From your first employee to your fiftieth: payroll processed on time, taxes deposited correctly, and quarterly filings handled — managed by the same CPA firm that does your books and your taxes.
Payroll is the one thing in a small business that absolutely cannot be late. Employees notice immediately, and the IRS notices soon after — payroll tax penalties are the fastest-growing kind of tax debt we see in Kendall. The usual cause isn’t dishonesty; it’s an owner trying to run payroll themselves between jobs, missing a deposit date, and then getting a letter that compounds every month.
The question that gets Kendall contractors, salons, and trucking companies in trouble. Florida and the IRS both look at control, not at what the paperwork says, and reclassification after an audit means back payroll taxes, penalties, and sometimes reemployment-tax assessments for years. We review how your workers are actually engaged and tell you plainly which ones need to be on payroll — before an auditor does.
A national payroll app will process payroll. It won’t notice that your S-Corp salary is unreasonably low, that your tip credit isn’t being claimed, that your subcontractor is really an employee, or that your RT-6 rate changed. We run payroll inside the same relationship as your bookkeeping and tax work, so the numbers flow to the books automatically and the planning actually happens. If you prefer to keep a payroll platform like Gusto or QuickBooks Payroll, we’ll manage it for you and handle the filings and the year-end.
A fixed monthly fee based on the number of employees and pay frequency, quoted up front. For most Kendall businesses with under 20 employees it is a fraction of what one missed deposit penalty costs.
It’s Florida’s version of state unemployment tax, paid by employers on the first $7,000 of each employee’s wages and reported quarterly on the RT-6. New Kendall employers typically start at a 2.7% rate; it adjusts over time based on your claims history. We register you and file it.
Yes. S-Corp owners who work in the business must take a reasonable salary through payroll before taking distributions. Skipping it is the most common reason S-Corps in South Florida get audited.
Yes. We import the year-to-date figures so W-2s are correct, and most transitions happen between pay periods with no gap.
Yes. We handle tip reporting, the tip credit against minimum wage, and the FICA tip credit on the business return — a credit many Kendall restaurants leave unclaimed.
