Payroll Services in Philadelphia

Payroll looks simple until it isn’t: federal deposits on one schedule, state and local withholding on another, city wage tax rules layered on top, and penalties waiting on every missed date. Our payroll service takes the whole process off your desk — run by the same firm that handles your books and taxes.

What’s Included

• Payroll processing — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly runs with direct deposit and pay stubs.
• Tax withholding and deposits — federal, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and local withholdings calculated and remitted on time, with employment tax filings (941, 940, state and local returns) prepared and submitted.
• Year-end forms — W-2s for employees and 1099s for contractors, filed and distributed.
• Philadelphia wage tax compliance — registration and remittance under the City of Philadelphia’s rules for resident and non-resident employees.
• New-hire reporting and setup — state registrations and onboarding paperwork handled from the first employee.

W-2 or 1099? Get Classification Right

Worker misclassification is one of the most commonly audited payroll issues, and the back taxes and penalties are painful. We review roles against the IRS’s worker-classification standards before problems arise — particularly important in industries like construction and trucking where contractor arrangements are common.

Payroll That Talks to Your Books

Because payroll runs inside the same firm as your bookkeeping and tax preparation, every payroll run posts to your books automatically and year-end reconciliation is a non-event — no shuttling reports between vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we switch payroll providers mid-year?

Yes — we handle mid-year conversions routinely, importing year-to-date figures so W-2s come out right.

Do you handle multi-state payroll?

Yes. Pennsylvania and New Jersey are our core, and we manage withholding for employees in other states as your team grows.

What does payroll service cost?

Pricing scales with headcount and frequency. Contact us for a quote — most small businesses find it costs far less than the time it recovers.
