Do you run payroll or oversee it?

Both. We handle end-to-end payroll runs for most clients through QuickBooks Payroll, Gusto, or ADP, and can also oversee an in-house processor and reconcile the entries to your books.

Can you register us as a new Washington employer?

Yes. We handle federal EIN, WA ESD (unemployment), L&I (workers' comp), and any local registrations required for your business.

How is payroll priced?

Setup starts at $500 as a one-time fee. Ongoing maintenance starts at $150/month and scales with employee count and pay frequency.

Do you code payroll to jobs for construction clients?

Yes. For contractors, we allocate labor cost to jobs so your project P&Ls include real payroll — not just materials and subs.
