Your Advantage Team
Advantage Payroll Services, based in Hicksville, New York, has been providing
comprehensive payroll and tax-filing services for clients since 1996. With professional
and responsive local customer service associates and backed by the strength of a
centralized processing system and technology, the company has become one of the most
recognized names in the industry in the New York metropolitan area. The company is
proud to call many of the region's most recognized companies and not-for-profit
organizations as its clients. In this publication, you will read about the entrepreneurial
spirit and innovative successes of several of these industry-leading enterprises.
Founded by Rob Basso, a Hofstra University graduate and leading payroll industry
professional, Advantage Payroll Services opened its first office in Jericho, New York, in
1996. The company quickly outgrew this office space and moved to Woodbury and then
a short time later to Syosset. After five years in business, the company opened its present
headquarters in Hicksville, New York.
Over the past ten years the company's reputation and track record of success has garnered
for itself and its founders a number of awards and recognitions. In 2003 and 2004,
Advantage was recognized as the Regional Partnership's Business of the Year. In addition,
Rob Basso was named one of the top business leaders under the age of 40 by the Long
Island Business News, and received Hofstra University's Young Alumni Award.
Long Island is home to many small and mid-sized, independently owned and operated
businesses. Today, Advantage Payroll serves a diverse client base from across the entire
New York metropolitan area and beyond. Clients range from the state's leading residential
real estate network, RE/MAX of New York, Inc., to Cipriani, the owners and operators of
fine dining establishments around the world, including Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy, and
Manhattan's famous Rainbow Room.
Rob Basso and his team believe that building long-lasting and trustworthy business
relationships is essential to success in business. Advantage and its staff members are
constantly striving to find solutions that provide the greatest cost and time savings for
clients. This commitment to quality and personal attention is something that Advantage's
management team and staff members share with each of the organizations highlighted in
this publication.
Community involvement is also an important part of doing business on Long Island and
across the New York metropolitan area. Philanthropy and participation in charity events
provide Advantage Payroll and its staff members with a means of giving back to the
community. Representatives from the company serve on several not-for-profit boards and
organizations.
