Case Study: Armstrong Group of Companies achieves major time savings and simplified payroll tax compliance with ADP SmartCompliance® Employment Tax

Removing taxing payroll tasks for AGOC’s 14 brands

Armstrong Group of Companies (AGOC) is a diversified, family-owned business of 14 brands across cable/internet/telephone, security/monitoring, manufacturing and other industries, with about 2,600 employees in 38 states. A payroll team of three using Workday HCM faced a time-consuming challenge: ensuring payroll taxes and filings are accurate and timely for federal, 38 state and numerous local jurisdictions while keeping up with constantly changing tax laws.

ADP SmartCompliance® Employment Tax, integrated with Workday, acts like a fourth payroll person—letting AGOC upload agency notices to an intuitive portal while ADP researches issues, communicates with agencies, and processes filings and deposits. The service also handles over 3,500 W‑2s annually, streamlines tracking and reconciliation, speeds resolutions, and delivers measurable time and cost savings for the lean payroll team.
