourcing to the firm that keeps the books
With taxifi there is no seam because there is no second system. Payroll is run by the same firm that reconciles your accounts daily and prepares your corporate tax return, so a pay run is a bookkeeping event, not an import.
You also get a Canadian accountant behind the remittances and the slips, which a payroll bureau does not provide. Questions about whether a bonus should run through payroll, how to handle a taxable benefit, or whether a worker is an employee are answered by the person who signs your filings.
What you hand over
The calculations, the remittance deadlines, the slips, the Records of Employment, and the Ontario filings where they apply. What you keep is the approval on each run and visibility in your dashboard.
If you are comparing what a bookkeeper, an accountant, and an AI-native firm each actually cover, our comparison of the three lays it out.

Common questions
How is this different from a payroll bureau?
A bureau runs payroll in its own system, which leaves your books and your payroll data to be reconciled later. taxifi runs payroll inside the same service that keeps your books and files your tax, so there is one set of numbers and no reconciliation exercise.
Do I get an accountant, or just processing?
An accountant. A Canadian accountant is behind every remittance and every slip, and questions about taxable benefits, bonuses, or worker classification are answered by the person who signs your filings.
Can you take over payroll mid-year?
Yes. We collect the year-to-date figures from your current provider so the year-end slips are complete, and the switch is free.
What do I still have to do?
Confirm hours or salaries for each period and approve the run. The calculations, remittance deadlines, slips, and Records of Employment are handled for you.
