Payroll looks routine right up until a filing is late or a worker is classified wrong. Penalties compound, notices arrive months after the fact, and untangling it costs far more than doing it correctly the first time. We run payroll so it stays boring.
What's included
- Payroll setup & migration — a new system stood up, or an existing one moved without losing history
- Multi-state payroll — registration and withholding handled when your team crosses state lines
- Contractor (1099) filings — contractors tracked through the year, not scrambled for in January
- Quarterly payroll tax filings — federal and state returns filed on schedule
- W-2/W-3 and 1099/1096 filings — the year-end forms plus the W-3 and 1096 transmittals that go with them, prepared, filed, and distributed to your people
Remote teams and multi-state payroll
If you hired someone in another state, you likely created a filing obligation there. This is the single most common thing small employers miss, and it is much cheaper to set up correctly than to fix retroactively. We can assist with registrations and the ongoing filings.
Employee or contractor?
Worker classification is a genuine risk area, and getting it wrong can mean back taxes, penalties, and interest. We will tell you plainly how a role looks under the tests the IRS applies, and what to change if the classification is shaky.
Payroll works best alongside bookkeeping, so wages, taxes and benefits land in your books correctly the first time.
