The accountant-led difference
Payroll software simplified and backed by real expert accountants.
After 25 years in accounting, Shanah Schaffer saw the same payroll headache over and over: software can calculate the check, but owners still get stuck with registrations, rate changes, confusing notices, setup decisions, and “please call support” energy. CareFreePay was built from the accountant side of the desk, where those details are not edge cases. They are the job.
CareFreePay helps match you with the right payroll solution, then provides the hands-on setup and ongoing support your business needs.
Designed around the registrations, notices, deadlines, and “wait, what now?” moments owners actually face.
We help identify and configure the right payroll solution when you want to stay hands-on.
Hand off setup, registrations, payroll runs, onboarding, HR, tax payments, and filings when you are done babysitting payroll.
Built to meet or beat almost any payroll company, without turning setup mistakes into your hidden fee.
The big plan: CareFreePay Concierge
For owners who want payroll actually handled.
Big payroll providers love calling themselves “full service” while still sending confusing emails, surprise tasks, and instructions that read like a scavenger hunt. Concierge is the service where CareFreePay coordinates the right solution and handles the work end to end, so payroll stops being your second job.
No scavenger hunts
New states, new agencies, new accounts. We handle registrations and rate updates so you are not chasing government portals at 11pm.
New hires, handled
Direct deposit, withholding forms, new-hire reporting, and the little details software loves to make your problem.
Not just reminders
We can run payroll for you or alongside you, with a real person watching the schedule, deadlines, and surprises.
Cash-flow control
Auto tax payments for ease, or manual tax payments so taxes are paid when they are actually due.
The paperwork too
Quarterly filings, annual forms, and year-end paperwork handled, not merely calculated and emailed to your inbox.
One team, not 20 departments
Payroll, HR, and bookkeeping questions with one practical first point of contact. Revolutionary, apparently.
How it works
From messy payroll to handled and boring.
Payroll should not require a second monitor, a government login scavenger hunt, and a customer support ticket titled “please help.” CareFreePay helps you find the right solution and gives you a real team when the details matter.

CareFreePay vs. the usual payroll runaround
Payroll should give you options, not homework.
Some providers make every business follow the same workflow, then hand you the messy parts when setup, taxes, or notices get complicated. CareFreePay helps you select, configure, and support the right payroll solution for your business.
Typical payroll providers
- One-size-fits-all tax payment timing
- Setup and registrations pushed back to you
- Confusing notice emails and vague instructions
- Support that bounces between departments
CareFreePay
- A payroll solution matched to your business needs
- Tax payment timing options explained clearly
- Setup, registrations, and rate changes handled if desired
- One accountant-led team behind your payroll solution
