Payroll processing and reporting

Why payroll trips people up
Payroll looks simple until it isn't. A wrong setting can mean the wrong tax withheld, a missed filing, or wages recorded in a way that makes your profit and loss look off for the whole year.
I'm certified in QuickBooks Payroll, so your setup is right from the start and your payroll accounts reconcile every month along with everything else.
How payroll works with me
- Setup or review: If you're new to payroll, I set it up. If you already run payroll, I review your settings to make sure everything is right.
- Each pay period: You send hours or changes (a text is fine). I run payroll and confirm with you before it's submitted.
- Every month: I reconcile payroll liability accounts so what QuickBooks says you owe matches what's actually been paid.
- Year end: I make sure W-2 and 1099 information is accurate and ready.
Good fit for
- Small teams of employees on hourly or salary pay
- Restaurants and salons with tipped employees
- Owners who pay themselves through payroll
- Businesses switching from a payroll provider that never tied into their books
Just paying yourself? That still counts. If you have an S corporation, your CPA may recommend a reasonable salary through payroll. I can set that up and keep it running.
Questions I get a lot
What payroll system do you use?
I use QuickBooks Online Payroll, which connects directly to your QuickBooks Online books. I'm a certified QuickBooks Payroll ProAdvisor.
Does payroll cost extra?
Payroll is priced based on how many people you pay and how often. I'll include it in your quote so you know the full monthly cost up front. The QuickBooks Payroll subscription itself is billed by Intuit.
Can you handle payroll for tipped employees?
Yes. I track reported tips and make sure they're recorded properly in payroll and in your books, which matters a lot for restaurants and salons.
Do you file payroll taxes?
QuickBooks Online Payroll can pay and file federal and state payroll taxes automatically. I set that up, monitor that payments and filings go through, and reconcile the accounts every month.
