We make payroll personal

We take a hands-on approach to get to know our clients and understand their payroll needs. This means taking the time to learn about how our clients operate their businesses and what might make their payroll needs different than others. Simply put, we make it our job to learn and adapt to our customers, not the other way around.

We are experienced and dependable

Let’s face it, employees expect to be paid correctly and on-time every pay cycle. Likewise, the IRS and state tax authorities demand the same, so it’s critical that you choose a payroll company that you can rely on every payroll. With over 20 years of experience and millions of payments processed, you can count on CheckWise.
