Payroll

Payroll Services in Contra Costa County.

Payroll mistakes are expensive — penalties from the IRS, EDD, and FTB can pile up fast. We run accurate payroll on your schedule, file every required tax return, and handle year-end W-2s and 1099s so you can focus on your team, not tax deadlines.

Who this is for

  • Businesses with 1 to 100 W-2 employees
  • Owners paying themselves through an S-corp
  • Companies that use 1099 contractors and need clean year-end reporting
  • Employers switching away from a big-box payroll provider they can't get on the phone

What's included

  • Weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly payroll processing
  • Direct deposit and printable checks
  • Federal, state (EDD), and local payroll-tax deposits and filings
  • New-hire reporting and workers' comp reporting integration
  • Quarterly 941 and DE 9/DE 9C filings
  • Year-end W-2s for employees and 1099-NEC/MISC for contractors
  • Owner reasonable-compensation planning for S-corps
