Finance & Accounting

Driving Accuracy. Fueling Growth.

CogNet’s Finance & Accounting services are designed specifically for the demands of the HR outsourcing industry — including PEOs, ASOs, Payroll Providers, and HR Technology companies. We understand that for HR outsourcing firms, finance isn’t just about clean books — it’s about precision, compliance, and seamless alignment between payroll, benefits, tax, and client billing.

Through our Extended Office as a Service℠ (EOaaS℠) model, we manage the day-to-day financial operations that keep your business and your clients running.

With CogNet managing the day-to-day finance operations, your internal teams can focus on strategic initiatives like cash flow optimization, growth planning, and profitability tracking — while we ensure the numbers behind the business are accurate, timely, and audit-ready.
