Why It Matters

Payroll Is More Than Cutting Checks

Payroll means 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 entirely. 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 exclusively to our bookkeeping clients. This ensures accuracy, eliminates reconciliation headaches, and saves you from managing two separate providers.

Your Team

Happy Employees, Reliable Payroll

Nothing damages employee morale faster than payroll problems — late paychecks, incorrect amounts, tax withholding errors. These issues create stress and erode trust in your leadership.

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 gives them 24/7 access to pay stubs and tax documents. Our accuracy means no surprises or embarrassing corrections.

When payroll just works, your team can focus on their jobs instead of worrying about their paychecks. That peace of mind is invaluable for building a committed, loyal 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 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 using another payroll provider and want to switch, we'll coordinate a smooth transition — 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), pay rates, benefit deductions, and bank information for direct deposit. If you're starting bookkeeping and payroll 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 adds some complexity, but our team has experience navigating the various state requirements.
What about contractors and 1099s?
We handle contractor payments and year-end 1099 preparation as part of our bookkeeping service. We track contractor payments throughout the year and prepare/file 1099-NEC forms in January — no additional payroll fees apply since contractors aren't on payroll.
Do you handle year-end W-2s and tax filing?
Absolutely. W-2s for employees and 1099s for contractors are prepared, filed with the IRS/SSA, and distributed by the January 31st deadline. We also handle all annual payroll tax returns — 940, state annual reconciliations, and anything else required.
What if there's a payroll mistake?
Mistakes are rare due to our thorough review process, but if one occurs we take full responsibility. We'll issue corrections to employees, adjust tax filings, and handle any penalties that result from our error. Our integrated approach catches and prevents 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 bonuses, commissions, or an off-cycle check for a new hire or termination, just give us reasonable notice and we'll handle it.
