Benefits of Our Services
Support:
You and your CPA get a dedicated, experienced payroll professional you can contact by phone, Zoom, or email.
We Work with You on Every Detail:
We provide you and your CPA reports, answer your questions, and ensure correct paycheck calculations based on the wages and tax withholdings your CPA wants. We accurately make any health insurance, retirement, and other adjustments needed.
Payroll Tax Payments and Reporting:
Rest easy. We take care of all federal, state, and local tax payments, report filings and W-2s for you and your CPA.
Setup:
Get started any time of year. You and/or your CPA simply provide us a few pieces of information, and we’ll do the rest. This includes, if needed, registering for state and local tax accounts as well as setting up online access with tax agencies for us to provide tax account management and monitoring.
Compliance:
(Payroll Done by the Book)
As an S-Corp, you are required to demonstrate proper treatment as an employee and follow employee regulations. We apply DOL and IRS regulations to ensure all employee practices and paperwork are in order, including W-4, I-9, workers’ comp waiver, a monthly or more frequent pay schedule is followed, and more.
S-Corp Payroll Made Easy
Option 1 – Hands Free Payroll, Auto-Pay:
We process your payroll on a monthly basis, automatically. This requires the same wage amount each month, an end of month pay date, and changes must be minimal and communicated well in advance of pay day.
Option 2 - Full Control Payroll:
Similar to online banking, you can adjust the pay dates and amounts of wages, bonuses, and even transfer distributions to your personal bank account. You can also easily pay your assistant’s wages (if applicable). All the while, we are monitoring compliance, processing payroll and taxes, and we are here for assistance.
Direct Deposits:
You will no longer need to write checks or transfer payroll funds between your business and personal accounts. Per DOL (Dept of Labor) regulations, we ensure paychecks are processed on at least a monthly pay schedule. If it was done prior, there’s now no need for your CPA to back into numbers and create, essentially, a fake paycheck every quarter or end of year, and, in so doing, be at risk in an audit.
Yearend Processing:
We send you and your CPA a yearend checklist that we review with you and your CPA to ensure everything is accounted for as we close out your payroll year. At your CPA’s direction, we make all necessary adjustments, including health insurance, retirement, personal use of company car, and anything else.

How an S-Corp Works
The Basics:
Having a W-2 paycheck, rather than only self-employment income, helps with getting loans, refinancing your mortgage, increasing your credit card limit, etc.
Huge Tax Savings:
With NO S-Corp, besides federal and state income tax, you also pay 15.3% self-employment tax (FICA tax) on ALL your net taxable income.
With an S-Corp, you only pay 15.3% FICA tax on your officer wages and NO FICA tax on your net taxable income after officer wages.
Depending upon your particular situation, that is a savings of $1530 for every $10,000 of net taxable income you make. For example, a taxable net income of $40,000 would be a savings of $6120. Not bad.
Example of How the Numbers Work:
$100,000 Net Taxable Income before Officer Wages expense
- $60,000 Officer Wages
= $40,000 Net Taxable Income
15.3% (excluded FICA tax) x $40,000 = $6120 in tax savings
