Why Cadent

Built for the way you actually run payroll.

Three things our clients tell us matter most, and that we obsess about delivering.

01

Easy to reach support

Email, call, or text us. We respond in hours, not days. No tickets, no phone menus, no chasing.

02

Compliance, end to end

Federal, state, and local: registrations, filings, and notice resolution all under one roof.

03

Powered by tools you trust

We run on Gusto and ADP, so you keep enterprise-grade infrastructure with boutique service.

What we do

One firm. Every piece of payroll, covered.
