Bickmore Construction cuts $500 a month in hidden payroll fees with Fingercheck

Bickmore Construction, a 17-employee construction company, switched to Fingercheck after growing frustrated with a third-party payroll provider that wouldn’t share clear reporting or explain what it was charging per employee. With Fingercheck, the team can pull reports whenever they need them and see exactly what each position costs to run — a change that’s saving the company $500 a month.

The challenge: a payroll provider with no transparency

Before Fingercheck, Bickmore Construction ran payroll through a third-party provider that kept its pricing and reporting opaque. The team couldn’t get the reports they asked for or see where hidden fees were coming from — a common pain point for small construction businesses juggling job-site labor costs on tight margins. Construction companies typically need to track hours and costs across multiple job sites in real time; when the payroll provider itself is a black box, that visibility problem gets worse, not better.

The solution: on-demand reports and per-position cost visibility

Fingercheck gave Bickmore Construction the ability to pull payroll reports whenever they want, instead of waiting on a vendor to produce them. The platform also shows the exact seat cost per position within the company, so the team can see precisely what it’s paying for — no hidden fees, no guessing. Employees use the platform to view their pay stubs and adjust their tax withholding themselves, reducing back-and-forth with the office.
