Acclaimed Tutoring Success Is Proof That Math & Science Matter
Challenge
Russ Hanush, owner of Acclaimed Tutoring, faced a significant challenge in managing his growing business. As the company expanded from a single contractor to multiple employees, he needed to implement proper payroll and HR management systems. The biggest obstacle he had to overcome was personnel: learning how to hire and manage people. Without a reliable payroll solution, scaling the business would have been extremely difficult. He had previously looked at other payroll providers and found them prohibitively expensive—one quote was 50 times what Patriot Software was asking for.
Without you guys, I couldn't have made that leap to growing my company. You guys are incredible. I've appreciated everything you guys have done. On the rare occasion that I've had a problem, one of the greatest things about Patriot is your customer service is always there. I don't get the runaround. They always fix my problem—your customer service is just excellent. — Russ Hanush, Owner, Acclaimed Tutoring
