PAYROLL MATE ®

A Different Payroll Solution that Works with QuickBooks™
When it comes to your business , employees are the key ingredient to your success . Without your workforce , your dreams , ideas and creations would never become a reality . Therefore , it is of the utmost importance that you have the correct payroll procedures in place to ensure that you can always take care of them . But what if you can ’ t find a payroll solution that works for your unique business ?
Taking control of your business and understanding your numbers is what all business owners strive for . Keeping costs low for administrative functions so that more capital can be infused into your business is another driving force . Sometimes there are software limitations that cause you to go outside your business for help . With QuickBooks , one of those limitations is that in order to use its payroll function , the internet is a requirement . When limited by internet functionality , business owners are left with two choices ̶ outsourced payroll or manual calculations . Both options can be costly with either additional processing fees or incorrect calculations .

One solution we offer our clients is Payroll Mate , a product by Real Business Solutions .
