Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Byram, MS

Overview

Numbers Group, LLC is an accounting firm based in Byram, Mississippi, just south of Jackson. It holds a Mississippi license and lists payroll as one of its core specialties. The firm works mainly with small and mid-sized business owners who would rather hand off wage processing and the related tax compliance than handle it in-house. Its practice also covers bookkeeping, tax work, QuickBooks support, forensic accounting and financial advisory services, so employers can keep several back-office functions with one provider.

Payroll Options

The firm does not offer a single fixed package. It presents three ways to engage, because employers differ in how much of the work they want to keep.

• Full-service processing: the firm runs each pay cycle and produces laser-printed checks on blank, secure stock that conforms to Federal Reserve micro-encoding standards. Direct deposit is included at no extra charge.
• After-the-fact payroll: businesses that write their own checks submit their manual records. The firm posts them to its system and handles the reporting and deposits.
• Online processing: clients enter hours and earnings through a secure web connection and can print checks on their own printer right away. Direct deposit is again included free.

All three options include federal and state tax reporting, EFTPS tax deposits, and monthly, quarterly and year-end reports. Clients also get W-2 and W-3 forms plus 1099s, tracking of vacation, sick and personal day accruals, preparation and submission of mandatory new hire reports, and ongoing upkeep of payroll records.

Compliance and Specialized Reporting

For employers responding to agency requests, Numbers Group prepares documentation for workers' compensation audits, unemployment claims, Social Security audits and child support audits. It also handles W-2/W-3 and 1099/1096 processing and helps complete federal and state registration paperwork. Union reports and certified payroll, which matter to contractors on public projects, are available as add-ons for an additional fee.

The firm's tax resolution practice addresses payroll tax problems, IRS liens, levies and wage garnishments. That work can be relevant for a business that has fallen behind on employment tax obligations.

How the Firm Works With Clients

The firm presents outsourcing as a way for owners to reclaim hours otherwise spent on payroll administration. It also points to lower overhead from not needing specialized staff, and to moving the burden of tracking changing federal, state and local rules onto accounting professionals. Pricing is quoted individually after the firm learns about a business and the services it needs. The initial consultation is free. Clients can exchange documents through a secure file transfer page and use a client portal.

Broader Capabilities

Payroll clients can draw on a wider range of services. These include small business accounting, reviews and compilations, cash flow management, internal controls, new business formation and support for non-profit organizations. A part-time CFO offering gives growing firms without a full-time finance executive help with budgeting, profitability analysis, banking liaison and oversight of accounting staff.

The firm also lists dedicated services for healthcare and dental practices, business valuation, litigation consulting and forensic investigations, as well as QuickBooks setup, training and tune-ups. For buyers comparing providers in the Jackson area, the firm stands out for pairing flexible payroll delivery models with in-house tax resolution and advisory work.
