Greenville payroll FAQs
Do you have a payroll office in Greenville?
The office is at 1204 Lexington Ave #2A, Irmo, SC 29063. We work with businesses in Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Travelers Rest, and the rest of the Upstate, plus clients in all 50 states. Call 803.575.0710. You can drive to Irmo if you want a face-to-face meeting. Most Greenville clients just call, and we pick up.
Can I get payroll only, or do I have to buy a PEO?
You can start with payroll only. Standalone payroll is $99/month + $4 per direct deposit, with tax filing, timekeeping, onboarding, and PTO tools included. You only add ASO or Concierge HR (PEO) if you want deeper HR or large-group benefits.
What is the difference between payroll, ASO, and a PEO?
Payroll runs paychecks and tax filings (and the admin listed above). ASO adds fuller HR support while you keep your benefits carriers. Concierge HR (PEO) adds co-employment and large-group benefits access at $139 PEPM. If you're comparing "PEO Greenville SC" options, we'll tell you when payroll or ASO is the better fit.
How much does a PEO cost per employee?
Concierge HR (PEO) is published at $139 per employee per month. ASO and PEO plans have monthly minimums. See pricing for the current minimums. You'll get a written quote before you move. For a first look at employer cost, use the South Carolina employer cost calculator at boundpayroll.com/tools/sc-employer-cost-calculator.
Should a Greenville small business use a local PEO?
If you want a person who picks up and knows South Carolina employers, yes, a local team is usually the better fit. guHRoo is based in Irmo and serves Greenville and the Upstate. A national platform can be enough if all you need is software. When payroll breaks, or a benefits renewal lands, you want a named specialist, not a ticket queue.
Can you cover employees outside Greenville?
Yes. The office is in Irmo. Coverage is national. Multi-state payroll and HR compliance are normal for our clients.
Is guHRoo a good PEO for a small business in South Carolina?
We're built for small and midsize South Carolina businesses, roughly 10-150 employees, including professional services, healthcare, nonprofits, and similar teams. We're 2x SC Best in Business (Payroll and HR Benefits) for 2024 and 2025, have processed $1B+ in payroll, and have served 500+ businesses. If you only need software and never want to talk to a person, we're probably not the right fit.
