Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Warren, MI

Partyka & Company, P.C. is a CPA firm located in Warren, Michigan. It works with both individuals and companies. Employers comparing payroll providers should note one thing up front. The firm offers payroll reporting as one element of its accounting work. It does not market a standalone payroll processing platform. That makes it best suited to small and mid-sized businesses that want payroll filings handled alongside bookkeeping, financial statements and tax compliance by a single accounting team.

Background

The practice began in 1985 as a tax return business in St. Clair Shores named Total Tax & Accounting. By 1996 many Michigan small business owners were asking for broader financial help. In response, the operation was reestablished as a public accounting firm based in Warren. Today it presents itself as a team of certified public accountants, tax specialists and consultants. Its stated focus is helping companies grow from their first days in business into established, profitable operations.

Payroll and Accounting Services

Payroll support sits within a larger set of recurring accounting engagements. Clients can draw on:

• Payroll reporting
• Bookkeeping and general ledger review
• Internal-use financial statements, reviews and compilations
• Fixed asset management and cash flow analysis
• Help choosing and setting up accounting software

Keeping payroll records within the same engagement as the general ledger and tax work can help owners reconcile wage data with their books and year-end filings. The firm also posts updates relevant to employers. Past examples include notices on Michigan minimum wage changes, covering the rate for tipped workers and the two-employee threshold. It has also published guidance on the beneficial ownership reporting rules under the Corporate Transparency Act.

Tax and Consulting Work

On the tax side, the team prepares returns and handles tax research and consulting. It also offers year-end planning, planning around major life events and multi-state filings, and it represents clients in IRS and state audits. Its advisory work goes beyond compliance. It interprets financial statements, supports owners in negotiations with banks and lenders, and advises on startups.

It also helps with entity choice for succession planning and evaluates internal controls. In addition, it can connect clients with outside technology specialists and assist with recruiting and interviewing key hires.

Industries and Working Style

The firm reports experience with clients in these sectors:

• Medical practices
• Law offices
• Retail
• Manufacturing
• Construction
• Trusts and fiduciary returns
• Nonprofit organizations

Partyka & Company emphasizes paperless processes. Clients exchange documents through online portals, including Liscio and TaxDome, and can settle invoices electronically. Prospective clients can reach the office by phone or through a web inquiry form. The firm says it typically replies to form inquiries within one business day. For a Warren-area business that prefers a local CPA relationship to a national payroll vendor, the firm offers payroll reporting tied directly to accounting, tax and advisory support.
