Why Hiring Me for Payroll Beats the Big Companies

Jan 30

Let’s be real. You could go with the big payroll companies like ADP, Ceridian, or Payworks. They promise automation and efficiency, but here’s the truth. Nothing beats having a real person who actually cares about your business running your payroll.

1. Personalized Service

With big companies, you are just a number. When you work with me, I know your business, your team, and your quirks. Questions, mistakes, or last-minute changes get handled fast, without waiting on hold forever.

2. Flexibility

Need to pay a contractor differently this month or adjust vacation pay? Big payroll systems can be rigid. I can make adjustments on the fly and explain exactly what’s happening.

3. Cost-Effective

Big payroll providers often charge monthly fees per employee, plus hidden costs. I offer transparent pricing and you only pay for the service you actually need.

4. Accuracy and Peace of Mind

I handle every deduction, tax, and remittance carefully. Unlike a giant company, I double-check everything personally. Your team gets paid correctly and on time every time.

5. Real Advice When You Need It

Payroll is more than pressing “run payroll.” I can guide you on compliance, tax planning, and best practices. Big companies usually just process payroll and hope you figure the rest out.

My Two Cents

Payroll is critical, but it does not have to be stressful. Having someone who knows your business and actually answers the phone is priceless.

Think of it like choosing between a robot and a friend who has your back. I am that friend.
