The Benefit of Payroll Services Ask any small business owner: Processing payroll is a tedious and time consuming process.from determining wages and withholding to vacation and sick-time pay, deducting employee-contributed payments for benefits, garnishing wages and sending two separate checks.

When it gets too complicated, many choose to use an outside payroll service. Industry-wide, the average cost in 2010 was $3.00 per check, which makes it the right choice to relieve the small business owner from the burden of figuring it all out.

Testimonials

	“We shopped around for payroll service companies when we started our business and SBF was an easy choice for us.  The other big payroll companies didn’t want to assist us with obtaining federal and state identification numbers and had a lot of additional forms and contracts to fill out.  SBF obtained ID numbers for us, completed all of the forms to get our payroll set up, and there was no contract to sign.  They have been a delight to work with ever since!”  — Sean Chung, Vice President, Bill’s Bus
	“We had been using ADP to process our payroll for over 12 years when we discovered SBF.  We weren’t necessarily unhappy with ADP but didn’t realize there was a local alternative.  After we switched to SBF we realized a savings of over 40% on our payroll fees and happily said goodbye to the frequent errors we were encountering in the past.  Definitely a great decision to go with SBF; we are just bummed we didn’t make the switch sooner.” — Wayne Trella and Steve Hovdesven, Owners, Santa Barbara Brewing Company
	“Our medical group has roughly 40 employees, and our payroll is complex with multiple pre- and post-tax deductions.  SBF has been processing our payroll since 2004 and always gets it right.  They have been a major improvement over our previous payroll company.   It’s reassuring to work with a company you can trust to do things accurately.  Their customer service is great and they are always available to answer questions.  I recommend them without any reservations.”  — Dr. John Keating, Managing Director of Anesthesia Medical Group of Santa Barbara
