Why Should You Outsource Your Payroll?

October 1, 2018

Payroll is one function most business owners are happy to outsource or hire someone else to handle. Unless you're a bookkeeper or accountant, you probably didn't start your business because you like cutting paychecks and filing payroll taxes.

Managing your payroll is complicated, time consuming, and the penalties for paying taxes late or making filing mistakes are harsh. It involves a lot more than just writing out a few checks.

There are deductions for retirement plans, benefits, and garnishments to manage. There is withholding for federal, state, and local taxes. There are forms to file and payments to make according to strict deadlines. There are monthly, quarterly, and year-end reports to file. W2s and 1099s have to be distributed to employees and contractors.

Every hour you spend administering your payroll is one less hour you can spend on activities that generate revenue. For that reason, outsourcing functions like payroll that aren't part of your core business is often a smart move, but it isn't always so cut and dried. You have to figure out how much it will cost you to outsource or hire someone and whether the cost is worth it in terms of time, money, and aggravation saved.

However, you need to do your homework before you decide which payroll provider will work for you. One of the most frequent complaints about the big payroll providers is poor customer service.

If you're expecting immediate support whenever you have a question, you might be in for a let-down. Customers often complain about waiting on hold and slow turnaround times on support requests. Personal service, such as a dedicated account rep familiar with your account, is not likely either. These are not small local outfits you can call anytime or visit to go over your questions in person.

So, before you choose a payroll provider, give us a call and we will answer any questions you might have. One thing is for sure: we enjoy talking to our clients and provide an outstanding service, so, you will never have to wait "in line" and if your call is missed, it will be returned within minutes. That's our promise!
