Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Tampa, FL

Pay Plus, LLC calls itself a neighborhood payroll provider. The firm is based in the Westchase area of Tampa and works with employers across the Tampa Bay region. Most of its clients are small and medium-sized businesses, but it also serves individuals. Payroll is its core service. Around it, the firm offers accounting, tax, financial planning and insurance, so a business can handle several back-office needs through one office instead of hiring separate vendors for each.

Payroll Services

Pay Plus doesn't sell one fixed package. Employers pick from several service levels and combine them into a payroll plan that suits how they want to run things. The firm's payroll offerings include:

• Customizable payroll plans built around each employer
• Self-service options for companies that want to enter payroll themselves
• Paperless payroll processing
• Real-time access through a web-based payroll application
• Compliance support so clients keep up with changing federal and state rules

Clients can run and review payroll online at any hour and from any location. The system produces a range of reports on demand. Payroll data can be exported to QuickBooks, Peachtree and ATX, which is useful for businesses that already do their bookkeeping in one of those programs. The firm also says it helps clients stay current on new legislation and on wider business conditions, not just on processing each pay run.

How the Firm Works With Clients

Pay Plus puts a lot of weight on personal contact. Callers reach real staff members, not an automated phone menu or an answering service, and the firm says it aims to respond quickly to client requests. Prospective clients can ask for a free payroll quote and meet with the team to go over the setup their company needs. The firm also says it keeps client information confidential and follows strict professional and ethical standards.

Accounting, Tax, Financial and Insurance Services

Pay Plus provides a number of services beyond payroll. Some of them are delivered through legally separate business entities. On the accounting and tax side, it offers bookkeeping, QuickBooks setup and training, tax preparation, tax planning and help with resolving tax problems. Its financial services include retirement planning, 401(k) and IRA planning, asset management, estate planning and college savings planning.

For insurance, it offers group health, workers' compensation, professional and general liability, commercial property, auto, and life and disability coverage, with both individual and group options.

The firm says it works with employee groups of almost any size, from two people up to around two thousand, in all industries. For individuals and families, it reviews the whole financial picture and builds a plan around each household's goals. Buyers in the Tampa Bay area who want payroll handled alongside bookkeeping, taxes, benefits and insurance by one local firm may find this combined approach a good fit.
