Hiring people shouldn’t mean drowning in paperwork.

Payroll that runs on time, new hires onboarded correctly, 1099s filed, benefits coordinated, and HR compliance handled. The administrative weight of having a team — carried by ours.

Sound familiar?

  • You’re about to hire your first employee and have no idea what forms, taxes, or insurance that triggers.
  • Payroll happens whenever you remember — sometimes Friday, sometimes Sunday night.
  • You’re honestly not sure whether your workers should be W-2 employees or 1099 contractors.
  • January means a scramble of 1099s, W-2s, and forms you only half remember from last year.

Every one of these has a right answer. Getting them wrong is expensive; handing them off is not.

A back-office HR department, sized for small business.

  • Payroll processing — on schedule, every time, with direct deposit, pay stubs, and payroll tax filings.
  • New-hire onboarding — offer paperwork, W-4, I-9, state new-hire reporting, all done correctly on day one.
  • Contractor management — W-9 collection and January 1099 filings without the scramble.
  • Worker classification guidance — W-2 vs 1099 decided by the rules, before it becomes an audit problem.
  • Benefits coordination — health, life, and disability options for you and your team, coordinated with our insurance side.
  • HR compliance basics — required posters, records, and policies that keep a small team out of big trouble.
  • Workers’ comp integration — payroll and coverage kept in sync, so audits reconcile cleanly.

How it works

1

Setup

We register your payroll accounts, classify your workers correctly, and load everyone into the system — including cleaning up anything done informally until now.

2

Payroll on rails

You approve hours; payroll runs on schedule with taxes withheld, filed, and deposited. Your people get paid the same day every period — which they notice.

Grows with your team

New hire? Termination? First benefits package? Each one is a message to us, not a research project for you.

Frequently asked questions

I’m hiring my first employee. What actually has to happen?
Federal and state payroll registrations, workers’ comp in most cases, W-4 and I-9 forms, state new-hire reporting, a payroll system, and a pay schedule. It’s about a dozen steps in a specific order — we run all of them as one setup project.
W-2 employee or 1099 contractor — who decides?
The IRS and your state do, based on how much control you have over the work — not on what’s cheaper. Misclassification is one of the most expensive small-business mistakes. We apply the tests to each role and document the reasoning.
Can you take over payroll I’m already running?
Yes — mid-year takeovers are routine. We migrate your history, verify prior filings, and fix anything out of order before it compounds.
Is this cheaper than hiring an office manager?
Dramatically. A part-time admin hire costs well over $20,000 a year before taxes and benefits. Our plans cover the same back-office work for a fraction of that, with a whole team instead of one person’s knowledge.
