Payroll

Small Business Payroll Services in San Jose

Payroll has to be right and on time, every time. As a Gusto partner, I set up and run payroll for small businesses so your team gets paid and your filings stay current. Because I also keep your books, payroll and QuickBooks always match.

What I Handle

  • Gusto setup for new employers, or a move from your current provider
  • Weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly payroll, submitted before each deadline. You can enter your team’s hours yourself and I’ll review them, or I’ll enter hours and time for you
  • New hires, terminations, raises and final paychecks, plus employee benefits (like health insurance and 401(k)) set up correctly in Gusto
  • Federal and California payroll taxes filed and paid through Gusto (941, 940, DE 9, DE 9C)
  • Year-end W-2s and 1099s for contractors
  • Gusto connected to QuickBooks with the account mapping set up correctly, so every payroll posts to the right accounts
  • Workers’ comp payroll reports and premium audits, by class code
  • Help with EDD notices and account questions

Why Payroll + Bookkeeping Together

  • One person who knows both sides, so wages, taxes and benefits land in the right accounts
  • No mismatches between payroll reports and your P&L
  • Fewer surprises at audit time, whether it’s EDD, workers’ comp or your CPA

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use Gusto?

Gusto is what I recommend and support. If you use another provider, ask me and we’ll talk it through.

Can you handle just payroll, without bookkeeping?

Yes. Payroll-only clients are welcome.

What does it cost?

My fee depends on the number of employees and how often you pay them. Gusto’s subscription is billed separately by Gusto. Because I work directly in your Gusto account, I can step in and help with any issues that come up.
