Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Myrtle Beach, SC

AccuChex Payroll Services is an independent payroll provider based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It takes on the administrative and accounting side of employee pay so that owners and managers can concentrate on their core operations. The firm reports more than three decades in business. Although it is rooted on the Grand Strand, it now supports employers in 26 states.

It sets no minimum or maximum headcount, and its clients range from a single worker to organizations with well over a thousand employees.

• Recurring payroll processing for each pay period
• Calculation, electronic deposit and filing of federal and state payroll taxes, including unemployment returns and W-2 submission to the Social Security Administration

How Clients Work With AccuChex

Employers can choose how they submit pay data. Some enter and release payroll themselves through a secure web platform. Others prefer to send hours by phone, fax or email and let AccuChex staff handle the processing.

Clients who use the online platform can pull from a library of more than 120 reports, and the team will build a custom report on request. Clients who submit data offline automatically receive a set of four standard reports every pay cycle. AccuChex also coordinates with outside accountants.

It can give a client's CPA reporting-only access to the account, and it notes that many accounting firms refer their clients to the company.

For businesses that want to eliminate paper checks, the firm offers two routes for staff who have no bank account. It can set up an on-site visit from a bank representative to help those workers open checking accounts. Alternatively, it can issue a Visa pay card that is funded automatically each payday and works for ATM withdrawals or everyday purchases.

What Distinguishes the Firm

AccuChex emphasizes direct human contact. A staff member, not an automated menu, answers incoming calls. Its payroll specialists get to know individual accounts, and it does not issue ticket or case numbers. Clients are not bound by long-term contracts. If an employer decides to leave, the company supplies the reports needed for the transition.

When AccuChex handles both the processing and the tax payments, it accepts responsibility for penalties caused by its own tax reporting mistakes. Businesses moving from another provider receive hands-on help with the conversion, and prospects can request a product demonstration in person, with staff willing to travel to them.

Client feedback on its site comes from a lighting business, a veterinary hospital, a construction company, a prosthetics and orthotics practice in Conway, a retail boutique and a corporate HR department that previously used ADP and PeopleSoft. This mix points to a broad base of small and mid-size employers along the South Carolina coast and beyond.
