Payroll

Payroll done wrong is expensive. Done right, you never think about it.

What We Do

What We Handle for You

We manage the full payroll cycle: processing each pay run, calculating federal and state withholdings, remitting tax deposits on schedule, filing your quarterly 941s and annual 940, preparing W-2s and 1099s, and maintaining complete payroll records. Everything the IRS and state agencies require, handled completely, on time, every time.

Because your payroll runs through the same firm managing your books, the numbers flow cleanly into your financial records. No reconciliation headaches between a payroll platform and your accounting software. No translating one vendor’s report into another vendor’s system. It is all one picture.

What Getting This Right Protects You From

Trust Fund Penalties

The IRS holds business owners personally liable for unremitted payroll taxes, meaning your personal assets are on the line, not just the business. This is one of the few tax obligations that pierces the corporate veil.

Late Deposit Penalties

Payroll taxes follow a strict deposit schedule. A deposit that is even one day late triggers an automatic penalty that increases with time. We deposit on schedule, every time.

Worker Misclassification

The line between an employee and an independent contractor is not always obvious. Getting this wrong triggers back taxes, interest, and penalties that can go back several years.

Year-End Errors

W-2s and 1099s with incorrect figures create problems for your employees' returns and reflect directly on your business. We prepare these accurately and file them on time.

Transportation Complexity

Owner-operators, per diem considerations, IFTA reporting, and multi-state filings for drivers crossing state lines. We work with these situations regularly.

One Firm, Everything

Payroll platforms are tools, not advisors. They process what you enter. Working with a CPA-led firm means you get the processing and the oversight.

Take payroll off your list for good. We will review your current setup and flag anything worth addressing.

FAQs

Questions We Hear Often

Is it worth outsourcing payroll if I only have a handful of employees?

Almost always yes, especially when you factor in your own time. Two employees and six employees carry the same deposit schedule, the same quarterly filings, the same year-end obligations. The cost of having it handled professionally is almost always less than the cost of the time spent doing it yourself, and far less than the cost of a mistake.

We have been using an online payroll platform. Why would we switch to you?

Payroll platforms are efficient tools, but they are tools, not advisors. They process what you enter. They do not flag a misclassification, catch a deposit schedule you have been getting wrong, or notice that one of your 1099 contractors probably meets the IRS definition of an employee.

What is our exposure if we have been misclassifying a worker?

It depends on how long the misclassification has been occurring and the worker’s role, but exposure can include back payroll taxes, interest, and penalties, sometimes going back multiple years. If you have any uncertainty, the right move is to get clarity now, before it becomes an issue the IRS raises first.
