How We Got Started

Breedlove & Associates was formed in 1992. The founders, Stephanie and Bill Breedlove, had hired a nanny to help care for their two young boys. After several frustrating quarters of trying to handle the nanny tax compliance process by themselves, they sought professional help. Despite countless hours of research, they were unable to find anyone who could handle the entire process of nanny payroll services – payroll, tax preparation and employment law guidance – with any level of expertise or efficiency. Not only did the base services cost a fortune, there were numerous mistakes and oversights that ended up costing them even more. To rub salt in the wound, every time they had a question about overtime or workers’ compensation or disability insurance or unemployment insurance or local income tax or anything else that household employers commonly face, they got a bill for consulting time. And half the time, the answer was in direct conflict with what they found on their own by reading Publication 926 and the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Finally, they decided to quit their jobs at Andersen Consulting and Ernst & Young with a mission to expertly and efficiently handle the entire complex and time-consuming employee taxes process for busy families across the country – freeing them from tedious paperwork as well as financial and legal risk.

Since that day in 1992, Breedlove & Associates has served more than 11,000 families in all 50 states, processed more than $1 billion in household payroll, and become the go-to experts in this highly-specialized, exceedingly-nuanced segment of tax and labor law. As a result, hundreds of CPAs, financial planners, and household employment agencies confidently refer clients to us and regularly come to us for answers, advice and nanny payroll services.

Our Approach To Customer Service

In addition to having a deep and broad understanding of the tax code and labor law, we also pride ourselves on having an old-fashioned attitude toward customer service. We staff our firm with knowledgeable professionals who can instantly provide answers and advice so clients get what they need quickly and painlessly. Finally, we stand behind our work with guaranteed accuracy and timeliness.

When you hire Breedlove & Associates, you can rest assured that you'll be 100% compliant, your tax breaks will be maximized, and your paperwork will be eliminated.

About Our Team

We hire only college-educated professionals, typically with degrees in accounting or finance. In addition to intelligence, we look for professionals who are also conscientious and helpful. Those who make the cut go through a rigorous, month-long education program in which they become experts in all aspects of household employment tax law (federally and for each state) and labor law (federally and for each state). 

Bottom Line: we know our clients are busy professionals with better things to do – so we want them to be able to pick up the phone when they have a question or problem and get prompt, professional resolution every single time.

We're proud to get several hundred notes each year from clients thanking us for extraordinary service which saved them thousands of dollars, helped them avoid a lawsuit or simply made their life easier. We love those letters. And each one reminds us how important it is to have a smart, pleasant, hard-working team.
