Organization: PCM Associates Ltd. I am able to manage my own payroll from anywhere. I just need my log in. My employees can view their data as well. Also I am able to manage the 401l plans that I advise. Some problems are making updates because both payroll and retirement need to be in sync. If there is an issue the back office team readilly assists.

I set up and manage payroll for several small businesses. Some are owner only, and some have a few employees. Most of them use it to pay themselves regularly while freelancing to benefit credit score, mortgages and loans, and help them budget. Most of the challenges faced by these businesses are inconsistent or sporadic income.
