Action Payroll Services | Payroll Processing in Maine and Connecticut

Action Payroll Services gives businesses in Maine and Connecticut a direct way to outsource their entire payroll function. Rather than spending hours each week on tax calculations, compliance paperwork, and check runs, clients hand that work to a team of CPAs and experienced accountants who handle it accurately and on time. The company covers the full payroll cycle as a back-office partner. That includes processing paychecks, managing direct deposit, filing quarterly and year-end tax returns (941, 940, state unemployment, W2s, and 1099s), and staying current with federal and state regulations that change regularly. Clients submit payroll information online through a secure portal, by fax, or by phone. For businesses that want to eliminate paper, the paperless payroll option removes the need to handle physical checks. Action Payroll also supports time tracking, XACTPAY pay-as-you-go workers compensation, and 401(k), IRA, and Section 125 plan administration. One detail worth noting: Action Payroll writes paychecks directly on the client's own bank account rather than a pooled company account, so clients keep control of their funds and any interest they earn. Since its founding in 1995 by Michael J. Maunsell, a Certified Public Accountant, the firm has focused on small to mid-size companies. The client list includes family-owned operations, major corporations, and non-profit organizations, with active service across Maine and Connecticut. New businesses often bring Action Payroll in at startup to avoid the compliance mistakes that are easy to make early on. Established companies frequently switch after growing frustrated with impersonal service from larger payroll providers. What separates this firm from bigger competitors is straightforward: a smaller operation means lower overhead, and those savings pass directly to clients through lower pricing. Customers reach a dedicated customer support specialist with short hold times rather than cycling through an automated phone system. The staff, many with close to 30 years of experience, can answer detailed questions about payroll and benefits rather than routing clients to a generic help desk. For any business looking to outsource payroll and reduce the administrative burden of back-office accounting, Action Payroll offers a cost-effective alternative to the national providers.
