Owner Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Doing payroll the right way!" August 29, 2024 5.0 Always an excellent experience. When they do mess up, they take ownership and fix it. So much better than the faceless interface to QuickBooks/Intuit. Pros They handle all submissions at the federal and state levels. No filing of anything from me! Cons Finding the right report to generate, based on their brief two word name, is often challenging. Is it a report? A tax filing? And how to set it up? For example, our yearly workers comp insurance audit requires squaring with quarterly submissions across two years. Generating the right report is tricky!
