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.

Mobile App Development Review from Chaminda Marabage
Best experience. GoIGI staff that I'm working with ( Sudip and Payel's team ) are very friendly , professional and knowledgeable on every aspect of how to design your project. I worked with them for one small project and it's been completed with full of our satisfaction. Now we are working on another big project which includes seo , marketing and app development. I wish them all the best. Keep up the good work GoIGI.

Hawa Bah's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had an amazing experience working with Stellar Staff, especially with my VA, Argen. She has been an incredible asset to my business—organized, dependable, and always willing to go above and beyond.What stood out the most was her support while I was on maternity leave. She helped manage client communications, kept projects moving, and made sure everything continued running smoothly. Having someone I could truly rely on during that time gave me so much peace of mind.Argen is proactive, detail-oriented, a fast learner, and genuinely cares about the success of the businesses she supports. I highly recommend Stellar Staff to anyone looking for a reliable virtual assistant agency. I’m so grateful for their support and look forward to continuing to work with them!
Lag Beauty's Review Sourced from Google

Looking forward to continue growing and building together. 100/10! ✨🫶🏽 Amazing company.

Princess's Review Sourced from Google
I wanted to take a moment to share my experience going through the hiring process here, because it genuinely blew me away. We’ve all been through frustrating interview cycles, but this was the exact opposite. From day one, the entire process was incredibly smooth and stress-free.What really made an impression on me was how professional, kind, and down-to-earth the team was. During my interviews, it didn't feel like a rigid interrogation; instead, it felt like a great, two-way conversation. They genuinely cared about my career goals and took the time to answer all of my questions.Communication was amazing, too. I was never left hanging or wondering what the next steps were, which I appreciated so much. Walking away from the process, I just felt valued as a person, not just a resume. I am so excited to be joining such a thoughtful and professional team!

Frequently Asked Questions
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:
- Examining its CPEO standing under the IRS public listing
- 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?
