Sometimes, adversity really pays off. After losing her job as a bank payroll manager due to a merger, Joan Durett had difficulty finding a new job. So she started her own company from the basement of her home. Durett Business Management Corporation, now located at 182 Ridge Street in Glens Falls, is a local payroll company serving approximately 210 local businesses in the Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Essex, & Clinton Counties of New York.
\nStriving to offer one-on-one personal assistance with payroll and bookkeeping needs, Durett Business Management Corporation offers payroll processing, including paychecks, direct deposit, payroll deductions, tax filing, quarterly reports, year-end reports with W-2s, and more. They also offer Health, Dental, Supplemental, Workers’ Compensation, and Disability & Liability Insurances through payroll deduction or pay on your own.<\/p>\n

Joan and her team offer QuickBooks training to help companies manage their paperwork and “in our office” audits. They also highly recommend using their tax filing service to ensure that payroll taxes are processed in an accurate and timely manner.<\/p>\n

In addition to owning Durett Business Management, which employees 9 people, Joan purchased a small pub 4 years ago. Next Door Pub is located on Hudson Avenue and offers “great pizza and a friendly atmosphere” and employees 4 people.<\/p>\n

Joan is a wife of 46 years, a mother to three children, a grandmother of 12 children and the great grandmother of 5 children. “My family and the great blessing of owning and operating two successful businesses are my proudest accomplishments,” says Joan.<\/p>\n

In her spare time, Joan enjoys family, walking, volunteering and traveling. Joan also has been a Big Sister to a young man named Porter for the past 7 years. She is a board member on Family Services of Glens Falls, Glens Falls Area Youth Center, parish council Member at St. Mary’s Church, an ambassador for the Adirondack Chamber of Commerce, a mentor at Harrison Avenue School and has also served on the board for Kiwanis and the United Way.<\/p>\n

Joan’s keys to success are to work hard, have dedication to your mission and to surround yourself with a wonderful team of people, and she offers this advice to women who are trying to start their own business: “Go for it! But be prepared for a great deal of dedicated time to make it work. Never think that it will not work.”<\/p>\n
