As being part of the accounting team with Payroll, I wish Eddy had easier ways to download payroll into clear formats for the whole month into Excel so I could input it into QB. I feel like I end up having to manually input a lot of the info from Eddy often.

You can e-file taxes yourself. Don't have to have taxes done by a prefessional.
