Case Study: Kellum Law Firm automates payroll, reduces errors and saves staff time with ADP

After 45 years, a new approach to payroll

Kellum Law Firm, a personal injury practice founded in 1968 with 10 offices and 48 employees across northeast North Carolina, was relying on a single bookkeeper who had managed payroll manually for 45 years. Payroll and quarterly tax processing consumed up to a day-and-a-half each pay period, produced occasional errors, and risked staff burnout as the long-time bookkeeper prepared to retire.

Implementing RUN Powered by ADP automated payroll and tax workflows, cut processing time to a fraction of what it was, reduced errors, and freed up staff time and costs. Employees now access paystubs and W-2s online, a new hire can run payroll quickly, and the firm reports less stress and tangible time- and cost-savings.
