ADP is a large payroll provider with many features, but not every small business needs an enterprise-style payroll experience. Some business owners want simpler pricing, easier support, and better coordination between payroll and bookkeeping. RemoteBooksOnline gives small businesses a payroll option that works closely with their financial reporting. Instead of managing payroll separately from bookkeeping, your payroll expenses, payroll taxes, liabilities, and reports can be aligned with your books. For businesses already using RemoteBooksOnline bookkeeping, switching payroll from ADP can reduce vendor handoffs and make month-end reporting easier to manage.

Switching from ADP Does Not Have to Be Complicated
Many business owners stay with a payroll provider because they assume switching will be difficult. RemoteBooksOnline can help review your current payroll setup and plan the transition. The process usually starts with understanding your employee count, pay schedule, payroll states, tax setup, and prior payroll records.
Review Your Current ADP Setup
We review your employee count, pay frequency, payroll states, tax setup, and year-to-date payroll information.
Prepare Your Payroll Quote
We prepare pricing based on your payroll size, number of states, and service needs.
Collect Payroll Information
We help identify the employee, tax, bank, and prior payroll information needed for setup.
Plan the Payroll Transition

Align Payroll with Bookkeeping
Payroll reports can be coordinated with your bookkeeping so wages, taxes, and liabilities are reflected properly.
Why RBO Payroll Works Well for Existing Bookkeeping Clients
If RemoteBooksOnline already handles your bookkeeping, payroll becomes a natural add-on. Your payroll expenses, employer taxes, reimbursements, contractor payments, and payroll liabilities all affect your financial reports. When payroll and bookkeeping are managed separately, month-end cleanup can take longer. With RBO payroll, your payroll process can be coordinated with your bookkeeping workflow. That means fewer handoffs, cleaner payroll reconciliation, and better financial visibility. Learn more about Bookkeeping Services, Accounting Services, Payroll Migration Checklist.
