How will you spend your time?
There are seven steps to processing even the simplest payroll run. It's no wonder the average small business owner spends three to ten hours a month handling payroll administration in-house — time that isn't going toward growing the business.
CLEAR's payroll team is made up of certified payroll specialists supervised by a CPA, with leadership experience from major national payroll providers. We manage the complexity — calculating, reporting, and paying state and federal payroll taxes, staying current with the latest regulations — accurately and consistently, every cycle.
You get your time back. CLEAR handles the calculations, the filings, and the compliance behind them.
