Certified Payroll Solution for QuickBooks - User Reviews from the Intuit Marketplace

time saver

5 star rating  Payroll Manager

[6/02/09] Sunburst Software Solutions CPS program is very easy to use.  The support staff is friendly and helpful.  They make adjustments to their software to adapt to what I need.  I get an immediate response by email or phone.  The support staff is very knowledgeable about their product.  Would highly recommend this software to anyone looking for a CPS program.

5 star rating  Sunburst Software Solutions Certified Payroll

[5/13/2009] I cannot tell you what a timesaver this product is for our companies.  I have two landscape construction companies; one for union work and one for non-union/prevailing wage work.  Sunburst has developed a product that works seamlessly with QuickBooks to make weekly Certified Payroll a breeze.  From my experience, I can say that they work tirelessly to update their product and keep it current with our ever-changing construction requirements environment.  Thank you Sunburst for making my life a little easier.

5 star  Sunburst Certified Payroll Solution

[6/3/08] This product cut my time on certified payroll in half.  It also cut my time on benefit reporting to the union by about half.  It is user friendly and if you need extra help you get very quick response from Sunburst.  They are also very helpful with QuickBooks solutions in relation to this product.  The training videos at their website are very straight forward and tremendously helpful.  We bought the work comp module for QuickBooks in order to be able to use Certified Payroll Solution and also received some help from CPS with some questions about the QuickBooks w/c program.  Great product - I love it!

[3/24/08] Certified Payroll Solution by Sunburst Software is exactly what you need to prepare payroll submissions for your US Department of Labor jobs.  The format follows the WH-347 exactly.  Listen to the 4 videos and follow the steps outlined by Nancy Smyth and you will quickly be generating a certified payroll.  I, along with a CPA staff, spent weeks trying to generate certified payroll reports to no avail.  With Sunburst's Software I was generating certified payroll reports within 5 hours.  It's great!

5 star rating  What a Time Saver!

[5/02/07] I absolutely love Certified Payroll Solutions!  It use to take me hours and hours to complete my payrolls, but now it only takes just a few minutes.  It's amazing how easy it is to use and the time it has saved me.  My only regret is not getting it sooner.  I recommend to anyone who does Certified Payrolls to get this program.  It truly is a time saver!!

5 star rating  Certified Payroll Reports in 5 seconds

[4/10/07]  I just wanted to say that "Certified Payroll Solution" is everything it is advertised to be.  It literally took approximately 5 seconds to process my Certified Payroll Reports using my Payroll Data in QuickBooks Construction.  The reports are much neater and professional looking and the worry of transposed or incorrectly totaled figures is gone.  I process Certified Payroll for 5 separate jobs currently with numerous employees working some hours in all 5 jobs.  Certified Payroll Solution transferred all the information perfectly and all I had to do was print the form and mail.  I am so thankful to have found this program.

5 star rating Great product and outstanding support

[2/02/07]  We are a specialty subcontractor working commercial projects.  Previously, our certified payroll reports were done in Excel after the data was processed in QuickBooks.  This program has eliminated the need to re-input the time and wage data.  After payroll is input, we proceed into the CPS program to generate our certified payroll reports.  Processing the reports is now just a matter of a few clicks and the report is ready for printing. We also found the support of Sunburst Software to be outstanding.  Ben at Sunburst sent us many emails and spent quite a bit of time trying to resolve a glitch we had during implementation.  Turns out the problem was with our system and not their product.  I would recommend this product for any contractor in need of a certified payroll reporting solution who is using QuickBooks.


4.5 star rating  Eliminates 1 Full-time Employee

[6/27/05]  Anyone that has ever had to manually produce Certified Payrolls knows that having a software product to produce them for you is nothing short of a miracle!  Sunburst Software Solutions not only has saved us time and frustration.  The CPS software has actually increased our profit because we no longer have to have a $10/hour employee to do them.  Our company works on 60-80 State and/or Federal jobs at any one time...and have to produce at least two copies to 20-30 vendors, was a nightmare.  The customer service I have needed has only been due to operator errors and it was the fastest, most efficient customer service I have ever had.  I actually talked with one of the owners!  If you use QuickBooks and have to produce Certified Payrolls, regardless of how many jobs you are on, Sunburst Software Solutions Certified Payroll Software is the only way to go.

4.5 star rating  Great Time-saver

[6/24/05]  Before finding this product, I would spend hours gathering the data, calculating the hours and wages, and filling out the report.  Now with CPS, I am done in minutes and reports are submitted on time!  I am usually very skeptical when purchasing a new product simply because of the horrors of dealing with support if things don't go right.  The few times that I've needed to contact support with CPS have been great!  I've never been put on hold, support is friendly and certainly goes above and beyond to make sure that things are working right, and on the occasion that I've needed to leave a message I always get a return call promptly.  Thank you CPS for taking the horror out of tech support!  The variety of reports that you can run are sure to cover any situation.  A lot of the projects that we work on require more than the average WH-347, such as local resident hiring reports and company wide hiring as apposed to job specific.  CPS makes it pretty simple to run these reports without going through the hassle.  With the version allowing you to run CPS while leaving QuickBooks open' it's simple to check any mistakes in QuickBooks that may show up as errors on CPS.  Once again, a great time saver.  Overall, this product has freed up several hours each week and has allowed me to accomplish even more....and the boss thinks I'm a genius!.  Thanks Ben & Nancy.

5 star rating  It works so well!

[5/27/05]  Our construction company has loved the ease of use of Certified Payroll Solution.  It has everything we need and with just a click of our mouse, these complex reports are completed in minutes.  Any questions we have are quickly answered by the software producer, Sunburst Software, with either a quick email or call.  Changes are easy to make and it works very well with our QuickBooks program, no problems at all.  We would highly recommend this software program to any company that is required to have payrolls on projects.  It has been a great time saver and efficient program.
