Owner - Benton's Maintenance and Mechanical
Southern Payroll and Bookkeeping took over my HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical business and they also manage my investment properties bookkeeping and payroll! On the payroll side they are Gusto Pros, we already used Gusto and they have helped us maximize the features in Gusto! It has been nothing but amazing working with them. My previous bookkeeper was doing a terrible job with keeping my books straight! After we got everything cleaned up the amount of detail and care they take with my books is unmatched. the communication is easy and they use great tools to easily communicate because we are based in Mississippi! We also use Scott from the team as a fractional CFO and I have never been more at ease with my financial situation. They are also partnered with an Accountant that is getting tax filed and saving us a ton of money! The check we write them is the easiest check I write every month.

Owner - Heritage Fence & Repair
I've had a fantastic experience with Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping. As a small business owner, I was constantly bogged down with payroll and bookkeeping tasks, which took away valuable time from actually running my business. Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping stepped in and took that burden off my shoulders. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable and efficient. They handle everything from payroll processing and tax filings to generating detailed financial reports. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and proactive approach. They are always available to answer my questions and provide guidance on financial matters. Thanks to Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping, I have peace of mind knowing that my finances are in expert hands. I highly recommend their services to any small business owner looking for reliable and professional payroll and bookkeeping solutions.
Owner - Tap House Chattanooga
I’ve now been using Southern Payroll for a couple of years and have always been able to reach someone when needed. Charlene helps me at a moments notice and has been great at helping explain things when I’m lost in the numbers! It’s been a great experience so far.

Jorge Crespo2025-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been with Southern PB for 5 years now. They are an amazing full bolt-on financial service. Whether it comes down to book keeping details, taxes, financial statements and even financial/tax strategies Southern Payroll truly offers the full package. And to be honest, they have become a family because of my business needs I interface with their team alot to make sure everyone is on a 1:1 basis. One of their bookkeepers Nancy is whom I interface with the most -- and she has become a good friend. Enough to where there is a relationship where we share family updates via text whilst in the same conversation of keeping business details up-to-date. It makes the drudgery and nitty details/tasks easier to deal with when you become friends. Nancy, I can't wait to see the grandbaby! Keep me updated! You cannot beat the service and value Southern Payroll provides, not only in the Chattanooga area but most likely the whole region. Would recommend them every day of the week, even twice on Monday.
