Taxes were accounted for in the payroll as well. Can easily track hours and access records. > > **Cons**: There is a heafty annual cost for full accessibility of all the features. I found that the inteface was not so user friendly though. > > It worked excellent with payroll management. It allows for complex tax brackets and calculations. I would hughly recommend for someone who is looking for an easy payroll management software. ----- ### "Helpful Payroll Tool, But Customer Support Could Improve" — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *May 22, 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuickBooks Payroll makes payroll much easier to manage in one place. I like that it keeps employee pay, deductions, tax information, pay stubs, and business records organized. The system is fairly straightforward once it is set up, and it helps save time compared to trying to manage payroll manually. > > **Cons**: Customer support could be better, especially when dealing with specific issues or account questions. Some bugs or setup issues can take longer than expected to resolve, and at times it can feel difficult to get clear answers quickly. The pricing can also feel a bit high for smaller businesses. > > Overall, QuickBooks Payroll has been helpful for managing payroll, pay stubs, taxes, and employee records. It adds value by keeping business management and payroll tasks organized in one system, which is important when running a business. Security and banking features are also helpful, especially when handling sensitive employee and payment information. That said, the experience is not perfect. There can be occasional bugs, delays, or confusion when trying to fix issues, and customer support is one area that could be improved. For the money, it is useful, but small business owners need reliable support when payroll or banking matters are involved. ----- ### "Quickbooks Payroll the best for Small,Medium Company" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *February 13, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is friendly user accounting software.
