Southwest Florida’s Payroll Company — Built by Someone Who Left Paychex to Do It Right
After 9 years inside Paychex — including running their district sales operation across Southwest Florida — I started Entrust because I watched too many business owners get lost in a call center when they just needed a real answer. When you call us, you reach me.
9 Years Inside Paychex
Steve rose to District Sales Manager working with thousands of Southwest Florida businesses. He knows the system — and exactly where it fails you.
You Call. Steve Answers.
No call centers. No ticket numbers. No account rep who changes every six months. One direct line to someone who knows your business by name.
Tax Liability Is On Us
If we make a filing error, we pay the IRS penalty — not you. That’s not standard in the industry. We offer it because we stand behind our work.
What are Customer are Saying
When you call, someone picks up right away which is refreshing.
I recommend them to
anyone needing
payroll services.
Payroll in SWFL is so easy with Entrust. They give personal service to the point they know you and your employees by name. That’s what makes them different.
Entrust Payroll Solutions has been an absolute game-changer for our business. Every interaction feels personal, and you truly feel like you’re part of their family.

Run Payroll on Your Schedule with Entrust Payroll Solutions.
I started Entrust because I spent nine years watching what happens when payroll becomes a transaction instead of a relationship. At Paychex, I worked with thousands of businesses across Southwest Florida. I watched account reps change constantly — every few months, a new face who didn’t know your company’s payroll history. I watched business owners wait on hold on a Friday afternoon when they had payroll to run. I watched invoices show up with charges nobody had explained.
Entrust is what I wished I could have offered those clients. You get direct access — phone, email, or in person. You get a team that knows your business by name. And you get payroll tax liability covered: if we make an error, we pay the IRS penalty. Not you. We serve restaurants, contractors, medical practices, nonprofits, and small businesses across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Estero, and all of Southwest Florida — and we’ve been doing it for over 22 years. — Steve Kowalski, President, Entrust Payroll Solutions

A Fort Myers restaurant owner called me last year after getting a notice from the IRS. He'd missed a payroll tax deposit by four days while dealing with a family emergency. Four days. The penalty was over $800 on a $20,000 payroll. He didn't know the deposit was...
