Director of Administration

In fact, they are one of our best and most responsive corporate partners and business developers. They are professional and always responsive and available to help.

Payroll Tax Manager

The tax software is also good and very easy to use. Payroll Inspector is very nice in that it will determine the correct local taxes for employees.

Payroll Coordinator

It has definitely gotten better over the years. Very happy with everything now.

The system is customizable and the support team is accessible and eager to help.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Reliable software to Interface with Great Plains.

The ease of maneuvering in and out of the tabs and screens.

On the  Political Subdivision under the employee tab, the drop down is very large.

Accounts Payable Manager

The portal / website is a bit confusing because the steps are not very clear when revisiting the website. I didn't know that some steps did not need updating before completing submission.

Human Resources Director

When calling into customer service, it is difficult to work my way up to an "expert" who can fix an issue that takes more knowledge than the front line person has.

Client Services Manager

The software does not communicate well with our payroll software (Darwin 16).

Greenshades Review

We have over 7000 W-2's that we process, so it is good to have as an information gather. However, we must go over the information closely, for it is incorrect in some ways.

Mid-Size Payroll Service using for Tax Purposes

Great product

The technical supports are great and reachable. Most of the problems are solved within reasonable time. 

Payroll Reporting

Working with this company overall has been a positive experience.  I would recommend the software to small companies however I haven't used a lot of the other products.  

Basic Greenshades use

We have really enjoyed working with Greenshades.  In fact, they are one of our best and most responsive corporate partners and business developers.  They are professional and always responsive and available to help.

A Helpful and Welcome Tool

We are solving Payroll inquiries by no longer having to accept requests for documentation when the employee can access past records by using the portal.  We have elliminted 90% of the time required to administer garnishments.

Reliable software to Interface with Great Plains

Greenshades is a very convenient tool in submitting 1099s to the IRS. Technical support returns my emails / calls whenever I need assistance with a short wait period.

Greenshades in the 21st Century

The main issues I have had with Greenshades is sometimes the payroll inspector will make suggestions that are incorrect. I have to send over the rulings to Greenshades to get them to update the data.

Simply a Great Product

1099 PROCESS NEVER BEEN EASIER 

We have been using Greenshades for a long time and the ease of use along with additional functions have been great.

Good Products

Tax reporting/filing is easier with Greenshades, our employees enjoy being able to view their check and print them themselves.

Greenshades review

Before 1099 NEC form, I would have highly recommended Greenshades but would like to see 1099 NEC also be able to upload to IRS

More glitches than expected but information was accurate and product performed as promised. Integration left much to be desired but price was excellent
