In this episode, Cadie Gaut enlightens us on the importance and benefits of outsourcing your company’s payroll services. She and Karen walk us through what to look for in a reputable payroll processing service, what questions to ask them, and how to get the most out of a payroll company once you have hired the one that fits your needs. Processing payroll is a necessity in running a business, not to mention you need to be compliant with federal, state, county, and city laws. Payroll processing doesn’t generate revenue, and it can cost you the valuable time you need to spend on working on your business by putting out new job bids, producing new products or services, and collecting those past due invoices. So, grab your favorite beverage and join the Cheers ladies as they give you a roadmap for streamlining and strengthening your business by helping you find your “best fit” payroll provider.
