Payroll Support

Payday without the paperwork hangover.

Payroll itself runs through a payroll provider — that part's solved. What goes wrong is everything around it: runs recorded wrong in the books, payroll taxes lumped into one mystery expense, contractor payments untracked until January's 1099 panic. I coordinate your payroll provider with your books so wages, taxes, and contractor payments all land where they belong, every time.

What's included

  • Payroll runs recorded and mapped correctly in QuickBooks
  • Payroll tax liabilities tracked, not lumped

  • New-hire record checklists
  • Year-end W-2/1099 coordination with your provider and CPA

How it works

1

Align

We connect or configure your payroll provider and map every payroll item to the right account once.

2

Reconcile

Each run gets verified against the bank — wages, taxes, and fees — as part of the monthly close.

3

January, handled

Contractor totals are already clean, W-2s come from the provider, and nobody spends a weekend reconstructing payments.

Payroll Support questions

Do you actually run payroll?

Your payroll provider runs it; I make sure it's set up right, recorded right, and reconciled. That split keeps liability clean and costs down.

We pay some people cash — is that a problem?

It's a fixable one, and it's common. We get payments documented and tracked going forward so 1099 season and any audit questions stay boring.

Which payroll provider do you recommend?

For most small teams here, QuickBooks Payroll or Gusto — the deciding factors are headcount, contractor mix, and state filings. I'll give you a straight comparison, not a commission pitch.
