Preferred Payroll Services

Preferred Payroll Services has been handling payroll for small and mid-size businesses in the Chicago area for over 50 years. As a back office outsourcing partner, the firm takes on the full scope of payroll administration so business owners can stop worrying about tax deadlines, shifting compliance rules, and the cost of keeping payroll in-house. The team is made up of professional accountants who are accessible by phone, making it a practical alternative to the automated, ticket-driven experience common at larger national payroll providers. The company's primary offering is the Preferred Payroll Package, which bundles payroll processing, complete payroll tax filing, direct deposit, presigned checks, new hire reporting, garnishment administration, and delivery into a single flat monthly fee. That pricing structure is intentional. There are no hidden charges, and the fee does not change as the business grows between annual reviews. Additional services include quarterly and annual reporting, W-2 preparation, worker's compensation tracking and reporting, labor distribution and job costing, and a report writer for customized payroll reporting. Business owners can submit payroll data by phone or fax, working with a dedicated Client Service Representative each cycle. Tax compliance is handled end-to-end. The Preferred Tax Filing Service covers the calculation, deposit, and electronic filing of all federal and state payroll taxes through EFTPS. The team also responds directly to agency inquiries and processes unemployment claim filings. For business owners, this means real protection against penalties, not just a promise. Preferred Payroll Services focuses on the small to mid-size business market in the Chicago metropolitan region. That focus shapes how the firm operates: each client is assigned a named accountant, not a call queue or a case number. The consistent feedback from clients is that someone is always available when they call, a distinction that matters when a payroll question needs an answer before the end of the business day. For companies evaluating payroll outsourcing or back office BPO options in the USA, Preferred Payroll Services offers a straightforward, transparent alternative to big-box providers. Outsourcing payroll to a team that treats your account as a priority, not a volume number, is the value proposition here. Contact the firm today for a free consultation.
