## Reviews

### "Paychex Flex" — 3.0/5

> **Sally** | *12 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Intuitive. Reasonable reporting ability. Full tax service.
> 
> **Cons**: Customer service. Tax inaccuracies. Unable to go fully paperless.
> 
> The product is decent but you do need to keep your eye on the product and processes. Tax filing can be an issue in some instances if you aren't paying close attention. The reporting could be better as there wasn't much user customisable offerings.

-----

### "Flexing with Paychex Flex" — 5.0/5

> **Mai** | *29 March 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We love how fast and automated payroll processing has become for our employees with direct deposit and same-day payment.
> 
> **Cons**: No cons\! Our employees find it super simple whether on desktop or the app\! It's been a super easy transition for our employees.
> 
> It's become the perfect option for our small businesses by automating tax data, self-service access via desktop or mobile app, and all the additional workforce management tasks. We couldn't be more pleased\!

### "Great payroll product for small companies." — 4.0/5

> **William** | *14 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, and fairly affordable. The Flex software worked great. Perfect.payroll solution for small to midsized companies.
> 
> **Cons**: The pricing continued.to increase every year until it was unaffordable. Set up process was a bit complicated, as well as the process of leaving the service.
> 
> Paychex Flex.is a great option for a small to medium sized company. Software was easy to use and understand, and their customer service was top notch.

### "Chief Financial Officer" — 3.0/5

> **Tracy** | *8 April 2026* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The staff that I encountered was very helpful and always assisted when possible, it just always seems I had always talked to someone that may not have been as knowledgeable about the procedures and processes to correct problems
> 
> **Cons**: The pricing and the length of time it took to resolve issues with payroll.  In my time working with them I rarely ever encountered anyone who was able to immediately fix an issue without involving other staff members
> 
> I was very unhappy and the amount of times there were errors or late release of payroll was an ongoing concern.  With banks releasing funds 1-2 days early I always would spend hours explaining to staff that it was not us but the payroll service that had to release the funds and generally released them very late in the week although my payroll was  completed on Mondays

### "Great program so easy to use\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jovon** | *25 February 2026* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use and the mobile app. Sometimes I'm on the go i cover several sites the fact that i can just use my phone to clock in and out as well as put in any request i have in the app directly is so convienent.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like that it takes you directly to the new version and not the original 1st. I have not had time to familiarize myself with all the new features yet from the ones i have used this is very easy to use.
> 
> It is a very easy program to use it is clear and concise not confusing at all\! I especially like the ease of it\!
