Payroll Management. Fully Handled.
New hire reports, quarterly payroll returns, W-2 filing, and automated payroll — all managed for you. Gusto subscription included.
Payroll Is the Engine of Your S-Corp Tax Strategy
As an S-Corp owner, your payroll isn't just a compliance requirement — it's the mechanism that makes your tax savings work. The split between your officer W-2 salary and your S-Corp distributions is exactly where SE tax savings are generated.
Get the salary too low and you risk an IRS "unreasonable compensation" audit. Set it too high and you erode the SE tax savings that made the S-Corp worthwhile in the first place. This balance needs to be calculated precisely — and revisited as your income changes.
We manage the entire payroll operation — from setup through quarterly filings and annual W-2s — so you never have to think about it.
