Payroll, handled

Payroll done right, every pay period

Payroll looks simple until a deposit is late, a form is filed with the wrong numbers or an employee is set up incorrectly — and then it becomes an expensive distraction. We take the day-to-day processing off your plate and make sure every federal and Georgia deadline is met.

Our team includes a Certified Payroll Specialist who manages your payroll from setup to year-end: calculating pay and withholding, running direct deposits, delivering e-paystubs, depositing payroll taxes and filing quarterly and annual returns. Whether you have one employee or fifty — and whether you use our system, ADP or Gusto — payroll just happens, correctly.

FAQ

Payroll questions

The details business owners ask about most.
Can you take over our payroll in the middle of the year?

Yes. We gather your year-to-date payroll records so W-2s and quarterly returns stay accurate, then take over starting with your next pay period.

Which payroll platforms do you work with?

We run payroll on professional payroll software and also work with ADP and Gusto. If you’re happy with your current platform, we can manage it for you.

Do you handle Georgia payroll taxes?

Yes. Georgia withholding deposits and returns, Georgia Department of Labor unemployment reports, federal tax deposits and quarterly Form 941 filings are all included.

We already have payroll tax penalties. Can you help?

Yes. We review the notices, request penalty relief where you qualify and set up a plan to resolve any balance. Learn more about IRS problem resolution.

Do you prepare 1099s for contractors?

Yes. We collect W-9s, track payments and file Forms 1099-NEC for the contractors you pay — a common need for trucking companies and service businesses.

How do employees get their pay stubs and W-2s?

Employees receive secure electronic pay stubs and W-2s they can access anytime, and you receive employer pay records after every payroll run.
