Frequently Asked Questions
When should I contact an accountant?
As soon as you start to think about your business, an accountant can help you take the next steps. We can discuss your business's organization, tax purposes and operations, along with target pricing and profit margins.
How can I know which accountant is right for me?
Does your accountant return your calls? Do you feel comfortable asking them a question? Do you feel heard? With the right accountant, the answers should be a resounding "Yes!"
I only have one or two employees; shouldn’t I just do my payroll manually?
Paying your employees is only the beginning. There are payroll tax deposits, quarterly reports, W-2s, changing tax tables, child support and garnishment orders, workman's compensation audits, unemployment audits, employee benefits. The list goes on and on. For as little as $70 per month you can remove the stress of having to process payroll.
When is the best time to sign up for payroll?
Anytime you have employees is a good time. Whether you are adding your first employee or looking to make a change in your payroll processing there is no need to wait for a new year or a new quarter. We’ll load your current payroll history at any time during the year at no charge. All you have to do is send us the payroll history and we’ll take it from there.
How often can I run payroll, and do I have to pay a separate fee for each payroll?
Payroll can be run as often as you need. The fee is based on the number of employees not the frequency of the payroll. For example, the fee for three employees paid weekly is the same as the fee for three employees paid once a month.
When and how are the payroll taxes paid?
Payroll taxes are automatically calculated, withheld and paid, accurately and on time.
How can my employees get paid?
Your employees can be paid directly, using direct deposit, or you can print pay checks yourself. Your employees can access their payroll paystubs online or via our mobile app.
What do I do when I hire a new employee?
We handle the required reporting of payroll new hires to the government on your behalf. All you have to do is provide us accurate information about your new employee.
Can I avoid paying employees overtime by paying them a salary?
Only certain employees can be exempt from overtime and minimum wage. The U.S. Department of Labor has issued a Fact Sheet.
