Ultimately,it’saboutloweringthecostandincreasingthe accuracyofthemonthlyreconciliationandconsolidation processandfindingbillingdiscrepancies.Themajor benefitsoftheBillingSuitearefour-fold:

Do yourself a favor and give them a call!
Donna Hahn - We have been using GetPayroll for over three years and love their service! Everyone at the company is knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and always gets you an answer to even the simplest questions. They take care of all government taxes, employee posters, filings, and reporting. Their reports are easy to read and very helpful in managing our payroll expenses.
Our company employs both 1099 and W-2 employees, and the process for both is so easy! They give you all the services of other bigger competitors at a fraction of the costs, and they even integrate with our time management system to streamline the process even further! Great company to work with, and we will be here for a long time!!!

Passionate Leader
Hard work and long hours come naturally to Sandra, having spent her childhood waking every morning before dawn to milk cows on her family's Nebraska farm. That experience prepared her well for the life of an entrepreneur, and she opened her first business, a mortgage credit reporting company, in 1989.
Ten years later, increasing demand from clients for background checks led her to expand into the background screening world. In 2010 she expanded again, adding the subsidiary 4506- Transcripts.com to meet the need for banks and financial institutions to verify income for borrowers through the Internal Revenue Service. She attributes her success to remaining true to her core commitment offering high-quality, personalized, efficient customer service while continually adopting new technologies to meet clients' needs.
A passionate advocate for entrepreneurship, Sandra shares her expertise with other women business owners through WBENC. She previously served on the WBENC Board and has been an active member of the Board of Directors of WBEC-Pacific for over a decade.
