Here Is What Our Customers Have to Say

inverted commas CheckMark Payroll Software

Using CheckMark Payroll for decades...

I have used your payroll software exclusively for decades. I do NOT have an accountant and have used your software flawlessly. I only called for support once when I accidentally changed an employee's SSA entry in 2022 and the 941 report was inaccurate. A tech quickly identified what I did and we changed it. (I believe that it has been over 30 years and it ran on my little Mac.)

Helps me run payroll in minutes...

CheckMark enables me to do payroll in minutes rather than hours. I was figuring out everything for our small payroll by hand until we started using CheckMark. CheckMark also helps me make sure that I stay up-to-date with changes in laws at both the federal and state levels. Thank you for being a reasonably priced tool that really makes my life easier.
