OnPay Releases Findings of 2019 Small Business Finance and HR Report

According to the 2019 Small Business Finance and HR Report, five out of six small business owners agreed that their accountant is “a trusted advisor they can turn to for a wide range of business advice.” Thirty-one percent say their accountant is the advisor they trust the most, followed by family and friends (22%), lawyers (16%), and financial planners (9%). However, only 61% said they are satisfied with the breath of services their accountant performs.OnPay, the top-rated payroll provider serving small and medium businesses, surveyed a random panel of 1,081 Americans who self-identified as owners or managers of small businesses with at least one employee. The research was performed in April 2019 with the goal of better understanding how small businesses manage their finances and HR, and how accountants are expected to help.
