Services

Payroll

Your team paid on time, every pay run recorded in your books, and payroll tax returns filed before they are due.

What’s included

Payroll and its taxes, in one place

Run by licensed CPAs who know your industry, on one accounting rhythm with the rest of your books.

01

Pay runs

Employees paid on schedule through the payroll provider you already use, or one we set up with you.

02

Payroll in your books

Every pay run recorded in your books — wages, withholdings and employer taxes — and reconciled to the bank.

03

Payroll tax filings

Quarterly and annual federal and state payroll tax returns, with deposits tracked so nothing is late.

04

Year-end forms

W-2s for your employees and 1099s for your contractors, prepared and filed at year-end.

How it works

From the first pay run to the year-end forms, with the same team that keeps your books.

  1. Setup

    We review how you pay your team today and connect your payroll provider to your books. If you don’t have a provider yet, we help you choose one and set it up.

  2. Every pay run

    Each payroll is recorded in your books — wages, withholdings and employer taxes in the right accounts — so payroll costs are always current in your statements.

  3. Filings and year-end

    We prepare and file the quarterly and annual payroll tax returns, and at year-end the W-2s for your employees and 1099s for your contractors.

Who it’s for

For businesses with employees, contractors or both.

Small business owners who pay a team and would rather not track payroll deadlines themselves: contractors, studios, clinics, restaurants, shops and service firms.

It fits best when you want payroll handled by the same team that keeps your bookkeeping and prepares your tax filing, so the numbers agree everywhere.

Questions

Can I keep my payroll provider?

Yes. We work with the providers small businesses use most, including ADP, Paychex, Gusto and QuickBooks Payroll. If you don’t have one yet, we help you choose and set one up.

Which payroll tax returns do you file?

Federal quarterly and annual returns (Forms 941 and 940) and the state payroll tax and unemployment returns where you have employees.

Do you file 1099s for my contractors?

Yes. We collect W-9s through the year, so at year-end we prepare and file 1099-NEC forms for the contractors who need one and send each of them a copy.

Do you need to keep my books to run payroll?

No, but it helps. When we keep your books, every pay run lands in them without anyone re-entering it.
