Simplify Your Payroll: Pay Your People Right From FreshBooks

Running payroll for your business is hard enough. Switching back and forth between multiple systems makes it that much more difficult.

Having disconnected systems is time-consuming, whether you’re trying to pay (or file) payroll taxes and stay up to date on compliance, pay your employees and contractors, view payroll expenses, or simply get a complete picture of your business finances.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a single platform for all your billing, accounting, and payroll needs?
