Case Study: Dunning & Associates achieves streamlined, cloud-based payroll and fewer tax notices with ADP RUN for Partners

Dunning & Associates - Customer Case Study

Dunning & Associates CPAs, a Wichita-based firm offering payroll, tax, bookkeeping and R&D credit services, set out to be a modern advisory firm but struggled with a disconnected technology stack, time-consuming tie-outs, a rise in tax notices due to unsystematic client payments, and the need to support remote work during COVID. These operational frictions limited staff capacity for higher-value advisory work and created training and compliance headaches.

The firm implemented RUN Powered by ADP for Partners, moving payroll, tax and compliance onto a single cloud platform with automated tax payments and seamless updates. The switch reduced notices and fines, simplified training and remote processing, sped client onboarding, unlocked richer client data via Accountant Connect for advisory services, and even supported a $371,000 R&D credit engagement—freeing time to focus on growth and client advising.
