Payroll Services

We process your payroll every pay period. You approve the hours and we handle everything else.

What This Is

Some business owners want to run their own payroll. Others just want it done without having to think about it. If you’re in the second group, this service handles the entire process from pay calculation to tax filing to year-end W-2s.

You send us hours or approve salary amounts each pay period. Payroll gets processed. Employees receive direct deposit. Tax deposits happen automatically. Quarterly reports get filed. You get a summary of what went out and that’s the extent of your involvement.

Each Pay Period

Calculate gross pay, overtime, and deductions. Process federal and state withholdings. Send direct deposits to employees. Remit tax payments to agencies. Provide you with payroll summary and copies of tax deposits for your records.

Quarterly and Annual

File Form 941 quarterly. Handle state unemployment and workers’ comp reports. Produce W-2s and W-3s in January. Manage new hire reporting and termination notices. All the compliance work that happens outside the regular pay cycle.

Why This Matters

Payroll doesn’t wait. Employees expect to be paid on schedule regardless of whether you had a busy week or forgot to process it until the last minute. The IRS expects tax deposits on time regardless of whether you remembered the deadline or got the calculation right.

Running payroll yourself works fine until you’re sick, traveling, or buried with actual business problems. Then it becomes one more deadline you’re scrambling to meet. One more thing demanding attention when you don’t have the bandwidth to give it.

The Recurring Burden

Payroll happens every week or two weeks or twice a month. It’s not a one-time project you finish and move on from. It’s a recurring obligation that takes 2 to 4 hours every single time, forever, until you sell the business or hire someone to do it.

The Penalty Risk

Late tax deposit? Penalty. Quarterly report filed after the deadline? Penalty. Year-end forms submitted incorrectly? Penalty and possible audit. The margins are tight and the IRS doesn’t care about your reasons for being late.

What Changes

Payroll runs without your involvement beyond approving hours. Employees get paid on time every period. Tax deposits clear automatically. Quarterly filings happen before you even remember they’re due. The entire administrative burden of managing payroll disappears from your to-do list.

When an employee has a question about their pay stub or withholding, they can get an answer from someone who knows payroll. When tax rates change or new regulations take effect, the system updates without you having to research what changed or how it affects your filings.

Time Back

Two to four hours per pay period. Multiply that by 26 or 24 pay periods per year and you’re looking at 50 to 100 hours annually. That’s time you get back to spend on work that actually grows your business.

Compliance Handled

Tax law changes get implemented automatically. New hire reports go out on time. Workers’ comp audits get handled with proper documentation. The entire compliance burden gets managed by someone who stays current on regulations because it’s their job to.
