Service. Can your new provider handle your unique needs? You can only ask. But don’t just take their word. Ask for references in your size and type of business. Smaller providers may only be able to get close but that is OK. You’re concerned about how, not what, service is provided. Ask the references for other reference back to the provided that they did not provide you with. That is where you may get your best information. But in all fairness, remember the old adage “You can’t make all of the people happy all of the time.”
Technology. Is the provider up to date on payroll technology? It is hard for the major payroll providers to upgrade a system for hundreds of thousands of users.

Do they have qualified payroll professionals and CPAs on staff to handle problems? You will have dealings with the IRS if nothing else over mistakes that the IRS makes. Without a CPA on staff you will either have to deal with the IRS yourself or pay your regular CPA to handle the problem. If your CPA does not deal with payroll tax problems on a regular basis it will be time consuming for him, and expensive for you. to get up to speed with IRS procedure and policy on an area he doesn’t deal with daily.
Cost. How important is cost in the mix of factors in making a decision on which payroll service provider you choose? That question you have to ask yourself.
