Payroll Services for Small Businesses in Kentucky
Payroll for small businesses in Southeastern Kentucky from a licensed CPA: processing on your schedule, federal and Kentucky tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s and 1099s, and new hire setup. Hourly crews, salaried staff, and contractors.
I run payroll for small businesses in Southeastern Kentucky, on whatever schedule you pay: weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Deposits go in on time, quarterly filings go out on time, W-2s and 1099s show up in January, and new hires get set up correctly. Payroll is where small mistakes cost the most, and it's the first thing I take over for most business clients.
What goes wrong with do-it-yourself payroll
A deposit a few days late. A quarterly return filed with the wrong number. A worker paid as a contractor who should have been an employee. Overtime calculated wrong for an hourly crew. Each of those brings a penalty letter, and the letters don't stop coming until someone fixes the underlying problem. I've cleaned up a lot of payroll messes, and every one of them was cheaper to prevent.
What my payroll service includes
Payroll processed on your schedule with direct deposit or checks. Federal and Kentucky withholding deposits and unemployment. Quarterly 941s and Kentucky filings. New hire reporting. W-2s for employees and 1099s for contractors in January. Multi-state payroll if you have people living across the Tennessee or Virginia line. And a review at the start of who should be on payroll versus who's really a contractor.
Switching from a payroll company
If you're already with a national payroll service and tired of the fees or the phone tree, I can take over mid-year and bring the year-to-date records across so the W-2s come out right. You get a person who knows your business instead of a ticket number.

Yes. I've run payroll for construction, mining, and service crews with hourly pay, overtime, and multiple job sites.
