Web Development Review from Debbie McClellan
I was so happy with my website and Marketing Goigi did for me. They took my art work and made it look like I hired a big advertising company. They went beyond what I expected. They stayed right on top of everything tell it was done. I recommend them to any company that wants a professional looking website for half the price other companies charge.

Unlike a traditional freelancer platform, where you must search through hundreds of profiles, Zedtreeo is different. They provided us with a pre-selected short list and these candidates had already been tested. This saved us hours that it would have taken and made the decision easier.

We've been working with Media Services and Framework Financials for almost all of our production payroll for the past three years. We found them through Framework and couldn't be happier. We tend to get last minute jobs and our MS contacts always go out of their way get us set up and WC covered asap for our shoots. They're quick, attentive, honest, helpful, and come highly recommended by our accounting firm, which itself is high praise.

Incompetent and negligent. Their employees will get back to you at their own discretion and will find any way to try to put any wrongdoing or mistakes back on the client or yourself. They have cut corners with my own payroll that I've had to correct after multiple discussions and confirmations on the very subject. That after having to fight for nearly 2 months to even get the correct timecards posted and onboarding paperwork approved. An absolute joke of a company. Use anyone else, for your own, and for your employees sake.

Matthew Stack's Review Sourced from Google
So I've used a ton of different accountants over the years to do my crypto bookkeeping. None of them did a good job. In fact, the accounting firm I used on the previous return made a mistake that costed me a ton in penalties. That firm was also charging me $300/hr for what was clearly outsourced help that barely understood crypto. I never realized how much more costly hiring the wrong accountant was. So most of these places will pick 1 crypto accounting software and stick to that. The issue is that if you use any new blockchains, it might take the software company a while to write the code to parse the new blockchain. So the nice part about working with Justin is he would build scripts to handle those cases. Other accountant places would do it manually and just rack up billable hours. Justin was very thorough and diligent. My dataset is pretty complex and he navigated it very well.

Nicholas Joly's Review Sourced from Google
Let me start by saying that I have spoken to many accountants and many of them did not have the knowledge to assist me. I did some extensive research and came across Founder's CPA . Honestly, they are the gold standard when it comes to crypto taxes and preparation. I was so worried because I had a lot of transactions from different exchange platforms to the point it gave me a headache. I first had a consultation with Curt and Justin. I immediately knew they were the ones to help because they were able to answer every question and concern I had. Justin was incredible every step of the way. He was responsive to emails and questions and made me feel like an individual and not just another random client of theirs. They provide great service and their turnaround time is fast yet efficient. I can't say enough about this company. They were really accommodating and made sure that I understood everything which was a huge plus for a new crypto investor.

As someone that needed a deep dive on his crypto taxes, Curt and Justin helped me out immensely.
Helping me build out systems and processes for my taxes, Founder's CPA professionalism and excellent communication allowed me to feel at ease during a very stressful and uncertain time of filing for me.
Huge thanks to these guys and the company for the work they do, will definitely be coming back in the future for more filings with these folks!

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?
