Client Testimonials

Here's what some of our happiest clients have to say about life in Payroll Country!

Arden Neubauer

Hunt Hollow Ski Club

My questions and concerns are addressed in a VERY timely manner and I never feel that I have to handle sticky issues alone.

I have been impressed by Lacy and the team's responsiveness, accuracy, and high level of providing client satisfaction.

Carol Grover

Keuka College

They have gone above and beyond. Complete Payroll is a trusted partner, a valued resource, and a respected adviser.

I was a novice to payroll so my learning curve was big. Andrea is wonderful helping me navigate payroll.

We were referred to Complete Payroll years ago by a board member and haven't looked back since. When I first started working with them, I knew nothing about payroll. My first rep Lacey, and now JoAnn, are great to work with. Working with Complete Payroll has just been a wonderful all-around experience for me.

Cathy Schuth

Hilton Health Care PC

We very much appreciate the quick service. If I need a special report it arrives via email within one business day, if not that day.

Christina Wagar

Dr. Christopher Mozrall

Complete Payroll is a great payroll company, and we love Lacey! She always has the answers to my questions without hesitation. There is very little (if any) wait time to get a call back.

Colleen Koll

Shear Ego Salon & Spa

The first suggestion I made after I joined Shear Ego was that if they were not yet using Complete Payroll, they should be. We continue to be impressed and happy with the quality and friendliness of service, and the excellent newsletters and up-to-date information on all things payroll and HR.

Debbie Klymkow

Boulevard Van City

We moved to Complete Payroll about 3 years ago. It was seamless and working with Lacy on Mondays is a breeze.

Diane Romano

ROMOLD Inc.

People do business with people, not with corporations. In over 20 years, we have only had two customer service reps. Instead of feeling like we are one of 10,000, CP makes us feel like family! We count on Lindsay getting it right, and she always does. Even when we go outside the box, all is as we expect it!

Dick Eakins

Norco Farms

Complete Payroll fits my budget, I never get bounced around between customer service reps, and it's very easy to enter my payroll. I simply take a photo of my payroll sheet and email it to my rep. There's never a problem! With them, it's business done, and business done right.

Don Cunningham

Town of Bergen NY

Comprehensive reporting gives all the details needed and an organization can operate with peace of mind knowing that payroll is taken care of.

Eileen Reeves

Catholic Charities

After nearly 10 years, we are receiving the same or better service than when we started. The ability to reach our dedicated customer service representative in a timely manner is huge when there are deadlines in play. Requests for unique reports and integration with our other vendors has been handled without hesitation. We truly feel a partnership with Complete Payroll.

Elmira Dewes

Elite Roasters

I am very happy with your service and your website is easy to use. Employees are so responsive and ready to help with any questions. Andrea responds quickly to email, Tracy did everything from the beginning to get us started understanding and entering payroll, and Sydney's training was just super helpful.

Emily Wyse

Wyse Properties

I just love Lindsay! She does an awesome job! She is very responsive and I like that she teaches me how to find things rather than just doing it for me.

When our business began in 2005 I knew right away which payroll company we would use. I have had exactly 2 payroll specialists since then, and I feel like they know me & our company. I am not shy to ask questions & if they don't know the answer I am always pointed in the right direction. I have every confidence in my payroll specialist, Lindsay and the company she is with!

Gwen Jones

Mack's Body Shop, Inc.

They are helpful, courteous, and always there whenever I needed help. I look forward to working with Complete Payroll for many years to come!

Howard Clarke

H Clarke Services

We have been with Complete Payroll for quite awhile now and plan on staying. Thanks!

Jeff Allen

Crossroads House

Whenever we have payroll documentation needs arise for our employees, Complete Payroll always gets the job done quickly and efficiently. 

We have received excellent and attentive service for over 10 years now. We have come to rely on Complete Payroll's consistency and very low turnover. We appreciate the chance to know our rep and they get to know us and our needs as a business. If we have payroll or general HR questions, Complete Payroll has the answers for us.

Joanna Bates

Inn at Houghton Creek

Great customer service combined with a reduction in processing fees made the decision to stay with Complete Payroll an easy one. Our customer service representative, Kendall, always gets back to us quickly, and she is always very helpful and friendly. Also, the training that we received from LeeAnn was thorough and beneficial.

John Worth

Town Of Pembroke

We have been well served by Complete Payroll. When we have needed support, it was given both in payroll and other employee matters, like handbooks.

Judy Mcdonald

Antonucci Law Firm

It has been great working with everyone from Complete payroll. Everyone through the years have always been great. They take your phone calls every time, and always go above and beyond what you need. We have been customers for years and will continue for years.

We have been using Complete Payroll for over five years and have found them to be responsive, professional, friendly, and cost effective. Complete Payroll is a payroll partner, not just a payroll service.

Linda Moore

Tiffany Transportation Services LTD.

I have worked with many payroll companies throughout my career and Complete Payroll surpasses them all in personalized service. My CSR is Andrea and I have always received assistance in a timely manner. Keep up the great job!

Complete Payroll is the best choice that I have made for our payroll and HR services. I would recommend them to anybody!

Nancy Woolver

Financial Service Company

What I love most about Complete Payroll is the quick resolution and response. My rep is fantastic to work with, and I refer Complete Payroll whenever I can!

I've been very pleased with the service and responsiveness of my CSR, and CP's continued dedication to provide us with all the tools we need to have a successful payroll and HR experience. You are always available when I have a question and always make sure that any problems that arise are worked through to my satisfaction.

Paul Martin

Elite Armed Response Service, LLC

I can not fully express my satisfaction with Complete Payroll's personalized service, directed to my specific business needs. They are always there to make suggestions on how to make my experience better. I highly recommend Complete Payroll to anyone that has a business, large or small. You will not be disappointed!

Shane Gustafson

A Gust of Sun Winery

Complete Payroll has, by far, been the easiest and friendliest company we have ever worked with. They are quick to respond to any questions I am having, and they also have a great pricing structure.

The attention to detail in the customer experience and the consistent friendliness of the Complete Payroll team really make the difference. Liz, Mona, LeeAnne, Brandi, and Lacy have all been great to work with.

Sue Horn

Brian Horn's Auto Repair, Inc.

Complete Payroll's service, loyalty, and family atmosphere is second to none! We NEVER have any mistakes, and payroll is always on time. When I have a "Brain Fart" and forget to call in payroll, my rep Lindsey has my back. Our company will always be with Complete Payroll, and I recommend them to anyone who asks. They get an A++ rating in our book!

We couldn't be happier with Complete Payroll's service. Prompt and professional, every concern or question is addressed immediately. Our rep Lacy is an absolute pleasure to deal with. We have every intention to continue our working relationship with them for years to come. It is a load off to know that this part of our business is "worry free."

Teresa Bullock

Sorge's Restaurant

We chose Complete Payroll because we get personalized attention for a great price. I always get my questions answered by a competent, patient person who make me feel like a person not an account! My girl Lacy is great!

Teresa Jackson

Dudley Poultry

Software is easy to use but, more importantly, Cindy is an email away and her knowledgeable, efficient, and quick to replies to our questions are appreciated. 

Tina Canali

Chemung County SPCA

Complete Payroll is always there if we have a problem or need something special! Their response time is AWESOME!

My CSR, Andi, is the bomb! She's always friendly makes me feel like she has carved time out for ME. The personal touch means so much!

Elvira Aletta

Everyone I talk to at CP is friendly and tries to help. If they don't have a ready answer, that's OK. They take the time to find one. Website is user friendly, too. The actual operation of payroll is dependable and reliable.

The service that we have received has been EXCELLENT! When I stepped into the payroll position I had many questions and had to call our support person Lindsay Ezard and I can't say enough about her patience and support that she provided me. You are lucky to have her on your team! Over the year we have had different situations that have come up and everyone that I have had contact with is professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I have received many calls from your competitors wanting to talk to us but I tell them I am very happy with our service!

We are an accounting firm and do not advise our clients on HR issues. You provide a wealth of TIMELY information in this area which I direct them to. You make my job so much easier!!
