Payroll Support FAQs
Do you handle payroll tax filings?
We provide payroll support by assisting with data entry and reconciliation within your payroll software. While we help organize the data, actual tax filings are typically handled through the software's automated service or your CPA.
Which payroll platforms do you support?
We primarily work with QuickBooks Payroll and Gusto. If you use a different platform, we can discuss how we can integrate our data entry processes into your specific workflow.
How often is payroll data reconciled?
We reconcile payroll transactions monthly to ensure that all payments, taxes, and fees match your bank records and are correctly categorized in your general ledger.
Do you assist with worker compensation audits?
We can help provide the necessary reports and organized payroll data required for an audit. Please note that bookkeeping services do not constitute legal or audit representation.
Is payroll support included in basic bookkeeping?
Payroll support is typically an add-on service. The cost is determined by the number of employees, frequency of pay periods, and the complexity of your benefits and deductions.
