One login, one system, done

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 deposit is brilliant

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.

Three stars, mostly on cost

Fine payroll when everything is standard, but our multi state situation exposed both slow support and a cost structure that was not designed for a small, seasonal crew.

Automatic tax filing took my worry away

We pay a mix of employees and contractors and having both handled here, with the year end forms generated automatically, has been a genuine simplification and I stopped dreading January.

Same day money out, same day

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.

The HR advisor is useful

It handles our larger team and multi state filing well. The per head cost at our size is real money, and the features we want sit on the top tier, but the reliability justifies it.

Better with the accounting, alone less so

The automated taxes and integration are genuinely good, but the value equation gets harder as you add people and realise the features you want need the top tier.
