GTM Payroll
About GTM Payroll
GTM Payroll Services is a full-service household employment specialist based in New York. Unlike self-service tools, GTM handles everything—payroll processing, quarterly tax filings, year-end documents, and even workers' comp placement. They've been in the household employment space for over 30 years and hold SOC 1 Type II certification.
What GTM Payroll does well
- True full-service: they file all taxes for you
- SOC 1 Type II certified (enterprise-grade security)
- Dedicated account manager
- Handles workers' comp and health benefits too
Where GTM Payroll falls short
- Expensive—$840/year for a single employee
- No free tier or payment tracking option
- No email deadline reminders (they file, so less relevant)
- Phone-based support may require callbacks
Why families switch to NannyKeeper
- Save $660+ per year with the same core features
- Get email deadline reminders for quarterly taxes
- Modern, self-service interface you control
- Free payment tracking tier available
Save $660 every year
That's $3300 over 5 years—same compliance, same tax filings.
Enough for date nights, a family outing, or just keeping more of your money.

A note on full-service vs self-service: NannyKeeper is a self-service platform. We calculate taxes, generate W-2s and Schedule H, and remind you of deadlines—but you handle the actual filing with the IRS, SSA, and your state. Competitors like HomePay, GTM, Poppins, and SurePayroll offer full-service filing, meaning they file taxes on your behalf at a higher monthly cost. If you're comfortable uploading forms yourself (it's easier than you think), NannyKeeper saves you hundreds per year.
