Running payroll manually? You’re not alone—but it’s costing you more than you think.

Back in 2020, a surprising 33% of small businesses were still using spreadsheets to handle payroll. Nearly half of them spent weeks just crunching the numbers. The problem? Manual systems are slow, error-prone, and risky. Missed deadlines and payroll mistakes can result in penalties, lost trust, or even legal trouble.
Whether you have a handful of employees or a growing team, automating payroll with a reliable system like Beyond can transform how you manage your business. Here’s why.
1. Fewer Errors, Fewer Headaches
A study by Ernst & Young revealed that the average company makes 15 payroll mistakes each cycle. These slip-ups can have serious consequences, including compliance issues and employee dissatisfaction. In fact, 40% of companies dealing with payroll-related lawsuits ended up cutting jobs to recover from the damage.
Errors like overpaying or underpaying staff are more common than you’d think—and completely avoidable with the right tools.
Beyond Payroll reduces those risks by automating critical tasks like pay calculations, tax deductions, and benefits processing. The system catches inconsistencies before they become problems, helping your business stay compliant and trustworthy.
2. Save Time and Work Smarter
Manual payroll eats up time—lots of it. According to the National Small Business Association, 41% of business owners spend around 80 hours per year just on payroll and HR work.
The American Payroll Association found that automation can cut that time by up to 70%. That means fewer hours on admin, and more time growing your business.
With Beyond, tasks like time tracking, wage calculation, and pay stub generation are handled seamlessly. You can go from clock-in to payday with just a few clicks—no spreadsheets, no stress.
3. Simplified Tax Management
Taxes are a major challenge, especially for businesses that operate in multiple states or work with remote employees. One wrong number, and you could face costly fines or delayed filings.
Beyond Payroll makes taxes easier. The platform keeps up with federal, state, and local tax laws automatically, so you don’t have to. Deductions, benefits, and withholding are all calculated behind the scenes—accurately and on time.
Plus, Beyond handles all your filings and payments. From quarterly reports to end-of-year W-2s and 1099s, everything’s submitted for you. That’s one less thing on your to-do list.
