Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Oak Lawn, IL

Aldom Professional Accounting & Tax Services LLC is an accounting firm in Oak Lawn, Illinois, that pairs payroll processing with bookkeeping, tax preparation and business formation support. The firm was founded in 2010 and works with both individuals and business owners. Its clients range from companies still in the start-up phase to more established operations. Because the firm uses modern technology, it can take on clients in most U.S. states, not only in the southwest Chicago suburbs.

Payroll Services

Employers who want to hand off payroll go through a structured program that begins with a one-time setup. During onboarding the team configures the company and its workers in the payroll system. It also enrolls the business in EFTPS for federal tax deposits and opens the Illinois employment tax account.

After setup, processing is billed as a flat monthly fee based on pay frequency. Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly and quarterly cycles are available. Standard packages assume direct deposit and cover a base headcount, with per-employee add-ons for larger staffs. Every package includes quarterly payroll filings. Year-end W-2 preparation and annual compliance are handled as a separate yearly service.

Optional extras include:

• Workers' compensation administration
• Monthly HR support
• Time and attendance tracking
• Company and employee onboarding at setup
• Quarterly payroll returns and year-end W-2 work

Beyond Payroll

Payroll is one part of a broader back-office offering. Monthly bookkeeping and accounting packages are designed to stand in for an in-house finance function. The firm also prepares individual and business tax returns and provides tax planning. It represents clients before the IRS on audits, levies, payment plans, penalty abatement, offers in compromise and IRS notices. Business clients can get help with:

• Consulting
• EIN applications
• Illinois tax account registration
• Sales tax filings
• 1099 preparation
• S corporation reasonable compensation reports
• Registered agent service

Existing clients receive notary services at no charge.

Payroll and Related Business Services

Payroll is one of the firm's core business offerings. The firm describes its payroll work as tailored to what each employer actually requires. The aim is to free owners from administrative chores so they can concentrate on operating their companies.

The firm sets up QuickBooks, trains users, answers questions and performs file tune-ups, which can help keep payroll and general ledger records aligned. Individual clients can also get personal financial, retirement and estate planning, along with elder care assistance.

How They Work With Clients

A distinguishing feature of the firm is its team structure. Every client is assigned both an accountant and a partner, so more than one person knows the account when questions come up.

Documents can be exchanged through a secure, password-protected client portal (ShareFile) and a SecureSend page for delivering files directly to staff.

The firm describes itself as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor practice. It installs the software, builds charts of accounts, and trains and supports client staff. It can either check entries a business records on its own or take over data entry and reconciliation entirely, on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual cycle.
