IFA Selects Paychex as Preferred Payroll Solutions Provider

The International Franchise Association (IFA), the world's oldest and largest organization representing franchising worldwide, announced it has selected Paychex, Inc., one of the nation’s leading providers of integrated human capital management solutions for payroll and HR services, as its preferred payroll solutions provider for IFA membership.

IFA selected Paychex after completing a rigorous preferred provider RFP process in early 2018. The decision was based on several metrics including service model, retention, size, pricing, and franchise experience. Paychex will be a key preferred provider offering comprehensive payroll solutions to IFA members.

IFA’s President and CEO Robert Cresanti, CFE stated, “Bringing Paychex on as a preferred provider is a natural fit for the IFA, since they are a longtime member with a focus on small- to medium-sized businesses.” Cresanti continued, “We’re certain Paychex has the right mix of national scale, franchise experience, and service quality that our members will love.”

“Paychex has a long history of delivering best-in-class payroll and HR solutions that allow franchise owners to focus on growing and managing a successful business,” said Maureen Lally, vice president of marketing at Paychex. “By removing the administrative burdens that come with managing payroll and tax obligations, Paychex’s dedicated professionals partner with clients to help them address the HR challenges they face every day, such as retaining employees, recruiting top talent, and managing benefits, resulting in more efficient and productive business operations.”

With more than 605,000 clients, Paychex is one of America’s leading providers of payroll and HR services, with a strong focus on integrated human capital management solutions and employee benefits services for small-to mid-sized businesses.
