Payroll
We run your payroll on schedule, handle the filings and records behind it, and manage the time data, deductions, and benefits that feed it.
The difference
Hours flow from your time system straight into the pay run instead of being retyped from timesheets, which is where most payroll errors actually start.
The run, and everything the run sets off
Before you hand anything over
How we handle your data
-
Your systems stay yours.
The work happens in your own accounts, on your own subscriptions, under your ownership. Nothing leaves the systems you have given us access to.
-
Access is requested, never assumed.
Read only wherever the work allows it, asked for per system rather than granted in bulk, and named per person. Credentials are never shared, and your records never sit on personal devices.
-
Preparing stays separate from approving.
A second person reviews before anything is filed or closed. On payables we prepare the run and you're the one who releases it.
Who it’s for
Businesses that want payroll off their plate and done right. Also anyone who has learned that payroll mistakes cost more than the time they save, because they land on your people and on a filing deadline at the same time.
How we help
- 01 We run payroll on your schedule, whatever the cycle.
- 02 We take time and attendance data into the pay run, so hours aren't retyped.
- 03 We manage deductions, benefits, and garnishments as part of each run.
- 04 We prepare and submit the associated filings and keep the records behind them.
- 05 We give your team self service access to payslips and their own details, so those questions stop coming to you.
- 06 We keep up with rate and threshold changes, so a legislative change isn't your problem to track.
What you get
- Accurate payroll, on time, every cycle.
- Filings and records handled.
- Deductions and benefits applied correctly.
- Payroll reporting that ties back to your books.
- Your people able to answer their own payslip questions.
What owners ask about payroll
Which payroll platforms do you work in?
We work in the major cloud payroll platforms and fit into the one you already run wherever we can. Where there's a real reason to move, we say so and we handle the migration.
Do you handle contractors as well as employees?
Yes. Contractor payments and the 1099 reporting behind them are handled alongside payroll. We'll also tell you when a working relationship looks misclassified, because that exposure is expensive and it's easier to fix early.
What happens if someone is paid wrong?
We correct it in the next available run, or off cycle if it matters to the person. Then we find out why it happened. A payroll error that's only corrected is a payroll error that repeats.
Can you run payroll across multiple states?
Yes. Multi state payroll brings registration and withholding obligations in each state, and we handle those alongside the run rather than leaving them for you to discover. Payroll in a state often creates other obligations there too, which is sales tax and multi state compliance.
Is payroll included with bookkeeping?
They're separate services that work well together. When we do both, the payroll journal lands in your books correctly without anyone reconciling between two providers.
