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!

The team at The Apptitude did a wonderful job of understanding my requirements and delivering the best results possible. From the initial consultation phase of my project to the final phases and optimization, the team showed utmost professionalism and expertise. The initial UI/UX turned out to be beautiful, seamless, and user-centric, as I had in mind. The team’s dedication, support, and skills is top-notch and their communication is cooperative and timely.

Mobile App Development Review from Julian Hayes
Super happy with the final product, though we had a few back-and-forths on design details. The team was patient and nailed it in the end. They partnered with us. Gave honest feedback and suggested features we hadn’t thought of. Felt like having in-house devs without the overhead.

De TheBrat's Review Sourced from Google
We were introduced to KDG back in October 2024. They were recommended by a sister company of ours. Our goal was to transition from multiple programs to one program to help streamline and automate as many processes as possible. In order to accomplish this, we needed a company like KDG to help with the customization of the program to accommodate the different needs of the different roles within our organization. They've spent so much time with us, starting with each employee to understand what they need - They've truly been a partner. I would recommend KDG to ANYONE wanting to transition into a simplified system where efficiency and transparency is key.

The entire KDG team is truly exceptional. From start to finish, they made what could have been an overwhelming website upgrade experience seamless. Their guidance, responsiveness, and professionalism truly set them apart. We’ve relied on KDG for all of our website needs, and they consistently deliver. Their communication is clear, prompt, and thoughtful, and it’s clear they’re genuinely invested in our success. Everyone we’ve worked with has been not only highly professional, but also a real pleasure to collaborate with.

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?
