Deel

Deel is a global payroll and compliance platform for hiring and paying employees and contractors in over 150 countries. It handles local tax compliance, employment law requirements, and cross-border payments through its own legal entities in each country.

Accounting firms advising clients with international workforces use Deel to manage the payroll and compliance complexity of distributed teams. The platform automates contract generation, local tax withholdings, statutory benefits, and tax document management for each jurisdiction. It provides consolidated reporting that firms can use for financial statements and tax filings.

Deel integrates with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and other accounting platforms for journal entry export. It is best suited for firms serving clients that hire internationally — remote-first companies, startups with distributed teams, and businesses expanding into new markets without establishing local entities.
