ZenPayroll is night and day with all other payroll services. They really remove the need for an accountant at all. The software and support are both superb.

Particularly for a small California business, there is no reasonable alternative I have seen, unless you feel like you have to go with one of the dinosaurs like ADP or Paychex.

I blog and Tweet about ZP somewhat frequently because it's been so refreshing: http://andrewljohnson.com/article/how-to-manage-a-micro-busi...

Curious to know why someone would have to go with ADP or Paychex. I've used one of those before. Painful.

We had to go with Paychex because we have some remote employees in states ZenPayroll isn't available in.

Pretty sure they do all states now. I don't work for them, but I'm definitely a fan.

Once you need to run a global payroll to employees around the world, you have very few options. I'd love to see ZenPayroll scale to that level.

ZenPayroll only seems to handle a part of the overall HR equation. I wonder what ZenPayroll users do for the other parts like healthcare, 401K, etc? It is not completely clear to me either how well ZenPayroll handles things like unemployment insurance and workers compensation. The filings for these can get very tedious - especially if your startup has employees in multiple states. Can anyone compare ZenPayroll to a PEO solution like Trinet?

Hmmm ... from the features section: https://zenpayroll.com/#features "Administer medical insurance, HSA, FSA, IRA, 401(k) and other pre-tax benefits through our integrated benefit partners." and "We help you set up a workers' compensation insurance plan that works best for you."

I'm sure you could also contact them for more information ...

No problem with Intuit's payroll system. How does this compare?

Same question here. Signed up for intuit since 2009 through bank of america; happy since.

ZenPayroll is just awesome sauce all over. We're ZenPayroll customers and love it. I've used other payroll services from the big incumbents... awful. When you use ZenPayroll, you kind of want to find someone from their team and hug them.

We use ZenPayroll (at Sourcegraph) and love it. It has been super easy. Congrats!

ZenPayroll rocks. Grow to more states faster guys, we have a distributed team :)

went through YC with these guys and I'm also a customer. I can attest to their awesomeness personally and as a company. Congrats and good luck!
