Take payroll off your growing to-do list

A missed deposit, an incorrect worker classification, or a late filing can create extra work and expense. Running payroll yourself also takes time away from your business. Our team manages the details and keeps your payroll connected to your broader financial picture.

How we help

Careful attention to every part.

Payroll processing and direct deposit

Scheduled payroll runs and direct deposit setup help your team get paid reliably each cycle.

Payroll tax deposits and filings

We calculate, deposit, and file federal and California payroll taxes, including quarterly and annual filings.

W-2 and 1099 preparation

Year-end employee W-2s and contractor 1099s are prepared and filed as part of your payroll support.

New hire and classification support

We help you organize new hire information and address worker classification questions in your payroll records.

Integrated bookkeeping

When we handle payroll and bookkeeping together, labor costs flow into your financial reporting without duplicate entry.
