Why Payroll Brothers

Big-firm technology. Small-firm loyalty.

Most payroll companies make you choose between software you manage alone or a call center that doesn't know your name. We refuse to make you choose.

A dedicated specialist, not a ticket queue

You get one person who knows your business, your people, and your pay schedule. Call, text, or email — and get an answer from someone who already has context.

Phone trees. Ever.

Compliance, guaranteed

Federal, state, and local payroll taxes calculated, withheld, and filed. If we cause a penalty, we pay it.

Hours back, every week

Clients cut payroll admin from hours to minutes per pay run. Approve, and we handle the rest.

ADP-powered infrastructure

Enterprise-grade processing and security through our partnership with the world's largest payroll provider.

Switching is painless

We migrate your employee data, YTD figures, and tax accounts for you — most switches finish in under two weeks.

“Our clients are just like family.”

It's not a slogan — it's how a family-owned firm survives on referrals for years.

Everything handled

One partner for payroll, people, and taxes

Five services, one team, zero handoffs. Each one designed to remove a specific job from your plate.

Payroll processing

Run payroll in minutes, not afternoons

Salaried, hourly, tipped, commissioned, contractors — we process it all on your schedule. You review a one-page summary, approve, and everyone gets paid on time via direct deposit.

  • Unlimited pay runs — weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly
  • Direct deposit, checks, and pay cards
  • Garnishments, deductions, and multi-state pay handled
  • Employee self-service portal for pay stubs and W-2s

“I've always done payroll myself.” That works — until a rate changes, a state adds a rule, or you take a vacation. We make sure payroll never depends on your Tuesday night.

HR services

An HR department, without the headcount

From offer letters to terminations, get compliant documents, expert guidance, and a system of record for your team — backed by certified HR advisors you can actually call.

  • Onboarding, e-signatures, and new-hire state reporting
  • Custom employee handbooks kept current with law changes
  • PTO tracking and approval workflows
  • On-call HR advisors for the hard conversations

“We're too small for HR.” One mishandled termination or missing I-9 costs more than years of doing it right. We keep small teams protected.

Payroll tax filing

Taxes filed on time, every time — guaranteed

Payroll tax compliance is where DIY payroll goes wrong. We calculate, withhold, deposit, and file every federal, state, and local payroll tax — and we put our name on the accuracy.

  • 941, 940, W-2, W-3, 1099 — prepared and filed for you
  • State withholding and unemployment in all 50 states
  • New-hire reporting and local tax registrations
  • If we cause a penalty, we pay the penalty

“What if the IRS sends a notice?” Forward it to us. We respond to agencies on your behalf — that letter becomes our problem, not yours.

Benefits administration

Offer big-company benefits on a small-business budget

Health, dental, vision, 401(k) — we help you choose plans your budget can carry, then run enrollment and sync every deduction straight into payroll.

  • Plan selection guidance with transparent costs
  • Digital open enrollment employees can finish on a phone
  • Deductions flow into payroll automatically
  • COBRA and compliance notices handled

“Benefits sound expensive.” Losing a good employee to a company with a health plan is more expensive. We'll show you options starting smaller than you think.

Time tracking

Hours flow straight from clock-in to paycheck

Web, mobile, and tablet punch-in with GPS options for field teams. Hours, overtime, and PTO land in payroll automatically — no re-keying, no rounding disputes.

  • Mobile clock-in with geofencing for job sites
  • Automatic overtime and break-rule calculations
  • Manager approvals with exception alerts
  • Syncs to payroll with zero manual entry

“My crew won't use an app.” They tap one button. And you stop chasing paper timesheets on payday morning.

How it works

Switching payroll is easier than running it

Worried a switch means chaos? It's three steps, we do the heavy lifting, and your employees won't miss a paycheck.

01

A 20-minute conversation

Tell us how you pay people today. We'll flag risks, answer questions, and give you a flat, transparent quote on the spot — no obligation.

02

We move everything for you

Employee records, year-to-date wages, tax accounts, direct deposit details — our team migrates it all. Most businesses switch in under two weeks.

03

Your first effortless payday

You approve a one-page summary. We process, deposit, file, and confirm. From then on, payroll takes minutes — and your specialist is a call away.

Client stories

Referred by owners, kept by service

Most of our clients found us through another business owner. Here's why they stay.

I used to lose every other Sunday to payroll. Now I approve it from my phone in about four minutes. When a state notice showed up, they handled the whole thing before I finished reading it.
DR

Danielle Reyes

Owner, Bluebird Café · 14 employees

They caught a misclassified contractor during onboarding that would have cost us five figures. That one catch paid for years of service.
MW

Marcus Webb

Principal, Crestline Builders · 31 employees

I call and a human who knows our account picks up. After two national providers, I didn't think that existed anymore.
DAS

Dr. Anita Shah

Summit Dental Group · 9 employees

The switch took eleven days and my team's paychecks never hiccuped. The benefits setup alone helped us land two hires we'd been chasing.
