Payroll administration is essential, but often time-consuming and complex. Legislation is constantly changing, mistakes are easily made, and continuity is vulnerable in the event of illness or staff turnover. That is why more and more organisations are choosing to outsource their AFAS payroll administration to a specialist.
In this article, you will discover the advantages, points to consider and how Proces Bouwers helps you with practical, reliable support via AFAS Mentorship.
What does outsourcing AFAS entail?
Outsourcing AFAS means that you entrust your payroll administration, and sometimes broader HR processes, to a specialised AFAS partner. You continue to use your own AFAS environment, but the execution, control and optimisation of payroll processing is handled by experts.
This allows you to benefit from up-to-date knowledge, error-free processing and continuity — without having to keep a daily eye on things yourself.
Advantages of outsourcing AFAS payroll administration
- Time savings: less manual processing, fewer rounds of corrections
- Compliance: always up to date with laws and regulations
- Continuity: no worries in case of illness or holidays
- Cost savings: more efficient processes and predictable rates
- Use of technology: AFAS Pocket App and BI dashboards for real-time insight
Over 14,000 organisations rely on AFAS for their payroll processing — and with good reason.
Points to consider and disadvantages
Of course, outsourcing also has disadvantages:
- You relinquish some direct control over the process.
- You are dependent on the speed and quality of your partner.
- Customisation may incur additional costs.
That is why it is crucial to work with an experienced and reliable AFAS partner who knows your organisation and thinks along with you.

Do it yourself or outsource it?
Still unsure? Then it is good to weigh up the pros and cons:
- Do it yourself: more control, but also more risk of errors, downtime or capacity issues.
- Outsourcing: Less tax, more certainty, and always support in complex situations.
With the right guidance — such as via AFAS Mentorship — you can even combine the best of both worlds: insight and control, without operational pressure.
