## Reviews

### "Super Reliable- not reliant on Internet\!\!" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *20 November 2018* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that you can pull up tax and/or payroll documents without being on the internet, by just using what is stored on the program\!
> 
> **Cons**: That it has SO many features I don't think we are using all of them to the best of thier use\!

### "This one is the Best Payroll Program I've Ever Used. (period)" — 5.0/5

> **Dr Wes** | *4 April 2017* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Everything is great\!
> 
> **Cons**: No Cons
> 
> I used Quick payroll for many years until they got crazy complicated and expensive.&#13;&#10;The search for a new simplistic and easy program got me to Payroll Mate 5 years ago.&#13;&#10;Installed it, set up my company, put in my state and fed info and the info for each employee.&#13;&#10;BANG started writing checks.  I eliminated payroll company fees, fees for my accountant and book keeper, inaccuracies, and I was able to go in and edit check and employee info and numbers as necessary. It keeps track of not only payroll but vacation time, bonuses, insurance reimbursements, and  gives easy to call up summaries of payroll for individuals, and for the company, and quarterly and year end stuff for the accountant. Bang-what a concept\!&#13;&#10;Simple, easy, complete, cost saving, and they have great customer service, and on the phone help. No tech support where everything you ask is repeated several times before you get an answer that takes an hour and doesn't solve your problem\!  &#13;&#10;So don't get angry cause you are frustrated with things in your life that aren't working and take it out on your software. Pay attention to the tutorial, and if you get stuck, stay calm, call the company and they will get you going with a smile.  Have a great year\!

### "10 year user" — 2.0/5

> **James** | *18 January 2022* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cost and easy to use.  First time payroll service provider.
> 
> **Cons**: I asked to increase the font size on the MICR checks. Employee couldn't with phone app. They told me they would refund my money and go elsewhere.  I just asked them to increase the font. Would not recommend. They won't even respond to my inquiries now. Not professional all.
> 
> Was good until I asked for assistance with an issue.

### "great software.  practical to use. I would like to see added feautures "Departments" and self mailer" — 4.0/5

> **Alvaro** | *19 September 2017* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: PRACTICAL . easy to use... user friendly,, simple interface, looks friendly on the eye,, easy to backup
> 
> **Cons**: limited in robust features;&#13;&#10;I am a CPA office providing service to many clients\&gt; some of them are restaurants with multiple locations. I need to have the ability to print reports by DEPARTMENT; also, I would like to professionalize my service and add a "self mailer machine" to my process. This means that I need to be able to custom format the printing in order to print checks in this machine
> 
> I am able to offer payroll service

### "So Easy and Straightforward" — 5.0/5

> **Alyssa** | *4 February 2020* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is super easy to use. I am not a tax specialist or an accountant, and I got this thing set up and ready to go in an hour. I run a martial arts school and needed an inexpensive and easy way to make sure my employees got their W-2s and my 941 and 940 taxes were all in order . I hand write all the checks from my banks check book and literally just use the software and print statements for employees when they need them. Nothing complicated about it at all.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing really. I do my accounting in quickbooks, so  the fact they won't talk to eachother is a little frustrating, but not really anything to complain about.
> 
> Because individual packages for what you need, I wasn't forced into services I dont need and can make work on my own. That was really wonderful.&#10;&#10;We are a simple company https://www.fitandkick.com/
