Reliable payroll support for your business and your team.

S Corporation Owner Payroll
Shareholder-employees performing services generally need wages through payroll — separate from distributions, loans, or reimbursements.
Recurring deadlines, depending on your jurisdiction.
Multi-state payroll: if an employee lives, works remotely, or relocates to another state, please tell us before it happens — additional withholding and registrations may be required, and fees may apply.
Payroll & Bookkeeping
Recording only the net bank withdrawal doesn't reflect total payroll expense. We coordinate reports with your books.
Explore Monthly Bookkeeping →Payroll & Business Tax Prep
Payroll reports should reconcile with W-2s, 941s, and officer compensation before your return is prepared.
Explore Business Tax Preparation →Employees vs. Contractors
Calling someone a "contractor" doesn't make it so. Misclassification has real payroll tax and reporting consequences.
Payroll Corrections
Incorrect wages, missing periods, discrepancies, unfiled returns — corrections to filed returns need a separate engagement.
New Employee Onboarding
Complete info (W-4, I-9, pay rate, direct deposit, benefits) upfront prevents payroll delays down the line.

Final-pay deadlines vary by state and can be short. Tell us as soon as you know about a departure.

Quick answers before you get started.
Which payroll platforms do you support?
Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks Payroll, or other approved systems, depending on your business's needs.
How often can payroll be processed?
Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly — the right frequency depends on your business and state requirements.
Can you process payroll for only one employee?
Yes — common for S corporations with one shareholder-employee.
Can you pay independent contractors through payroll?
Contractor payments and employee payroll are handled differently — contractors may need Form 1099 reporting instead.
Do you handle payroll taxes?
Deposits and filings may be included, depending on the platform and service plan.
Do you prepare Forms W-2?
Yes — year-end W-2 and W-3 reporting may be included in ongoing payroll service.
Are Forms 1099 included?
No — separate from employee payroll, offered as an additional service.
Can you correct payroll from a prior provider?
Possibly — we first review the year-to-date payroll records, filed returns and agency accounts.
Can you register my business for payroll taxes?
Federal and state registrations may be offered as an additional setup service.
Does payroll include bookkeeping or tax planning?
No. Both are separate services, though they can be coordinated together.
Can you process payroll if funds are not available?
No. The business must maintain sufficient funds for employee payments, taxes and fees.
Payroll pricing depends on the business and service level.
Payroll frequency, employee count, number of states, tax accounts, platform, benefit deductions, garnishments, officer payroll, and year-end reporting all factor in. After reviewing your needs, we'll recommend the right plan and fee.
Setup, state registrations, prior-period corrections, and amended filings are priced separately.
