• Reports & websites in the wholesale version can be branded with the accounting firm’s logo.
• Flat-fee monthly pricing ($35/mo. for monthly payroll) makes costs predictable.
• Clean user interface provides quick efficient payroll processing.
• Included employee self-service portal (PayView) can be configured to allow pay stub and W-2 download for all employees, as well as company-wide reporting for owners & managers.

Potential Limitations

• Does not support after-the-fact payroll processing.
• No online Help or knowledgebase available, although there is phone & e-mail support.
