The Challenge

This Florida-based CPA firm was struggling with:

  • High Payroll Volume: Over 50 clients across industries, each with varying payroll cycles.
  • Compliance Risk: Late filings and misclassified workers led to notices.
  • Burnout During Quarter-End: Internal staff was overwhelmed during filing seasons.

Our Solution

We became their outsourced payroll engine:

Centralized Payroll Operations

  • Used Gusto and ADP to process bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly payrolls.
  • Set up classification checks for 1099 vs. W-2 compliance.

Filing & Support

  • Filed quarterly payroll taxes on behalf of clients.
  • Generated and e-delivered all W-2s and 1099s before deadlines.

After just six months of working with us, the business experienced tangible improvements:
