Stephanie Siegel's Review Sourced from Google
Communication was horrible or mismanaged. Too many accountants cc'd on e-mails, documents lost within e-mails and last minute change to CPA working on our taxes. Never had this run around filing taxes in my life. I don't normally write reviews but I felt obligated given this experience.

I had a 5-star experience working with Watter CPA. The staff responded quickly to emails and were always courteous and professional. Moreover, they found tax breaks that I surely would have missed had I done the taxes on my own. I recommend them highly!

Accounting Review from Dmitrii Legetskii
This company helped us set up our accounting system from beginning to end. I am a serial entrepreneur with experience working with many different accounting groups and this one has been the most responsive overall. They have helped us with registering the business, putting together payroll, and getting our quarterly tax returns filed. They have been also very helpful with giving personal tax advice. I would recommend them to any other friends and especially other business owners.

I had a great experience working with April Moore and the rest of the team. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. April took the time to explain everything clearly and made the entire process smooth and stress-free, which I really appreciated.
What stood out most was how organized and detail oriented the team was. They made sure all of my questions were answered and helped me feel confident that everything was handled correctly and efficiently. It’s clear they truly care about their clients and the quality of their work.
I highly recommend April Moore and her team to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy accounting support. I’ll definitely continue working with them in the future.

What should I look for when hiring a payroll company in the United States?
When hiring a payroll company in the United States, look for the following attributes to verify its reliability and credibility:
Relevant experience: Seek case studies similar to your business structure and industry
Regulatory knowledge: Verify its understanding of the geographic and industry-specific tax, labor, and payroll regulations regarding your business
Client reviews: Request verifiable client references and reviews to assess service quality and customer satisfaction
Tech stack: Check if the payroll, accounting, and HR solutions can scale and integrate with your system
Clear processes: Assess if it has a structured payroll process, including tax filing, error resolution, and compliance checks
Transparent reporting: Look for clear, accurate, and timely payroll reporting
Reliable support: Ensure access to a dedicated support team, available 24/7 or during extended hours for quick resolution and emergency cases
Up-to-date knowledge: See if its articles, blogs, and other content demonstrate understanding of the latest laws and regulations
Compliance standing: Examine if the US payroll company adheres to IRS and DOL regulations for its own operations and employees, as this reflects its ability to manage your company’s payroll activities
What factors affect the pricing of payroll services in the United States?
The key factors that affect payroll services in the United States include:
Company size: Payroll companies conventionally charge per employee, making bigger team sizes more expensive.
Service scope: Tax filing, benefit administration, and year-end reporting are often considered an add-on to the base fee.
Service frequency: Weekly or bi-weekly payroll schedules require more resources than a monthly schedule, resulting in higher costs.
Compliance requirements: Global, multi-state, and industry-specific regulations (e.g., union rules and healthcare) add to the complexity of payroll computation.
Support and service level: Higher-tier services, such as a dedicated account manager or 24/7 human support teams, have premium fees.
Technology stack: Data migration, system configuration, and employee training usually appear as one-time setup fees.
On average, you can expect to pay a monthly base fee of $50-$80 and an additional $6-$12 per employee per month.
How can I verify the credentials of a United States payroll company?
You can verify the credentials of a United States payroll company by:
Analyzing its use and knowledge of the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System
Checking its Employer Identification Number (EIN) and registration in the Secretary of State
Assessing the company’s IRS and DOL track record
Asking about its PayrollOrg membership and individual team certification (e.g., Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) and Certified Payroll Professional (CPP
Ensuring the company has Certified Public Accountants (CPA) on its team
Seeing if its SOC2, ISO, BBB, and other certifications are up to date
What red flags should I avoid when selecting a payroll company in the United States?
When selecting a payroll company in the United States, avoid the following red flags:
Outdated knowledge on the state and federal labor and tax laws
No proven track record in your industry and business locations, including case studies and client references
Overwhelmingly negative reviews and poor customer service
History of missed filing deadlines, deposit dates, and data inaccuracies
Ambiguous payroll and mid-year onboarding processes
Weak data security practices
Lack of error ownership
Lack of pricing transparency
What questions should I ask a United States payroll company before hiring?
Ask these questions before hiring a United States payroll company to gauge their expertise:
What is your experience in handling multi-state and global employees?
How do you stay up to date with the latest regulatory issues and changes?
Can you provide case studies and client references of businesses similar to ours?
What technologies do you use, and how will you integrate them into my system?
What is your approach to compliance, security, and error resolution?
