Your Payroll Tech Is Only As Good As The Team Supporting It

There are a lot of tasks that business owners must complete to keep a business running. That list is long, and always includes payroll. A payroll partner’s responsibility is to guide you on the ever-changing policies as well as handle all the calculations, deductions, and taxes for you. Payroll partners decrease your risk with the IRS, and ensure you have an easier time getting your employees paid. While your employees may not realize the depth of payroll processing, there is a lot involved, especially when it comes to payroll tax filings and employer/employee related deductions, federal and state income tax withholding, and FICA. It can become even more daunting keeping up with PTO requests, sick leave, FMLA, and more. Read our Paychecks 101 document.

We help with both! We do all payroll processing, tax filing, and year end administration for W2 employees. We can also track for time on your 1099 contractors as well as process their payments if you want to make those payments via direct deposit.

Our technology makes it easy to toggle between multiple FEINs and we can even break up your organization by locations and departments, which makes it easy to grant permissions to managers and supervisors to have access to one specific location or FEIN but not have permissions in the other. From a payroll tax standpoint, our team will help you classify employees that work in multiple locations across your organization for correct tax filings as well as accurate reporting data.

Our goal is to streamline as many of your systems into one as possible for ease-of-use and accurate data, however sometimes employee time needs to be tracked somewhere else, and that is okay! In these cases, we will either find an integration to pull time keeping data for payroll or we will help you set up a custom import/export file for payroll processing. 

Asking employees to manually track their time on time sheets means that you do not actually know if your employee is on the job when they say they are on the job. Numerous data interfaces make data collection for employee punches time consuming and difficult to collate for accurate payroll and reporting. Time & Attendance tracking in our system eliminates the manual data entry for payroll processing, but more importantly eliminates time theft, buddy punching, and enables you to have an automatic PTO and sick time policies prebuilt into your system for easy scheduling and approvals by managers and supervisors. 

You can process your payroll from your operating account; however, we recommend setting up a separate payroll bank account for security reasons. In the event that you experience fraud, a bookkeeping error, or a bank processing error, it's easier to find payroll related discrepancies if payroll is run from a separate account. One way to reduce your risk is to require direct deposit or paycard options for your employees instead of offering printed checks. Some states allow you to mandate direct deposit, while some do not. 

Yes! We can still print & deliver printed checks to your office; however, we really recommend offering direct deposit and pay card options to your employees! It is cheaper on you as an employer, plus it allows your employee to get their money faster than a traditional check. 

We carry liability insurance, cyber, errors and admission insurance as well as general liability. We are also BBB accredited, certified through the TN State of Accountancy and the Tennessee Secretary of State.
