After setup is complete, Bench will have secure, view-only accountant access to your ADP payroll account.

Some older or accountant-managed ADP RUN accounts may already have an accounting firm connected, and ADP sometimes limits accounts to a single connected accounting firm at a time. In those cases, the client may first need to remove or replace the existing accountant authorization before adding Bench.
