Best Payroll Service in 2023 (Paychex vs ADP vs Gusto vs Quickbooks)

★★★ I share my long painful journey of figuring out the best payroll service for my business.
Get a $100 Visa Gift Card with my Gusto Referral link ➡️ thebizbud.co/gusto-payroll
If you're looking at setting up a 401k for your business and you want more hand holding than I would recommend a service like ADP ➡️ thebizbud.co/adp
The reason I say this about ADP is that Gusto is great for self-service and you pay less for that reason but when you need more service to make sure your 401k is running smoothly than you may want to check out a service like ADP.
Thank you for using my referral links because you'll get an extra $100 and a free month of service with Gusto. I'll also benefit from it but I also hope Gusto saves you a lot of frustration that I wish I didn't have to go through. I sincerely appreciate your support.
In this video I compare and share my experiences of using Paychex, ADP, Gusto and QuickBooks to process payroll for my business. It's so important you find a good payroll service that will make doing payroll a breeze for you.
Disclaimer- I am not an attorney or a CPA, just a small business owner who has researched this information thoroughly for my own business.

    Wait, I reached the ADP portion and heard you said, "I haven't personally used it." If you HAVE NOT personally used a software, how can you give HONEST UNBIASED review on it? That's like giving an opinion on starbucks coffee when you've never had it before? *FAcepalm*' Business is like marriage, you gotta try things out and see if it works. No offense, you're a human and I respect you're trying to be successful. This research needs implementation next time. That's how research is most effective, eh?

    I've had a terrible time with Gusto. One can't even click the box to show that we have a retirement plan - one has to wait on their folks to do it. Two years in a row they have filed our W-2s before they were correct even though they were asked not to file yet. Not happy. If you just need really basic payroll and nothing out of the ordinary, then I guess they would be fine.

    Ugh! I'll I'm hearing or seeing, based on the comments that it's still hit or miss with any of these companies. I'm watching this video because I have Gusto and have had HUGE issues. Customer service is AWFUL. They screwed up and late filed a report and I received a penalty for over 2K. Even though they have admitted that they late filed it (they had no choice the labor department said they never got it and they are the ones responsible for filing it since that is what I hired them to do) It's taken almost a year to even begin to get to someone that can start a resolution to this matter. Also the Department of Labor rep that I spoke with told me that this is a repeat problem that they have had with Gusto and they told them that they are not waiving any more fees or penalties from them because they do this so often. They filed an appeal on behalf of my business, but it still looks bad and I'm not even sure if it will be approved. If not, I'll be suing them for the 2k. I can't get away from them fast enough....since this is a habitual problem for them, I don't want to have to go through this nightmare ever again.

They use paycheck flex to have the hours worked transferred it and converted into payroll format and paycheck information through paychexflex.Did you ever find there was a discrepancy in the amount of hours transferred from the work time app to the payflexchex payroll for those hrs per hourly wage format?
