Good services for tracking multiple independent contractors? My business operates an on-demand platform, so we need a way to manage and keep track of independent contractor expenses, including filing form 1099s. I saw Quickbooks has this feature, however I’m not sure how it will work at scale. We use Stripe for online-payment processing, so ideally the service would link with Stripe. Gust also does, but once again I don’t think it would work with a large number of contractors.
Does anyone know of a service to manage lots of independent contractors?

Bro, gusto.com has you covered. Seriously, worth every penny. Pay contractors, pay employees, provide benefits of you want. Gusto handles all the paperwork, and reminds you to file the relevant reports. Your welcome.
Hi HH (my first post),
I'm about to hire a contractor, and I wanted to know a) what documents (legal, financial) I need to make sure I cover all bases b) and if there were any free "open source" ones available. Please impart your wisdom! Thanks :)

An attorney is the best place to start, but also check out payroll services like ZenPayroll / Gusto https://gusto.com/ -- they take the headache out of most of the equation, you just need to make sure the attorney helps with the actual contract you need to describe the working relationship.
Does anyone have any recommendations for payroll companies besides ADP? I have a pile of reasons to be annoyed at them, and would really like to switch to another provider starting in 2016.
