I recently had the pleasure of working with Accountant on Air , and I couldn’t be more impressed with their services. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive to my needs. They took the time to thoroughly understand my financial situation and provided tailored solutions that exceeded my expectations.
The accountants are highly knowledgeable and detail-oriented, ensuring that nothing is overlooked. Whether it was tax preparation, bookkeeping, or financial planning, they handled every task with efficiency and precision. I also appreciated their clear communication—they explained complex financial matters in a way that was easy to understand, which helped me make better-informed decisions.
Their commitment to deadlines and accuracy was evident throughout the process, giving me peace of mind that my finances were in capable hands. The transparent pricing and lack of hidden fees were also a huge plus.
I highly recommend Accountant on Air to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and personable accounting services. They have earned my trust, and I will definitely return for future financial needs!

Holly has been a great help recently both in terms of my business and personal affairs. I am in the process of making some business structure changes in my private dental practice and she has assisted me with all the lengthy paperwork, ensuring that everything is in order. In addition, she has assisted me in researching properties and locations. I would not hesitate in recommending her services as her support has been invaluable to me at this extremely busy time and has allowed me to focus on my patients.

Terri has been an incredible SmartPA assistant for our family over the past 18 months. Her support has been invaluable in managing our busy work and home administrative tasks. Throughout our travels across Europe, the US, and Canada, as well as during our recent move to a new house and country, Terri has been there for us every step of the way. In particular, I have appreciated that Terri has used great judgment in assessing options on all fronts and hasn't just gone for the easy road of blindly following orders. I have trusted her as a "second me" and that has been so helpful. We couldn't have done any of this without her!

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?
