Payroll – Quickbooks/Intuit Payroll – Easy and the customer support is outstanding. I used QB Payroll when I first started hiring employees. The best part is that it automatically gets entered into your books.
Backups – I use UpdraftPlus and I’ve configured it to automatically backup to a Dropbox folder. Easy, peasy. And for extra peace of mind I can see that backups occurring each day as they are saved to Dropbox.
