Accounting is changing fast. Whether you’re a solopreneur or part of a firm, you’re juggling more clients, more data, and higher expectations, all while facing a persistent talent shortage. What used to be manual or routine now demands speed, accuracy, and insight.
That’s where AI and automation are quietly redefining what it means to run an efficient, modern practice. These technologies are no longer a pie-in-the-sky, flying-car vision of the future — they’re a here-and-now necessity, helping you work smarter and deliver even greater value to your clients.
Payroll might not sound revolutionary, but it’s where some of the biggest efficiency gains are happening. With data that touches every part of a business, from staffing costs to cash flow, payroll is more than just admin. It’s a source of insight.
That’s why Huumans launched Payroll Relief 2025 — an initiative designed to help advisors experience this shift firsthand. It gives accountants, bookkeepers, and payroll professionals a year of free payroll for their firms and clients, along with access to the Huumans Financial Dashboard and AI-powered advisor, Roy.
It’s not just a time-saver. It’s a glimpse into what’s next for the accounting profession.
Traditional ‘free payroll’ offers are often only built for small business owners. At Huumans, we’ve flipped the script, including small businesses’ most trusted advisors — accountants, bookkeepers, and payroll experts.
Advisors who join Payroll Relief 2025 get:
“Accountants and bookkeepers are Canadian small businesses’ most trusted advisors. They’re indispensable. Which is why we want to give them future-proof tools for a changing economy.”
— Kyle Stinson, Head of Partnerships, Huumans
This program isn’t about testing software. It’s about building better habits with tools that simplify work and make decision-making more strategic.
Lead the change toward AI-driven financial clarity. Join the first cohort of the Huumans Collective. Hurry, though, to avoid crowds, we’re limiting this to 100 spots.
Across the industry, one theme is clear: AI is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have advantage.
Recent research shows:
Behind these numbers is one truth: Automation frees time for value-added work. Instead of getting bogged down in admin, you can focus on helping clients make smarter business decisions.
AI doesn’t replace advisory — it amplifies it.
“AI is a tool to complement accountants’ work, helping them focus on deeper analysis and strategic initiatives that help businesses grow.”
— Jonathan Pastrikos, BDC Advisory Services
By taking care of the manual and mundane, automation and AI open the door to more meaningful, human work.
Payroll is often siloed. Businesses complete the process and move on to the next task at hand. But when payroll data connects directly to a financial dashboard, it becomes a strategic asset.
That’s where Huumans stands out. The Huumans Dashboard integrates payroll with your client’s full financial picture, unlocking smarter insights with the help of Roy, an AI-powered advisor and CFO.
Roy helps advisors analyze payroll data alongside financial performance. Answering questions, like:
Roy responds instantly, turning data into actionable insights into deeper understanding and more strategic choices. Always on the clock, Roy helps you and your clients.
He can answer the business owner’s questions, so they can ask you better questions. And he can answer your questions, adding a further level of expertise and insights.
Instead of just holding the information, AI helps you unlock the stories this data has to tell. It’s how technology becomes a true partner.
AI and automation are driving measurable gains through:
For small businesses, the benefits of AI multiply — fewer errors, better insights, and more proactive guidance. For small business advisors, it means higher-value work, happier clients, and more sustainable growth.
When payroll runs itself, and insights are at your fingertips, you can focus on what really matters: Helping clients move forward.
We built Payroll Relief 2025 to help you test-drive this future today — risk-free.
It’s an opportunity to see how free payroll software, a connected dashboard, and an AI-powered advisor can change the way you work and how your small business clients evaluate their finances.

Fine print changes all the time. We do our best to keep things accurate and helpful, but this blog doesn’t replace your accountant, bookkeeper, or lawyer.
If you catch something off, let us know and we’ll fix it. And if we link to other sites, that’s just us sharing resources — what they say is on them, not us.
