Serving the greater East Bay Area including Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, CA
If you own or manage a business which serves the public, such as a law office, medical facility, or accounting firm, it’s important to focus on your clients and provide the highest possible level of service for them. However, many people who are in these roles often become bogged down with administrative work and other necessary business operations and lose focus on the business itself.
In order to avoid this loss of focus, it’s important to partner with the right people who can help handle the responsibilities which are necessary but don’t exactly move your business forward. The best example of this is payroll processing, which can be a drain on your time and resources.
Our team of local experts has been helping companies by offering professional payroll services for years. In this article, we will answer a few common questions about payroll services and hopefully provide some insight into the value we can bring to your organization.
What are Payroll Services?
If you’re new to running a business, it’s likely overwhelming to deal with payroll. Payroll goes far beyond just cutting checks, and a payroll services company handles everything from start to finish. Some areas a payroll services company handles include: calculating check amounts, withholding taxes, reporting to necessary agencies, providing valuable data, making tax payments, preparing tax forms, and much more.
Can’t I Process Payroll In-House?
Yes, a company can certainly process their own payroll. However, most businesses choose not to because it’s a tedious process which typically costs less to outsource, and outsourcing payroll typically will provide better results.
What Are the Benefits of Payroll Services for Business Owners?
For owners of professional services companies, their favorite benefit is the time they get back from outsourcing, and the renewed focus they and their team members can have on their goals. Outsourcing payroll allows your team to stay lean, and you can do what you do best and leave payroll to the experts. In addition, companies who outsource enjoy stress free tax compliance, the use of helpful payroll software integrations, and much more.
Do Payroll Services Benefit Employees?
While many business owners focus on the benefits payroll services can add for the company in general and the impact on the bottom line, payroll services also impact employees positively. They can expect to be paid on time every time, they can access important documents easily, and they can be paid in convenient methods like direct deposit or pay cards.
