We run payroll on schedule, handle all onboarding and offboarding, manage updates, and deliver reporting — you stay focused on your business.

Why businesses choose managed payroll

You're spending too much time on payroll admin +

Every payroll run means logging into Gusto, verifying hours, checking contractor invoices, and making sure nothing slipped. We take that off your plate entirely — payroll runs on time without you touching it.

Employee changes keep piling up +

New hires, address changes, benefit updates, departures — each one requires steps inside Gusto. We handle every update so your records stay accurate and compliant.

Your payroll process needs a reset +

Maybe you inherited a messy Gusto setup, or things have drifted over time. We audit your account, clean up inconsistencies, and put a reliable process in place going forward.

You want payroll and accounting in one place +

Payroll doesn't exist in a vacuum — it flows into your financials, your cash flow, and your tax reporting. As your managed finance partner, we make sure payroll and accounting stay in sync.

Payroll FAQ

Do I need to already be on Gusto? +

No. If you're not on Gusto yet, we can help you get set up. If you're already using Gusto, we'll pick up right where you are.

What payroll schedules do you support? +

All of them — weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly. We configure and run payroll on whatever schedule works for your business.

Do you handle contractors too? +

Yes. We manage contractor setup, payment coordination, and 1099 reporting alongside your W-2 employees — all inside Gusto.

Can you manage payroll as a standalone service? +

Yes. While many clients pair payroll management with our full accounting and CFO services, we also offer payroll administration as a standalone engagement.

Flat monthly fee based on your team size and payroll complexity. No hourly bills, no surprises. Schedule a call and we'll put together a custom quote.
