Is Payroll Your Biggest Risk?
Payroll isn't just about writing checks
Payroll isn't just about writing checks. It's about federal taxes, state withholding, unemployment insurance, workers' comp, and filing deadlines.
One missed deadline or calculation error can lead to massive penalties. Why risk your business on administrative work?
The Cost of Errors
The IRS penalizes 1 in 3 small businesses for payroll errors.
- Late filing penalties up to 15%.
- Interest on back taxes.
- Potential audits for misclassification.

We use ADP Run to power our payroll services. ADP is the industry leader for a reason: they are robust, reliable, and compliant in all 50 states.
But we don't just set you up and leave. We have backend access via Accountant Connect, which means we can pull reports, fix issues, and ensure your payroll data flows perfectly into your tax returns and monthly financial statements.
The Solution

Common questions about our payroll services
Why ADP instead of QuickBooks Payroll?
We work with multiple providers, but we prefer ADP for its robust compliance features and the 'Accountant Connect' dashboard, which gives us superior visibility and control to help you manage your business.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the number of employees and pay frequency. Because we are an ADP partner, we can often secure wholesale pricing or special discounts for our clients.
Can you handle contractor payments (1099s)?
Yes. ADP handles both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, including filing the necessary forms at year-end.
What if I'm already using another payroll provider?
We can help you migrate to ADP mid-year. We'll handle the setup and ensure all year-to-date data is transferred correctly so your W-2s are accurate.
Do I have to be a monthly accounting client to use your payroll services?
Not necessarily, but it works best that way. When we handle both, we can ensure your payroll journal entries are booked correctly in your accounting software every month.
Payroll Done Right.
