Payroll & HR Services

Payroll That's Connected to Your Books. Finally.

Most businesses run payroll and accounting through separate providers that never talk to each other. We do both — through Accounting Freedom and our sister company Payroll Freedom — so your payroll data, tax filings, and financials are always in sync.

Payroll Headaches We Hear About Every Week

Your payroll and books don't match

You're running payroll through one system and bookkeeping through another — and reconciling them is a monthly nightmare.

Payroll tax filings are always stressful

941s, W-2s, state withholding — it's a lot to keep track of, and a missed deadline means penalties you didn't budget for.

You're spending hours on payroll every cycle

Time you could be spending running your business. Payroll should take minutes, not half a day.

HR feels like a legal minefield

Onboarding paperwork, labor posters, time tracking compliance — you know you need it handled correctly, but you're not sure it is.

Payroll Freedom

Payroll Handled by Specialists. Connected to Your Accounting Team.

Payroll Freedom is our sister company — a dedicated payroll and HR operation that runs alongside Accounting Freedom. They're separate entities, but tightly integrated by design. Your Client Advisor at Accounting Freedom and your payroll team at Payroll Freedom work from the same data, communicate directly, and coordinate so nothing falls through the cracks.

That means your payroll entries hit your books correctly every time. Your tax filings are prepared with full context from your financials. And when something changes — a new hire, a raise, a bonus — both sides know about it immediately.

One relationship. Two specialized teams. Zero coordination overhead on your end.

The integrated advantage

Why Having Payroll and Accounting Under One Roof Matters

When your payroll team and your accounting team are separate vendors, things fall through the cracks. When they're coordinated, everything just works.

📒

Books That Actually Match Payroll

Payroll entries are posted to QBO correctly every cycle. No mismatched accounts, no end-of-year cleanup surprises.

📅

Tax Filings With Full Financial Context

Your payroll tax filings are prepared by a team that also knows your books — so nothing is filed in isolation.

💬

One Conversation Instead of Two

Questions that span payroll and accounting don't require calls to two different vendors. Your teams talk to each other so you don't have to.

📈

Labor Cost Visibility in Your Financials

Because payroll feeds directly into your books, your P&L reflects actual labor costs in real time — not at month-end cleanup.

Common questions

Payroll Questions We Hear Often

Do I have to use Payroll Freedom if I'm an Accounting Freedom client? +
No — it's not required. But most clients who use both find the integration valuable enough that they stay. If you're already happy with your current payroll provider, we can work with that. We'll let you know if we think a switch makes sense for your situation.
How does iSolved compare to ADP or Paychex? +
iSolved is a full HCM (Human Capital Management) platform purpose-built for small and mid-size businesses. It offers comparable functionality to ADP and Paychex at a more appropriate scale — without the enterprise pricing or the call-center support experience. Employee self-service, mobile access, and direct QBO integration are all built in.
Can you handle payroll for employees in both Illinois and Wisconsin? +
Yes. We handle multi-state payroll compliance across all 50 states — including state withholding, unemployment insurance, and tax filings wherever your employees are located.
How do we switch from our current payroll provider? +
We handle the transition. We'll collect historical payroll data from your current provider, set up your employees in iSolved, and run a parallel cycle if needed to make sure everything is accurate before we go live. Most transitions take 2–4 weeks.
What size businesses do you run payroll for? +
We run payroll for small businesses from 1 employee up to several dozen. Our sweet spot is 1–50 employees, but we work outside that range regularly. If you're not sure whether we're a fit, just reach out.
