Payroll run correctly, in every state you operate in.
Payroll is one of the few functions where a mistake is immediately visible to every employee. We run it as a compliance-first process across federal, state, and local requirements.
Payroll processing
Recurring payroll runs, salaried, hourly, and contractor, including garnishments, benefits deductions, and multi-state employee handling for remote and distributed teams. Each run is reviewed against the prior cycle before submission, catching rate changes, missed hours, or duplicate entries before funds move rather than after.
Payroll tax registration & filing
State unemployment insurance and withholding tax account registration in every state you have employees, plus federal (941, 940) and state quarterly and annual payroll tax filings. Registrations are sequenced ahead of the first payroll run in a new state, so there's no gap between hiring and having a compliant filing account in place.
Year-end filings
W-2 preparation and issuance for employees, 1099-NEC preparation for contractors, and reconciliation of payroll tax accounts to the general ledger before year-end close. Reconciliation is run before forms are issued, so corrections happen before employees and contractors receive their copies rather than after.
New-hire & compliance reporting
New-hire state reporting, FLSA exempt/non-exempt classification review, and worker classification analysis (employee vs. independent contractor) to limit misclassification exposure. Classification review is documented at the time a role is created, not retroactively after a state or federal inquiry.
Software
Payroll run through Gusto, QuickBooks Online Payroll, or ADP depending on headcount and multi-state complexity, integrated with the books so payroll journal entries post automatically each cycle.
