Payroll services for business owners

Payroll work we can scope

The engagement defines pay frequency, headcount, filing responsibilities and funding deadlines.

• Payroll calculations and direct deposit.
• Federal employment tax returns and year-end W-2 reporting.
• Florida reemployment tax and new-hire reporting where applicable.
• Reconciliation of payroll reports to the general ledger.

S-Corp owner payroll

When a shareholder provides services to an S corporation, reasonable compensation needs to be evaluated. Payroll is not optional merely because an owner also takes distributions. Other entity types follow different owner-pay rules.

Employees and contractors

Worker classification depends on the working relationship, not simply on whether someone receives a W-2 or 1099. Collect vendor information early. For 2026 payments, the general federal nonemployee-compensation reporting threshold increased to $2,000; exceptions and payment-method rules can affect reporting.

Already using a payroll provider?

We can coordinate records from your existing provider instead of replacing a system that works. Confirm who submits returns, makes deposits, handles notices and maintains employee records.

Bring these records

A current payroll register, recent employment tax returns, benefit details, state account information and the next pay date help define the work. Use the agreed secure document-sharing process for employee information.
