What this service is

Payroll is one of those things you do not want to get wrong. We run it on schedule, get the filings right, and reconcile every payroll directly into your monthly books so the labor line on your P&L is always trustworthy.

What's included

Everything in the engagement.

No surprise add-ons. No "you'll need to upgrade for that." A payroll engagement covers everything below at the same fixed monthly rate.

  • W-2 employee payroll

    Scheduled payroll runs for hourly and salaried employees, with direct deposit, tax withholding, and pay stubs.

  • 1099 contractor payments

    Tracked payments to independent contractors with the records you need for year-end 1099-NEC handoff to your tax preparer.

  • Tax filings

    Federal and New York State payroll taxes filed on schedule. No more last-minute scrambles or letters from the IRS.

  • New hire onboarding

    W-4s, I-9s, direct-deposit setup, and the rest of the paperwork that has to happen before someone gets their first paycheck.

  • Reconciled into the books

    Every payroll run flows into your monthly bookkeeping so your labor costs always tie out.

This is for you if
  • You're hiring your first W-2 employee and don't want to figure out payroll on your own
  • You pay 1099 contractors and want a paper trail that survives tax time
  • Your current payroll provider keeps making mistakes
  • You want payroll and bookkeeping under one roof
Not for you if
  • You have hundreds of employees across multiple states (we focus on small business)
  • You need PEO services like benefits administration and HR compliance

We'd rather refer you to a better fit than overserve the wrong client. Reach out anyway. We know good people for every situation.

What payroll platform do you use?
We use QuickBooks Payroll for clients already on QuickBooks Online. For specific needs we can also work with Gusto or similar platforms.
Do you handle multi-state payroll?
For a small number of remote employees outside of New York, yes. For complex multi-state operations we will help you scope a larger provider.
Can you fix payroll tax notices I have already received?
Yes. Bring them in during the consultation and we will untangle the backstory before we start running payroll going forward.
Do you file 1099-NEC forms?
We track 1099 contractor payments and hand the records to your tax preparer, who files the 1099-NECs.
