About SMAART Payroll

Working hard and SMAART, for you

A SMAART Company brand built on a simple idea: accurate, on-time payroll and HR compliance shouldn't require a full back office. We review every run, file every deadline, and stand between you and the IRS.

Why we exist

Why does SMAART Payroll exist?

Payroll sits at the intersection of HR, accounting, and tax. Most payroll mistakes never show up right away: a misclassified employee, a missed state registration, a benefit coded wrong on hire day. The bill shows up quarters or years later as back taxes, penalties, and interest.

SMAART Payroll exists to change that. We built a practice around a human reviewing every run before it transmits, instead of software running unattended. Behind every payroll and every filing is a licensed Enrolled Agent or HR compliance specialist who owns the outcome.

As a SMAART Company brand, we bring that discipline to employers in all 50 states, with fixed fees quoted up front, and no per-run upcharges.

Core principles

What we stand for

The fundamental values that guide our work and define our commitment to every pay period.

Integrity first

We run payroll the way the law requires, and we're licensed to defend every filing before the IRS if it ever comes to that.

Precision & accuracy

Every run is reviewed by a real payroll specialist before it transmits. No offshore queue, no set-it-and-forget-it software.

Proactive partnership

We flag registration gaps and classification risk before a deadline hits, not once the penalty notice has already arrived.

Ask us directly

What services does SMAART Payroll offer?

Payroll processing, federal and state payroll tax filing (941/940), year-end W-2 and 1099 filing, HR compliance, HR services, and staffing. One team handles everything from your first payroll run to a multi-state HR compliance audit.

How much do your services cost?

We quote a fixed engagement fee up front. Most payroll engagements run $50–$150/month base plus $8–$18 per employee per month, depending on pay frequency, employee count, and states. No hourly meter, no surprise invoice at year-end.

I just started a business. When should I set up payroll?

Before your first hire's first paycheck. Getting your EIN, state tax IDs, and pay schedule right from day one avoids a costly correction later. Engaging us at the start lets us set it up correctly the first time.

Do you work with employers outside of Florida?

Yes. We're headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, but we run payroll and handle HR compliance for employers in all 50 states, including multi-state and fully remote teams.

Can you help if we already have an IRS or state payroll-tax notice?

Yes. Enrolled Agents on our team are licensed to represent you before the IRS and state agencies. We handle every communication so you don't have to.
