Payroll and HR platform built for small businesses. Handles paychecks, tax filings, benefits, onboarding, and compliance. Automatic federal, state, and local tax calculations with a tax accuracy guarantee. Base: $40/month + $6/employee/month. No free tier.
A STOA consultant can help you evaluate these tools based on your specific business needs and walk you through implementation.
Talk to STOAGusto is a great fit if you run a small business and want payroll, taxes, and basic HR all in one place without hiring an accountant just to handle paychecks. The automatic tax filing and accuracy guarantee save you real time and stress, especially if you have employees in multiple states. The cost adds up fast — a team of 10 runs you $100/month minimum — so it's worth comparing to simpler options if you only need basic payroll.
