Small business team reviewing payroll together

Payroll services included

Payroll processing

Hourly, salaried and commission pay runs on your schedule, with pay stubs and direct deposit handled by the platform.

Payroll tax filings

Federal and Georgia withholding, unemployment and the quarterly and annual forms, filed from the platform on time. A missed filing is the most expensive thing in payroll, and the easiest to avoid.

Contractor (1099) payments

Contractors paid and tracked through the year so the 1099s in January are a report, not a reconstruction.

Employee onboarding support

New-hire paperwork, Georgia new-hire reporting and the platform set-up for each person who joins.

Reconciled into the books

Every payroll run posts to the right accounts in QuickBooks Online or Xero and is reconciled at month end. Payroll and bookkeeping by the same person means no gap between them.

Gusto, ADP and Intuit Workforce

Certified ProBooks is an ADP Accountant Connect certified partner and can pass along 10% off Gusto plus a $200 incentive, and an Intuit Workforce discount for monthly bookkeeping clients.

When payroll usually lands on this desk

The first employee. That is the moment an Acworth or Kennesaw owner discovers that payroll has its own calendar of deadlines, state and federal, and that none of them wait for a busy month to end. The second common moment is the first payroll notice from the Georgia Department of Revenue or the IRS, which is nearly always a filing that was late rather than wrong. Both are fixable, and both are easier to prevent than to repair.

Payroll for a crew of three in a trade, a shop with part-timers near Main Street, or a nonprofit with a small staff all run the same way here: on schedule, filed, reconciled.

Payroll on its own, or with the books

Most clients pair payroll with Remote Bookkeeping Services, because a payroll run that nobody reconciles is a payroll run the books eventually disagree with. Payroll on its own is available when your books are already in good hands.

Questions people ask before they book

Which payroll platform should we use?

The one that fits how you pay people and what you already run. Gusto suits most small teams; ADP suits businesses that want a larger provider behind them; Intuit Workforce fits tightly with QuickBooks Online. You get a recommendation, not a default.

Do you handle contractors as well as employees?

Yes. Contractor payments are tracked through the year and the 1099s are filed in January.

We are behind on payroll filings. Can that be fixed?

Yes. Late filings are brought current and any notice is answered. The sooner it starts, the smaller the penalties.

Is the pricing per employee?

Platform fees are usually per employee per month and are set by Gusto, ADP or Intuit. The service fee for running and reconciling payroll is quoted after the free consultation, based on your headcount and pay schedule.
