Why Combine Payroll and Bookkeeping Services?
Payroll is the largest single source of bookkeeping errors. When one company files the payroll returns and nobody records them correctly in the books, wages, withholding liabilities, and the ledger drift apart until a notice arrives. Combining payroll and bookkeeping services under one CPA firm means the filings and the books reconcile by default.
The common setup is a payroll processor that debits one lump sum, a bookkeeper who codes that lump to a single expense account, and a tax preparer who discovers in March that the payroll tax liability accounts never cleared. Nobody is doing anything obviously wrong, and the books are still incorrect. That is the problem this service exists to remove.
Payroll Problems We Fix
Most new payroll clients arrive with at least two of these.
Payroll Posted as One Lump Sum
Wages, employer taxes, and employee withholding all coded to a single account, so the liability balances never clear and the ledger overstates expense.
Payroll Tax Liability Accounts That Never Zero Out
Old balances sitting in payroll liabilities year after year, usually because deposits were recorded against the wrong account.
An EDD or IRS Payroll Notice
A notice about a late deposit, a missing quarterly return, or a mismatch between what was filed and what was paid.
S Corporation Owner With No W-2
Distributions taken all year with no reasonable compensation run through payroll, which affects the return, the basis calculation, and audit exposure.
Contractors Who Should Be Employees
California worker classification is strict. Misclassification is expensive, and it is far cheaper to correct before an audit than after.
Missed W-2 and 1099-NEC Deadlines
Both are due January 31. Late filing carries per-form penalties, and the amounts scale with how late the filing is.
What the Combined Service Covers
One flat monthly fee, quoted after a free review, covering both sides of the work.
Small Business Payroll Near Me, Run Properly
Pay runs coordinated on your schedule, with wages, employer taxes, and withholding recorded correctly as they happen.
Quarterly Form 941 and California DE 9 Filings
Federal and state payroll returns prepared and filed on time, and reconciled against what was actually deposited.
W-2 and 1099-NEC Year-End Filing
Both filed by the January 31 deadline, with contractor tracking maintained through the year instead of reconstructed in January.
Monthly Bookkeeping and Reconciliation
Every bank and credit card account reconciled monthly, with payroll tying cleanly into the general ledger.
S Corporation Reasonable Compensation Support
The wage-versus-distribution split documented and recorded so the return and the basis schedule hold up.
Payroll Cleanup and Catch-Up
Prior-period entries rebuilt so liability accounts clear and the quarterly returns agree with the books.
