— Switching payroll providers
Leave the ticket queue. Keep payday on schedule.
If Gusto, ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks Payroll, or another provider has become more work than help, we move your payroll without making you rebuild it alone.
- Mid-year moves welcome
- Records reconciled
- A named person answers

— Built around you
A better service without a messy restart
Switching is not just exporting names. Year-to-date wages, deposits, deductions, and state filings must line up before the next run.
Clean record transfer
We organize employee records, year-to-date wages, deductions, tax deposits, and prior filings.
Continuity checks
The quarter is reconciled before the first run so a provider change does not create a filing gap.
Human support
You know who runs your payroll and who to call when hours, hires, notices, or audits change.
Clear monthly cost
We quote the work up front and explain what is included before you decide to move.
— A clear handoff
A controlled move, not a leap of faith
- 01
Review the old setup
We inspect current payroll reports, filing history, upcoming dates, and the problems you want the switch to solve.
- 02
Reconcile and rebuild
We move the records, check totals, set permissions and pay rules, and confirm the first-run calendar.
- 03
Approve the first run
You see the payroll before it moves. We stay with the transition through filings and the next reporting cycle.
— What matters
What moves with you
You should not have to discover a missing number after tax forms are due. We use the former provider’s records to rebuild the year accurately.
- Employee details, pay rates, deductions, and direct-deposit information
- Year-to-date gross wages, taxes, employer taxes, and prior payroll totals
- Federal and California or Nevada filing and deposit history
- Pay schedules, time-off balances, garnishments, and recurring adjustments
- Workers’ compensation classifications and the records needed for audit support
Your current provider does not have to be your next problem.
Show us what is frustrating you. We will tell you what can move, what needs attention, and how to protect the next payday before you commit.
— Founder story
Built by blue-collar, for blue-collar.
Profit First Payroll was founded by Matt Frechette, who brings 20+ years of hands-on experience in blue-collar environments. He's seen shops thrive — or unravel — because of poor cash flow, inconsistent owner pay, late crew checks, and workers' comp audit nightmares. PFP is built explicitly for trades and labor-heavy businesses: proper crew classification, project-based volatility, and protecting profit in high-risk industries.
