If it is tax accounting or payroll related and client does not need access, I do it all through QBD since it is far superior to QBO, and I have 50 payroll licenses for QBD as a ProAdvisor. If I did not already have payroll through QBD, I would probably use ADP's payroll system for accountants.

For payroll we use Pensoft. It's simple to use and gets the job done at a reasonable price. We have about 100 payroll clients and it works out pretty well for us.

How does the pro advisor program work and is it something you think is worth doing?

It is worth the cost to me...I do not care about marketing myself as a ProAdvisor, let the low end bookkeepers do that. I like the payroll subscription and getting a license to all QBD products every year, including QBO (though mine is screwed up from something Intuit has chosen to not fix).
My employees only work with clients in QBO, so the limited licensing with ProAdvisor is not an issue since I am the only one using it.

The payroll software can generate a General Ledger report, set up like a journal. We manually input this journal into QB for each pay date processed.

It includes 1 user license of all versions of QBD each year (including POS), and then also allows your firm access to QBO for your own accounting which is now being upgraded to the highest offering of QBO (I'd utilize it if Intuit could resolve their damn issue associated with reimporting data containing payroll). The 50 payroll licenses apply to clients that can use QBD for payroll, NOT QBO (separate subscription, and payroll in QBO SUCKS!!!!). QBD is so infinitely superior for payroll than QBO that I gladly utilize it and make GJEs as necessary to keep clients' actual accounting current.
