Hi Liz,

I used to speak quite a bit with SMB buyers looking for payroll solutions, so hopefully I can offer a bit of insight. The options that Tom and Anna mentioned (Quickbooks, Microsoft, and ADP) are definitely strong contenders. All of the products are very reputable, and offer features that will let you integrate the system with other areas of your office.

If you're looking to outsource your payroll, along with ADP I'd consider looking into: Ceridian, PayChex, or PayCycle. PayChoice used to be another strong option, but they've had data breaches lately which makes me hesitant to recommend them.

As I mentioned, Microsoft and QuickBooks are strong software options. I also recommend Peachtree as another payroll software option. My mom actually uses Peachtree for her small business, and has never had a problem with it.

If you're still looking for more information, check out some of the free Focus research that is available for your use. Our Payroll Services Buyer's Guide (http://www.focus.com/research/buyers-guides/human-resources/buyers-guide-payr...), and our Payroll Providers Comparison Guide (http://www.focus.com/research/comparison-guides/human-resources/comparison-gu...) will be very useful for you.

Best of luck!

If you are doing your accounting and payroll in-house you might want to consider Quickbooks Online. You can do your books from anywhere and you are always using the most up to date info when you go to your CPA for taxes or other reports. See: http://quickbooksonline.intuit.com/finance-accounting-solutions/ for pricing, online and chat support, and training.

We use Microsoft Great Plains and we are a larger organization. It's nice because it's also what we use for our financials so it integrates into the general ledger easily. And it's a lot more cost effective than ADP!

I work for Paychex and we are generally known as the industry leader for small busines payroll in the United States. We can handle payroll, taxes, Direct Deposit etc for companies with even only one employee. We do well becuase we are publicly traded and offer possibly the best customer service in the industry. We are also SAS 70 Type II compliant so you know that your money is safe. We are also the IRS preferred payroll vendor for electronic filings and if you have a CPA and they are a member of the American Insititure of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) we are their only endorsement.
If you would like any additional informatoin or if I can be of assistance in any capacity please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Thanks!
