Why NOW, December, is the Perfect Time to Switch Payroll Providers

As we approach the end of the year, many businesses are gearing up for a fresh start in January. But one critical task often gets overlooked: switching to a new payroll provider. Right NOW is the perfect time to make this transition, ensuring a seamless start to 2025. Let’s explore why enrolling with a new payroll provider now is vital and why choosing a local provider like Ardiah can make all the difference.

The Importance of Payroll for Your Business

Payroll is the backbone of your business operations. It’s not just about paying your employees—it’s about staying compliant with tax regulations, ensuring accurate reporting, and maintaining employee trust.

Yet, managing payroll in-house or relying on outdated systems can lead to costly mistakes:

• 82 million U.S. employees experienced payroll errors, costing businesses billions annually.
• The IRS penalized over 5 million businesses in 2023 for payroll tax errors.

These statistics highlight the critical need for businesses to have a reliable, expert payroll provider.

Why NOW, December, is the Right Time to Switch

Transitioning to a new payroll provider in December offers several advantages:

1. Clean Year-End Break: Starting with a new provider in January avoids the hassle of transferring partial-year data, simplifying your tax filings and payroll history.
2. Compliant Tax Reporting: With updated payroll systems, you ensure accurate W-2 and 1099 forms for your employees.
3. Seamless Transition: December allows ample time for setup, testing, and training, so you’re ready to hit the ground running in January.

Why Choose a Local Payroll Provider Over Big Names

When it comes to choosing a payroll provider, many businesses are tempted by large, national providers like Paychex. But here’s why going local offers a better experience:

1. Personalized Support: Local providers, like Ardiah, offer one-on-one service tailored to your business needs. No more waiting hours on hold for generic customer support.
2. Transparent Pricing: Many big providers hit you with hidden fees for year-end tax filings or reports. Ardiah offers flat-rate pricing—what you see is what you pay.
3. Community Focus: By working with a local provider, you’re supporting a fellow small business that understands the challenges you face.

At Ardiah, we save our clients 50% on average compared to national providers like Paychex. Plus, our flat-rate payroll includes quarterly and year-end filings, reporting, and expert assistance—without the surprise fees.
