This impressive online payroll solution includes everything you need to manage client payroll from anywhere at any time. From paychecks to vacation/sick accruals, to worker’s comp premium calculations, to e-filing and e-paying quarterly payroll taxes, to W-2s, this service offers practically everything a small business needs for payroll. The cost of the service is quite low (between $20 and $39/month depending on the number of employees, states, etc.) and of course it integrates with QuickBooks and QuickBooks Online Edition, so you don't have to enter data twice.
