“We have used Guardian Payroll for many years now and payroll is one of the smoothest things at our company. They are fast, knowledgeable, and dependable. Highly recommended!”
“Guardian Payroll has been great to work with. Their team is always responsive, professional, and quick to assist with any questions that come up. We truly appreciate their reliable support and smooth service.”
“I’ve been using Guardian Payroll for over five years now, and I honestly don’t know how we managed before them. Switching to their platform was the best decision we made for our small business. Everything is incredibly user-friendly—running payroll literally takes me less than 10 minutes, even with a mix of salaried employees, hourly workers, and contract employees with multiple rate tables. The tax filings are 100% automated and accurate every single time; we’ve never had a single penalty or late notice.”
We contracted Guardian Payroll this year to manage our nonprofit’s payroll system, and the service has been exceptional. Our organization has a complex structure and a mix of special requests required for setup, and the Guardian team handled everything with precision and care.
The absolute best payroll and HR service that a company could ask for. Not only is the product intuitive and easy to use but the customer service is top notch. Their response time to questions is almost immediate. Also seamless integration with all fringe benefits programs that we have. Open enrollment is always a breeze. I can’t say enough about Guardian and their staff.
We are a mid-size business with 130 employees. If you want a company with true, personal customer service to help with payroll, look no further. Great team with great customer service. We’ve used Paychex and ADP for 30 years until we switched 5 years ago. No comparison..
