Payroll
Payroll Services for Small and Mid-Sized Businesses
Payroll processed on time, taxes withheld and deposited correctly, and every filing submitted on schedule, so your team is paid right and nothing comes back from the IRS or the state.
What payroll covers
Payroll is more than paying your team. Every run carries tax withholding, employer taxes, deposit deadlines, and filings that all have to line up, and a mistake in any one of them tends to surface later as a notice or a penalty.
We handle the full cycle and post the entries straight into your books, so payroll is recorded correctly as it happens instead of being rebuilt at year-end.
Who it is for
- Businesses hiring their first employees
- Owners running payroll themselves and losing hours to it
- Companies with a mix of employees and contractors
- Businesses that have received a payroll tax notice
What this fixes
- Deposit deadlines missed, with penalties that follow
- Workers classified as contractors when they should be employees
- Quarterly filings that do not agree with the annual forms
- Payroll entries that never make it into the accounting records
What is included
- Scheduled payroll processing and direct deposit
- Federal and state withholding and employer tax deposits
- Quarterly 941 and state unemployment filings
- Year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation and distribution
- New hire setup and contractor onboarding
- Payroll entries posted into your accounting records
