Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Anoka, MN

Mark Undis CPA LLC, which also goes by Undis CPA, is a small certified public accounting firm in Anoka, Minnesota, a short drive from Coon Rapids. Its main clients are small businesses, along with the owners and families who rely on them. The firm says its mission is to be a trusted, valued advisor to that group.

For buyers comparing payroll providers, this is a local CPA practice that handles payroll as part of wider accounting, tax and advisory work. It is not a stand-alone payroll bureau.

Payroll and Accounting Services

Undis CPA offers to take payroll processing off the owner's plate. The goal is that staff are paid correctly and on schedule without the business doing more work itself. The firm's accounting work runs from simple bookkeeping for start-ups up to full general ledger and payroll support for larger companies. Payroll can therefore be handled by the same team that keeps the books and prepares the tax returns. Its listed services include:

• Payroll processing for businesses in Anoka and the surrounding area
• Bookkeeping and full general ledger accounting
• Tax preparation and year-round tax planning
• Part-time virtual CFO support
• Succession planning for owners getting ready to retire
• Business valuation
• QuickBooks ProAdvisor help

How the Firm Works With Clients

The firm presents itself as a long-term advisor rather than a seasonal tax preparer. Its business tax planning looks at what an owner is likely to owe and what can be done to reduce that bill. The virtual CFO service is for companies that need higher-level financial guidance but don't need, or can't pay for, a full-time finance executive.

For owners nearing retirement, the firm also helps with succession plans and business valuations. All of this lets payroll clients get broader financial advice from the same office.

Mark Undis has publicly stated that the firm has never paid or accepted referral fees or kickbacks from financial advisors, payroll companies or attorneys. He describes this as a way to keep its advice focused on what is best for the client. Buyers worried about conflicts of interest when a provider recommends outside payroll or financial products may find that worth noting.

Background and Team

The practice is led by Mark N. Undis, a licensed Minnesota CPA who serves as owner and managing member. The firm started as a solo practice. Starting in mid-2020 it added part-time staff, beginning with Kathy H., which let it offer a wider range of services.

Business listings describe it as a private firm with roughly one to ten employees, working from one office on East Main Street in Anoka. Local business owners have given it a number of recommendations on the Alignable business network. Directory listings also place it in a category for accounting, bookkeeping and payroll services for landscape businesses.

For Coon Rapids-area employers, Undis CPA may suit businesses that want payroll handled by a nearby CPA who also does their bookkeeping, taxes and planning. Companies that need a large payroll software platform or national service center would likely look elsewhere.
