Fits our practice well

We manage payroll for several clients on it and it is dependable, the automated taxes save hours and everything ties to each client file cleanly. Switching between accounts could be smoother.

The integration is the whole point

I used to lie awake worrying about payroll tax deadlines, and now it files and pays them automatically, and because it runs inside QuickBooks the whole thing posts to my books without me touching it.

Good for employees and contractors

Handles both our employees and contractors with year end forms automatically, which simplified January considerably. Very US centric, which suits us but is worth knowing.

Good engine, poor value for us

Fine when everything is standard, but the moment my situation got even slightly unusual the cost and the support experience both worked against me.

Peace of mind on the taxes

For a stable team it has been quietly reliable for years, it never misses a tax filing and the staff get paid on time every single time without me thinking about it.

Same day money out, same day

We were already on QuickBooks so adding payroll was obvious, and it has been, one login, one system, and every pay run posts to the books automatically with no double entry ever.

Four stars, mostly on price

Rock solid for a stable team, it never misses a filing and the staff self service is well used. Support is fine rather than fast, and the cost creeps with hires.

The automatic tax calculation and filing genuinely removed my biggest source of stress as a small business owner, it is the closest thing to a payroll department a business my size can afford.
