Pros

“They help to resolve my questions quickly, there is never any gap in service, the calls are always clear, I love that it feels like I'm talking to people who know what they're talking about, are willing to troubleshoot, and the calls never seem to be outsourced to people I cannot understand.”

Madison H.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

“Every component of the program worked perfectly for me from invoicing my clients, receiving payments through their online payment program and duplicating my expenses and revenue accounts. ”

Sharman B.

Marketing Director, Publisher

“It streamlines payroll and employee management, saves time, and provides reliable customer support. While there’s room for improvement in interface speed and advanced features, it’s a solid solution for small to mid-sized businesses.”

Spencer S.

Managing Principal and Founder

Pros

“Their customer service team is responsive, and the platform gives employees convenient access to pay information, tax forms, and benefits resources.”

Aide R.

HRG

“The reporting, payroll and training features saves me a lot of time and helps keep everything in one place.”

Elizabeth R.

People and Culture Manager

“I would recommend ADP Comprehensive Services to organizations looking for a combination of payroll processing, HR support, and compliance assistance.”

Cons

“Reporting is fairly basic, and the accounting module doesn't have the depth of features you'd get from dedicated accounting platforms — inventory and more advanced needs aren't really covered.”

Kevin K.

Sales and Technology

“Needing to pull more than onw report to accomplish filing some of these returns is a pain in the butt.”

Lisa O.

Bookkeeper

“Not being able to run bonuses without taxes withheld is our biggest dislike. ”

Terri M.

HR Manager and Project Manager

Cons

“I submit a request and every time, they try to call me without asking/scheduling a time first or they send a "secure" message that is really inconvenient to open.”
