If they take pooled tips or discretionary service charges, we can help them set up and manage an ethical and compliant tronc scheme.
We work with accountancy practices to support them in providing compliant advice on the set up and structure of a tronc scheme and on managing that tronc scheme if clients wish to outsource this.
If you don’t have the specific expertise nor resource bandwidth in your practice, this can be one more stress you could do without, but that can seriously improve your clients’ profit margins.
We work in a couple of different ways to help you provide a great tronc service for your clients.
If you are processing the payroll for your clients, we can provide Troncmaster Services on your behalf. Working with your payroll team we will have access to our secure cloud systems to easily upload and access the tronc distribution information.
You can refer any tronc enquiries to us as a trusted partner. You don’t need to get involved; we will deal with the client directly. We can even provide a referral fee for successful introductions.
