Professional Payroll Services

Accurate, compliant payroll processing integrated seamlessly with your bookkeeping. Pay your team on time, every time, while we handle the taxes and compliance.

Payroll Made Simple

Payroll isn't just about cutting checks. It's about tax compliance, labor law adherence, accurate record-keeping, and staying on top of constantly changing regulations. Get it wrong, and you're facing penalties, upset employees, and sleepless nights.

Our payroll services take this burden off your plate completely. We handle everything from calculating wages and withholdings to filing taxes and maintaining compliance—all integrated seamlessly with your bookkeeping for a complete financial picture.

Because payroll and bookkeeping are interconnected, we offer payroll processing exclusively to our bookkeeping clients. This integration ensures accuracy, saves time, and eliminates the reconciliation headaches that come from using separate providers.

Your Team Deserves Better

Nothing damages employee morale faster than payroll problems. Late paychecks, incorrect amounts, tax withholding errors—these issues create stress and erode trust.

Our payroll services ensure your employees get paid accurately and on time, every time. Direct deposit means money in their accounts when they expect it. The online portal lets them access pay stubs and tax documents 24/7. And our accuracy means no surprises or corrections needed.

When payroll just works, your employees can focus on their jobs instead of worrying about whether they'll get paid correctly. That peace of mind is invaluable for building a strong, committed team.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our payroll services

Why is payroll only available to bookkeeping clients?
Payroll and bookkeeping are deeply interconnected. Every payroll run creates journal entries, tax liabilities, and expense allocations that must be properly recorded in your books. By handling both, we ensure seamless integration, perfect accuracy, and eliminate the reconciliation headaches that come from using separate providers. This integrated approach also allows us to offer better pricing and faster issue resolution.
What if I already use a different payroll provider?
If you're currently using another payroll provider and want to switch to our integrated services, we can help transition smoothly. We'll coordinate with your current provider to ensure accurate year-to-date totals, proper final filings, and seamless migration of employee data. Many clients find the integrated approach so much better that they wish they'd switched sooner.
How quickly can you set up payroll?
For existing bookkeeping clients, payroll setup typically takes 1-2 weeks. We'll need employee information, tax documents (W-4s, state withholding forms), current pay rates, benefit deductions, and bank information for direct deposit. If you're starting bookkeeping and payroll services simultaneously, we'll coordinate both setups together.
Can you handle multi-state payroll?
Yes! We handle payroll for employees working in multiple states, including proper state tax withholding, unemployment insurance, and state-specific reporting requirements. Multi-state payroll does add complexity, but our team has experience navigating the various state requirements.
What about contractors (1099s)?
We handle contractor payments and year-end 1099 preparation as part of our service. We'll track contractor payments throughout the year and prepare/file 1099-NEC forms in January. This is included in your bookkeeping service—no additional payroll fees for contractors since they're not on payroll.
Do you offer year-end W-2s and tax filing?
Absolutely. Year-end tax forms (W-2s for employees, 1099s for contractors) are prepared, filed with the IRS/SSA, and distributed to employees/contractors by the January 31st deadline. We also handle all annual payroll tax returns (940, state annual reconciliations, etc.).
What if there's a payroll mistake?
Mistakes are rare because of our thorough review process, but if one occurs, we take full responsibility for fixing it. This includes issuing corrections to employees, adjusting tax filings, and handling any penalties that result from our error. Our integrated approach means we catch and prevent most issues before they happen.
Can I process off-cycle or bonus payrolls?
Yes! Unlimited payroll runs are included in your monthly fee. Whether you need to process bonuses, commissions, or an off-cycle check for a new hire or termination, we can handle it. Just give us notice before you need the payroll processed.
