Payroll Matters

Having been self-​employed for my entire 15+ year career, I know virtually nothing about the world of traditional employment. The thought of having to learn to navigate a maze of payroll rules, taxes, forms, etc was discouraging me from hiring my first employee… until I met Scott. He sat down with my business partner and myself a year and a half ago and explained his services, and it gave us the confidence to hire our assistant. We couldn’t make it work without Scott’s help and guidance! He is always responsive, and keeps us in compliance with the absurdly complex employment and payroll tax rules that frankly I don’t have time to learn about. We are very thankful for Scott — highly recommend.

We’ve been using Scott for 2+ years now. He’s been very good to work with and a great wealth of resources. Very nice to work with people who are efficient and easy to deal with. What else to you need

Scott has been a key partner as I’ve built my business. I’ve been working with him for over two years and his service has been top-​notch throughout. Scott knows his industry and all employment regulations extremely well, so anytime I have a question I know he’ll have an answer. I also use Scott as my main go-​to for non-​payroll questions, leveraging knowledge and his network of other professionals (met my current CPA through Scott).
I highly recommend Scott!

I was searching for someone to help me with my payroll and wanted to work with an individual/​small business rather than a larger company. Scott has been wonderful to work with, he’s very attentive and responsive. It’s great to know you have a skilled professional on your side, and Scott is exactly that. Thank you, Scott!

My job pulls me in a million directions at once, and it’s the peace of mind that Scott provides that allows me to focus on my work, and not on payroll. Scott not only knows payroll, but I think he has the entire tax code memorized. I’m not joking. The man is a fountain of information. He’s also responsive, considerate and helpful. Not sure why anyone would chose any other payroll company. Stop here and call Scott immediately!

Scott and Payroll Matters are terrific. When I was starting my business and searching for payroll vendors, some of the larger companies I talked to were very pushy and I felt like they didn’t have my interests at heart and were very expensive. I was delighted when someone recommended Payroll Matters to me. Scott was incredibly helpful walking me through the ins and outs of payroll, including the requirements from EDD. I have been so happy with the level of service that Scott provides and the value. I can’t recommend Payroll Matters highly enough. I have loved working with them small business to small business.

Scott has been great. He knows all the ins and outs of the unnecessarily complex payroll taxes in the city of SF.
He’s more than affordable, and is worth every penny. He’s been extremely helpful with us even after we’ve closed our business. If you are looking for a payroll guy, your search has ended.

We’ve been using Scott at Payroll Matters for over a year now. He has always been professional and timely. I believe they are the best value in San Francisco for payroll services and I would highly recommend them. Even since we have moved to South SF — we still continue to work with Scott.
In addition he has been an invaluable resource in connecting us with associates in other fields, such as, business attorneys, 401K advisors, insurance agents, etc. Every one of his recommendations has been a great fit and they’ve all worked out well (in terms of getting the job done and being cost effective). This has been a great help to us and has served us much better than the constant trial and error you sometimes get when trying to find the right fit for these business services.
If you’re thinking about getting someone to take over your payroll — give Scott a call. His fees are very reasonable, he’s very straight forward about his costs. And I cannot stress how much time and energy you’ll save by handing your payroll over to Scott.

I have worked with ADP and Paychex in the past, done my due diligence in researching other payroll companies, and I swear to you, nothing is easier, better, better-​priced, or faster than working with Scott at Payroll Matters! I highly recommend him. As a small business owner it’s hard to pass things off to people that you don’t trust wholeheartedly, and with Scott I never worry about a thing. He is super responsive, always accurate and on-​time, and takes time to deal with me and the confusing issues that inevitably come up as I try to understand payroll. He’s not trying to oversell me, just trying to help get me what I need to grow and run my business — a breath of fresh air.

Running and managing a business leaves me little time to devote to to payroll. I have turned that over to Scott at Payroll Matters. He is extremely attentive and takes care of all my payroll issues. More importantly, I pay about half of what I would pay at ADP; including delivery cost and W-​2s. I very much appreciated how much time Scott took to get to know my business and provide me with additional strategies and savings.
I highly recommend Payroll Matters.

Payroll Matters was a refreshing change from our last payroll service of 5 years… no more surprise charges and the rates are about half of what Paychex and ADP charge. I just felt better supporting a local business where I can meet and get a hold of the person I’m working with when I need. They offer a full tax service, taking care of everything, including communication with the EDD. Highly recommended!
