“We switched to CheckWriters Payroll service in 2010 and couldn't be happier. Our account manager made the transition seamless. We were with Paychex for years and never had a designated account manager and were never offered paperless payroll services. In addition to saving over 35% we now have a point person and most of our payroll processes are paper-free. We have been thrilled with the service; our account manager is knowledgeable, friendly and always available to answer a question. We would recommend CheckWriters and look forward to a long relationship with them.”

“I took over payroll for our company in October of 2006. The payroll company we were with at that time could not offer me the type of product our business needed. In fact, the only help I could receive was in the area of data entry. That is when I decided to make a change and look into working with another payroll company. I met with our sales associate and immediately knew CheckWriters would be the right company for me. Working with CheckWriters employees has been a great experience. There is always someone available when I have a question. I enjoy working with our Payroll Specialist, she is a bright woman who makes sure everything is in order for me. Our general ledger is very detailed with splits in labor distribution allocation. What a huge relief to know that there is always someone there to work with me who actually understands it all. CheckWriters helps me with complex issues, keeps me up-to-date on payroll laws in each state, delivers a 401K census for my companies at the beginning of each year, and is actually the lowest priced payroll company in our area. It was a lucky day for me when their sales manager walked into my door. I now have 6 companies with CheckWriters and I have referred others to them as well. Honestly, I could not ask for a better payroll company. “

I fax my payroll in, there’s a two minute follow-up phone call with my payroll specialist and it’s done. Tax issues, reporting, they make it easy. We are so glad we switched. From the heart, truly!”

“It all began with a phone call in 2002 from the their Sales Manager asking to meet and discuss CheckWriters Payroll….the rest is history as they say. We were with ADP for many years and we were not happy, so the timing was perfect. We love them, all our interactions from day one have been positive. They are all great !!!! The pricing was more than half the cost of ADP, that helped too. Our issues are minimal and results are max. Our recent conversion to their HRCheck Human Resource Module has brought more tremendous results. Most of our Payroll and HR processes are now completely paperless. We recommend them highly to anyone we can. We hope to continue our relationship for many years to come ….
They are the best ……”

“I have been using CheckWriters for about six months, and I've found that their customer service sets them apart from their competition. I always work with the same account representative, and she knows exactly who I am when I call. I don't have to introduce myself to a new person each time I have a question. If I have a strange question or need help with a process, she is always helpful, friendly and never makes me feel like my request is an imposition. I communicate with a lot of vendors during the course of my day, and CheckWriters is at the top of my list for ease of communication. I have enjoyed my current time with them and look forward to a long lasting relationship. I highly recommend their services.”

“Small business owners tend to wear many, many hats: being involved and overseeing day-to-day operations, outreach, customer management, accounting, etc. By using CheckWriters for our payroll needs, I have the peace of mind that, once I submit my figures, I will not have to do anything else -- and the satisfaction of having one thing less on my to do list : ) Their efficiency allows me to focus on other aspects of the business. We sincerely appreciate the responsiveness of our payroll specialist (she rocks!) She's always a phone call or email away if I have any questions. We are very pleased with the value and quality of service that CheckWriters provides. We often recommend CheckWriters' services -- not only to our clients, but also to other businesses, and at chamber of commerce meetings. We look forward to doing business with CheckWriters for years to come. Keep up the good work.”

“Being in business for 30 years and going strong we really need CheckWriters, we only wish we had found them sooner. We heard dozens of stories of their helpfulness and enthusiastic customer service. We need to have a company such as this so we can apply our efforts towards what we do best, quality food and great service. Being with CheckWriters now for four years makes it much easier to do just that. We are pleased to have a company with a high standard to make the rest of our job easier. Our Payroll Specialist is a wonderful person to deal with. Things are explained in such a way that it makes it easy to understand and if there’s ever any doubt, there is always a wonderful team behind her to help and find the correct answer. We appreciate all their patience and hard work and that they will go the extra mile to make sure we have the information we need.”

She is always willing to help me at any time with any questions that I may have and not once has she ever made me feel like I was a bother to her.
