Built for Businesses Like Yours.
Payroll and HR shouldn’t take up half your week. Here’s what changes when you partner with us:
Get Hours Back Every Week
Your own HR shouldn't spend half their time on payroll processing and compliance forms. With Ahola handling the heavy lifting, your team gets back to what actually grows your business. Most clients save 8+ hours every week.
Stay Compliant Without Stress
Tax changes, wage garnishments, compliance deadlines, we watch for all of it. You get accuracy on every paycheck and the confidence that your business stays compliant.
One Platform.
Everything You Need to
Manage Payroll and People.
Payroll, HR, talent management, and workforce scheduling all connected in one place.
No jumping between tools or losing information.
Solutions Built to Work Together
One platform for payroll, HR, recruiting, benefits, and everything in between.
PAYROLL & TAX COMPLIANCE
Accurate payroll every time, with taxes filed automatically. Federal, state, and local tax requirements are handled so you don't have to think about it.
BENEFITS ENROLLMENT & ADMINISTRATION
Make benefits simple for your team. Easy enrollment, clear communication, and we handle all the paperwork and admin work.
EARNED WAGE ACCESS
Let your people get paid when they need it, not just on payday. Reduces turnover and shows your team you get it.
EMPLOYEE SELF-SERVICE & MOBILE APP
Your team gets access to everything they need anytime. Pay stubs, tax forms, benefits info, time off requests, all from their phone.
RECRUITING AND HIRING
Post jobs, track candidates, and make offers without leaving the platform. Get the right people on your team faster.
ONBOARDING
New hires get what they need on day one. We handle paperwork, training setup, and everything that makes a good first impression.
LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Build a team that grows. Assign training, track what people complete, and invest in your people's future.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Regular feedback and clear goals help people succeed. Reviews, goal tracking, and development conversations that actually work.
TIME AND LABOR MANAGEMENT
See where your labor costs are going. Track time, manage attendance, and make smarter scheduling decisions with real data.
SCHEDULING
Build schedules that work for your business and your team. Balance labor needs, preferences, and compliance requirements automatically.
TIME CLOCKS
Track time the way that works for you. Cloud-based clocks, mobile punch-in, GPS verification if you need it.
EXPENSE MANAGEMENT
Stop chasing receipts. Your team submits expenses once, and they get reimbursed fast. Less work for everyone.
HR CONSULTING SERVICES
Get strategic HR advice from people who know your industry. Help with compliance, benefits design, organizational decisions, and culture building.
INTEGRATIONS
We work with the tools you already use. Accounting software, benefits providers, ATS, time clocks, and more.
Get Your Team Back Hours Every Week
Manual payroll processing, compliance updates, benefits admin, it all eats time. Automated systems handle the repetitive work so your HR person focuses on strategy and growth. That's 16 hours a week that goes back to your business.
Time Savings
Customers using integrated HR software report saving up to 16 hours a week, leading to nearly $27,000 in cost savings per year.
Employee Satisfaction
78% of employees report high satisfaction when they have digital payroll and HR access.

Amazing customer service. We are very pleased with our experience with this company. They are local, and there is always someone available to help—you’re never transferred around like a 1-800 office. They have dedicated service professionals who handle everything from daily service needs to taxes.
They consistently help us make great decisions, provide thoughtful advice, and keep us up to date on anything that needs attention. I’ve even told my company that if we ever changed payroll providers, I’d start looking for another job—that’s how happy I am with their service.

[We] implemented in January 2021, and I am so pleased with this company. Running payroll is a breeze with Ahola! Much more efficient and user friendly than other software than I have used in the past. Sheila has been truly amazing to work with! I greatly appreciate her positivity and willingness to help in every situation. Couldn't ask for better service! When I have questions, she is always happy to answer them and gets back to me very quickly. I will certainly recommend Ahola to others in the business community! Fantastic job and fantastic people!

I highly recommend Proactive HR Consulting Services. In two short months, they gave our HR Department the push it needed, and in the right direction. Our management team presented them with our ‘wish list’ and one by one, they took them on; each time exceeding our expectations...
The flexibility this plan offers is key. The month-to-month agreement allowed us to ‘press pause’ when our company needed to focus on other issues. It’s great to know that we can return anytime and pick up where we left off. Like their parent company Ahola, we received the same great customer service, and attention to detail that we have come to depend on.

I have worked with many payroll companies in the past, but none can compare with Jake and Ahola. As a tax professional, I am approached constantly by payroll companies. The problem is they promise the world and offer low initial fees and great customer service, but this is only a sales pitch. Soon after the sale, they disappear. Customer service is lacking and your sales rep seems to change every year. Only with Jake and Ahola are you assured consistent prices and always the best customer service in the industry.
Because when you go with Ahola, you also get Jake and he will always go above and beyond to meet and exceed any expectations you might have.
