"When I first started, my wife used to do my payroll for me, but it didn't always work out because I'm too busy, she's too busy ... so her brother, who's a CPA, suggested that I should use Paychex. Having Paychex as my payroll service just makes my life a lot easier."
"The daily time that I don’t spend on (payroll) … it really changes my daily routine. It allows me to make phone calls, answer emails, talk with general contractors and talk with my franchise (personnel). Having the ability to do that streamlines both processes."
"StratasCorp Technologies was quickly outgrowing their payroll provider. Paychex helped them save 10 hours a month and $10,000 a year in tax penalties".
"We thought about doing our own payroll … and it would take maybe 5 to 7 hours …. With state and federal rules constantly changing, it would be difficult to keep up on … and I don’t want to make a mistake with my payroll … I want to get my workers paid and paid right."
“For me and my business, Paychex is someone that I can depend on to make sure that every person is paid on time.”
