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.

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.

Call Steve directly: 239-208-8788

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Entrust Payroll Solutions the best choice for Fort Myers businesses?

Entrust Payroll Solutions offers simple, affordable online payroll processing that saves Fort Myers business owners valuable time. You can run payroll in minutes from anywhere, anytime, even on mobile devices. We provide comprehensive services including payroll tax service, time clock integration, workers’ compensation payment services, and direct deposit/paycard options. Our local Fort Myers presence combined with professional phone and email support, plus free in-person walk-throughs for your first payroll, ensures personalized service you deserve.
How does Entrust Payroll’s time clock integration help Fort Myers businesses reduce errors?
Our time clock integration eliminates double data entry by allowing you to import payroll information directly from your time and attendance system into your Entrust Payroll account. This saves significant time and vastly reduces potential for data entry errors that occur when manually entering employee hours twice. Fort Myers businesses can avoid common issues like illegible handwriting, misread numbers, and calculation mistakes that lead to overpaying or compliance problems while streamlining their entire payroll process.
What is Pay As You Go Workers’ Compensation and how does it benefit Fort Myers employers?
Instead of paying workers’ compensation premiums upfront for the entire year (like paying employee salaries in advance), our Workers’ Compensation Report and Pay As You Go Service calculates premiums using actual wages, not estimates. This service integrates seamlessly with Entrust Payroll to provide more accurate premium calculations, improved cash flow management, and reduced financial risk for Fort Myers businesses. You pay based on actual payroll rather than potentially inaccurate projections.
Can Fort Myers businesses access Entrust Payroll services remotely and on mobile devices?

Yes, our online payroll system provides complete access from anywhere at any time, perfect for Fort Myers business owners who need flexibility. Our free mobile apps allow you to run payroll wherever your day takes you with “On the Go Control,” keeping your business information at hand so you never miss a beat. Whether you’re at the office, traveling, or working from home, you have full control over your payroll processing with the same functionality as desktop access.
What additional services does Entrust Payroll offer to help Fort Myers businesses stay compliant?
Beyond basic payroll processing, we provide comprehensive compliance support including payroll tax services, HR advisory tools, health care reform guidance, garnishment payment services, and SUI (State Unemployment Insurance) services. Our services help Fort Myers businesses stay compliant with federal, state, and local regulations while reducing administrative burden. We also offer background check services, FSA administration, retirement services, health benefits support, and employee online access to create a complete HR solution.
How does Entrust Payroll Solutions help Fort Myers businesses become employers of choice?

We help Fort Myers businesses attract and retain talent through comprehensive employee services including retirement services, health and benefits administration, FSA programs, employee online access to pay stubs and tax documents, time off accrual tracking, and background check services. These professional benefits and services help small and medium Fort Myers businesses compete with larger employers by offering comprehensive employee packages that demonstrate your commitment to your team’s well-being and professional success.
