We are a small business made for small businesses.
Who We ARE
We believe small businesses have been greatly overlooked…treated as a number, not a name.
With that belief, Southern Payroll & Benefits 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.
Similarly, we are working with the brightest minds and most transformative companies so that we can offer outstanding health care benefits, business insurance, retirement planning, and merchant processing.
Southern Payroll & Benefits 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.

“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 & Benefits won’t be touched from a customer-service standpoint, and we refuse to be outworked by anyone in the industry.
