Protect Your Cannabis Clients. Strengthen Your Advisory Practice.
Your clients trust you for strategic guidance, not just tax preparation.
Partnering with Paragon Payroll helps you protect your book of business by providing cannabis-specific payroll and HR expertise that reduces client risk, expands your advisory value, strengthens long-term client relationships, and creates additional recurring revenue, without adding work to your team.
Protect Your Book of Business
Help clients avoid the operational and compliance risks of working with payroll providers that may not support the cannabis industry long-term. Strengthen your role as a trusted advisor by introducing a workforce partner built for the cannabis industry.
Expand Your Advisory Value
Offer clients year-round payroll, HR, and workforce expertise without adding staff or becoming a payroll specialist yourself. Deliver more value while staying focused on tax and advisory services.
Create New Revenue Opportunities
Grow your practice with a workforce partner that complements your firm, not competes with it. Whether through client referrals, co-branded education, or revenue sharing, our flexible partnership program helps you generate additional recurring revenue while delivering greater value to your clients.
How the Partnership Works
Our four-step partnership process makes it easy to protect your clients, expand your advisory services, and create additional revenue without adding work to your team.
Step 1: Identify an Opportunity
Ideal referrals include clients who:
- Use a non-cannabis payroll provider
- Are opening a new cannabis business
- Are growing or adding locations
- Want to reduce labor costs
- Are frustrated with payroll or HR
- Have compliance concerns
Step 2: Make the Introduction
Introduce your client to Paragon Payroll.
We'll schedule a discovery conversation, learn about their goals, and evaluate their payroll, HR, and workforce needs. You decide how involved you'd like to be.
Step 3: We Deliver the Solution
Our team handles the heavy lifting.
We'll assess your client's current payroll and HR processes, identify opportunities to reduce risk and improve efficiency, and present a tailored solution backed by cannabis-specific expertise and dedicated implementation support.
Step 4: Everyone Wins
Your client gains a trusted cannabis payroll and HR partner.
You strengthen your advisory relationship, expand the value you provide, and create opportunities for additional recurring revenue, all while we keep you informed and support your client throughout the year.
