Payroll Services Schaumburg IL — Small Business Experts | Payroll Freedom
Schaumburg payroll services, without the corporate runaround. Real people, real answers.
Schaumburg is home to some of Illinois’s largest corporate campuses — and also thousands of small businesses that deserve better than a national call center. For over 20 years, Payroll Freedom has served Illinois small businesses with transparent pricing, dedicated specialists, and no long-term contracts.
In one sentence: Payroll Freedom is a locally owned payroll services firm that has served small businesses in Schaumburg, IL and across the northwest Cook County suburbs since 2004 — providing full-service payroll processing, Illinois IDOR and IDES tax compliance, and HR support with a base fee plus $3.35 per employee for Core service, no long-term contracts, and a dedicated specialist on every account.
Schaumburg has corporate payroll providers on every corner. That’s the problem.
The same national providers that serve the Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Schaumburg also serve the 10-person shop down the road — but with very different levels of attention. Small businesses consistently get the short end of that arrangement.
