A dumpster fire is more effective than trying to have your payroll processed here…read more They have a very rigorous method for setting their payroll system up. They don't care about accommodating to your needs as a business or how your framework has worked for you in the past; they only know how to do things one way (their way) and that's how things are done. Jennifer seems to be their sole "payroll specialist" who seemingly has no clue how the accounting side works and is only set on doing things her way.

I HIGHLY recommend the The Payroll Company!…read more I do not take the time to write many reviews but I'm taking the time to write this one. I've had the pleasure of working with The Payroll Company for the past 12 yrs with two different companies. I've experienced nothing but exceptional hands-on customer support! Fast and courteous service! From the beginning of my experience (Carrie Falk) through to the back-end support, their team has been professional & knowledgeable. I especially appreciate that they take the time to answer my questions and explain everything to my satisfaction without sounding annoyed with my lack of understanding. Truly exceptional support!

If you want problems, this is the firm to hire. They were supposed to file our second quarter…read morepayroll reports, which they claimed they had. They even sent me a copy of the report they had supposedly filed. However, we later discovered they never actually filed it and we were threatened with a tax levy by the State. Subsequent requests for clarification and assistance went unanswered and unresolved. Lack of service and honesty (not good for an accounting firm) caused us to take our business elsewhere.

I would not recommend MBE based on my experience. My wife and I worked primarily with Ryan Reetz…read moreand his managing partner Kim Wegner, and the service fell well below expectations for a paid tax professional. We provided all required tax documents by March. And On 3/22/25, Ryan explicitly told us: "I believe we have everything to complete the return. We will get it finished before you leave." Despite that assurance, our taxes were not filed on time, and communication was extremely poor. After nearly three weeks of silence, we were contacted on 4/12/25 and told there was an issue with a $1,500 IRA contribution. Ryan incorrectly stated it was a Roth IRA contribution when it was, in fact, a traditional IRA rollover -- something later confirmed directly with Fidelity. Because we were already out of the country, which was relayed to Ryan, this delay pushed everything back further. We ultimately didn't receive a valid filing link until 5/6/25, and our return was accepted by the IRS on 5/8/25, well after the deadline -- despite having submitted everything early and receiving written confirmation that the return would be completed on time. The consequences have been significant. We were expecting a sizeable refund, which we were relying on. To date, the IRS is still reviewing the return, and we have received no resolution. Charging the full $895 fee under these circumstances feels unreasonable given the missed deadline, lack of communication, and basic misunderstanding of investment classifications. I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision. If you value timely filing, clear communication, and technical accuracy, I would think twice before trusting MBE.
