Online Payroll

Payroll has two failure modes: the obvious one (someone gets paid wrong or late) and the expensive one (a filing is missed and the penalties arrive quietly). Full-service payroll removes both — your team is paid on schedule, every tax liability is filed on time, and the whole thing journals into your books without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

What's included

• Full-service runs on your schedule. Weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly — salary and hourly, including overtime, tips, bonuses, garnishments, and off-cycle checks.
• Direct deposit for your team, with self-service access to pay stubs.
• All tax filings handled. Federal, state, and local income tax withholdings, FICA, FUTA/SUTA — calculated, filed, and paid on time, every cycle.
• New-hire onboarding. Collections of I-9/W-4 details, additions to the next run, and benefits deductions set up correctly.
• Year-end forms. W-2s for employees and 1099s for contractors, produced and filed on deadline.
• Automatic journal entries. Every run lands in your books as a proper entry — wages, employer taxes, liabilities — so your bookkeeping stays reconciled without double work.

How it works

At onboarding we collect your team's details, ytd figures if you're mid-year, and your benefits deductions, then run a parallel payroll against your current process before we go live — so the first run you trust is the first run you run.

After that, each cycle is: you approve hours (or we pull them from your time tool), we process and file, your team gets paid, your books get updated. Changes — hires, raises, terminations, one-off bonuses — are a message to your team, not a form.

What it costs

Payroll is included in the Premium plan and up — see the pricing table for your expense tier (at ~$25k/month expenses, Premium is $675/mo, and it includes managed bill pay too). Paying W-2 employees or contractors without the rest? The free consultation will tell you honestly whether standalone payroll software is the better buy — we'd rather be useful than upsold.

Who it's for — and who it isn't

Built for owners paying W-2 employees or contractors who are tired of the every-two-week scramble: restaurants with tipped and hourly staff, construction crews that change by project, and any small business where "who does payroll" currently means "whoever has time."

If you have a single contractor and no employees, full-service payroll is probably overkill — we'll say so.

Payroll questions, answered

Do you handle multi-state employees? Yes — registrations, withholdings, and filings for each state your team works in.

Contractors too? Yes — payments tracked, 1099s produced at year-end, and a clear line kept between contractor and employee treatment so the IRS doesn't get a reason to look twice.

What if a filing is late because of you? Then it's on us — filings run on our watch, and the 30-day money-back guarantee applies to your first month while you find that out.

Does this include the bookkeeping? The payroll entries journal into your books automatically. If you want the whole ledger handled — reconciliation, close, reporting — that's Bookkeeping, and payroll slots into it cleanly.
