About Us

Welcome to Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping!

We’re a business that understands the needs of local and independent businesses—because we are one!

We believe small businesses have been greatly overlooked…treated as a number, not a name.

With that belief in mind, Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping was founded. We've partnered with industry leaders in payroll and human resources management to offer a simple, transparent pricing structure with no hidden fees or surprises.

Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping also believes in giving back. Through our initiative, #SouthernSupports, we pledge to donate 10% of our one-time fees to the charity of your choice.

Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping

“When you lose a client, it is rarely because your competitor’s product/service has a few extra bells and whistles. It is rarely because your competitor is a couple of dollars a month cheaper. It is rarely because of that amazing promo that the salesperson offered. In almost all instances, you lose a client because they feel neglected. Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping won’t be touched from a customer-service standpoint, and we refuse to be outworked by anyone in the industry.”
