I have owned two companies, and both have used Ahola for their payroll. They have been great to work with for over 30 years

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.Laurie always responded to all my questions in a timely manner with great suggestions and resources; so many resources that we were able to create a library of HR topics on how to navigate any HR issue we could think of. Always respectful of our time and eager to learn about our industry, she went above and beyond in helping us resolve current issues as well as pointing us in the direction of where we want to go.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.

We have used Ahola for several years and cannot be more pleased.We are a small family business and they have always seen that we are well taken care of. CJ handles my payroll processing, and he is outstanding. He is knowledgeable and helpful. Ahola truly cares about their customers. I highly recommend them for your payroll needs.Malavite Excavating, Inc.

Jake Krider and Ahola HR Solutions are dependable, responsive, and knowledgeable. They have provided excellent ideas for how we can streamline and improve our payroll processes. AND they provide a dedicated point of contact for your whole time with the company, not just during the sales and implementation process. Thank you!
Great company, great products, even better staff. Worked with several departments and people over the years and our experiences have all been great. Wont find a better payroll/hr company out there, than Ahola.

We have been a customer of Ahola for decades. Their family business offers personalized service always by a friendly and knowledgeable staff member. We have had the same contact for many years and she knows our unique business which makes it super easy and reduces stress whenever questions or issues arise. She is always quick to respond anytime we reach out. At Ahola, you are a not a number....they treat each of their clients like family.

I'm very impressed with Ahola's payroll processing platform. We are a small company, and they always take care of us no matter what the issue is. Everyone I've had the pleasure to speak with there is knowledgeable and helpful and makes our experience with them that much more impressive.-Universal Oil Inc

I had the pleasure of meeting with Jake, his kindness and knowledge was outstanding. Not only did he take time to explain his business but also gave me guidance on how I can improve my own business. Jake is a genuine person who is willing to go the extra mile to help you. Thank you Jake!

Our company was very apprehensive with moving over to a new Payroll provider, however Ahola's Implementation Team was great through the whole process and made sure that even our specific situational needs were addressed and resolved to our satisfaction.

I could not be more pleased with the service we have received from Ahola. Everyone I have had the pleasure to deal with has been extremely friendly and more importantly helpful and quick to get the job complete. I have been extremely impressed from the very beginning with Paula and then Stephanie, Russell, and Corinne. I'm not sure why other payroll companies can't give this kind of service, but I am glad I found Ahola. Customer for life.

I am new to Ahola - just implemented in January 2021 - and I am so pleased with this company. Running payroll is a breeze with Ahola! Must more efficient and user friendly than other software than I have used in the past. Sheila Hardy 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 love working with Ahola! The team makes our payroll processing experience easy and uncomplicated. Our CSR, Tricia, the whole service team for that matter, is always just a phone call away. She/They truly care about our payroll needs and always go above and beyond every time.

We recently switched to Ahola for our payroll processing services. It's so helpful having my own personal payroll specialist who can answer all of my many questions! We've been super happy with everything. And I love working with a local, family owned business - just like mine! The switch over was so easy with my specialist walking me through it. It was a very good decision. Thank you Jake and the Ahola team!

I have been working with Ahola for over three years now, and just want to say that they do a great job! The contact I have through Ahola is Kathleen and she is amazing! The processes that they have in place to help the businesses navigate through the payroll system makes it easy and simple.This is not a typical payroll company, they actually work with you from setting up vacation time, PTO time and of course anything else you might need help with. They offer weekly and monthly training for all their clients so you have the ability to join the training classes when it is convenient for you.Highly recommend Ahola, you will not be disappointed!

We have been a customer of Ahola for many years. Their software is very easy to use, with easy access to a wide variety of payroll and human resource reports. Processing and delivery has always been on time. There have never been any problems with tax returns they've filed on our behalf. Any questions I've ever had are always answered promptly. I'm very, very happy with them as our payroll processor.
