ADP(R) Small Business Services, part of the Employer Services division, a leading provider of integrated outsourced payroll and human resources services, today announced general availability of ADP Payroll for Microsoft(R) Office Small Business Accounting 2006 (ADP Payroll(SM)). This new ADP software solution is simple to set-up and use, yet robust enough to calculate federal, state and local taxes. It was developed for small businesses that want full control over their payroll and tax filing.

Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006 (SBA) is a cost effective, full-featured financial management program designed for small businesses that seek an integrated accounting, payroll and tax processing solution. Small businesses can activate ADP Payroll without additional software installation. It automatically calculates net pay for each employee, and all of the federal, state and local taxes. Payroll can be completed in just four clicks for only $169 per year. Users also have the option to upgrade to ADP Total Payroll, a full-service payroll processing solution.

"After activating ADP Payroll for Microsoft Office SBA, I was successfully prompted through the steps without any instructions. Now, all I have to do is log onto the Web site and enter each month's numbers. I love it," said Shirley Higginbotham, owner of Classic Quilts Studio. "Processing payroll for two businesses - Classic Quilts Studio, and Classic Motors, my husband's business - could easily be a challenge. With ADP Payroll, this monthly task has become a fast, standard process. As a licensed accountant, I can learn to process payroll, but my time is worth a whole lot more when I'm running my business."
