Welcome to Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping!
We are a small business made for small businesses.
Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping -- Who We Are
We believe small businesses have been greatly overlooked…treated as a number, not a name.
With that belief, Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping was founded. We have partnered with the industry-leader for payroll and human resources management, Gusto. We offer a simple, transparent pricing structure with no hidden fees or charges. Southern Payroll & Bookkeeping also believes in giving back. We have pledged to give back 2% of our proceeds and provide ways for each company and their employees to do so, as well.
The knowledge and experience you need to streamline your business.

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.”
