What people are saying
Using for more than 2 years ★★★★★
“Great app and support staff. They make managing and paying employees very simple. They provide excellent documentation and support to help you make tax payments throughout the year and it’s so easy to file your tax return. Very responsive when asked questions. Priced just right too.

Really fast easy setup ★★★★★
“Originally to hire a nanny I was trying to use SurePayroll, but they required me to call their salesperson constantly to get setup, and the process was onerous involving contracts to sign, credit checks, and even needing a letter from my bank. I eventually gave up after months of this annoying process and tried Nest instead. To my amazement, I didn’t need to talk to anyone or even wait at all, and within literally 5 minutes was generating paystubs for my nanny!”

Relief for the Non-Accountant ★★★★★
“It was so tempting for us to hire a nanny for cash just based on the fear of doing the payroll requirements but I’m so glad that reasonable temperaments prevailed and we instead went with Nest. It’s been so easy and we can rest assured that we are doing everything by the book.”
