Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Delaware, OH

Joyce Ann Davies, CPA is an independent certified public accountant based in Delaware, Ohio. She serves individuals, small businesses, partnerships, corporations, trusts and non-profit organizations across Delaware County and the wider Central Ohio area. For employers comparing payroll providers, her practice is a hands-on, single-professional alternative to large payroll processing firms. Payroll work sits alongside a full range of tax and accounting support, all handled by one credentialed accountant.

Payroll and Payroll Tax Support

Payroll is one of the preparation services listed by the practice. Its tax offerings also cover payroll tax compliance on a recurring basis. Clients can arrange for their payroll tax filings and deposits to be handled every quarter, or every month where a business needs a tighter schedule. Because the same accountant also handles year-end closings and annual business returns, payroll records connect directly with the rest of a company's books and tax filings.

• Payroll services for small businesses and organizations
• Payroll tax reporting and payments on a monthly schedule
• Payroll tax reporting and payments on a quarterly schedule
• Answering notices from the IRS and local taxing authorities
• Estimated tax payments and amended returns

Broader Accounting and Tax Services

Beyond payroll, Davies compiles income statements and balance sheets monthly, quarterly or at year end. She can set up the books for a new business or close them out when an entity winds down, and she prepares depreciation schedules.

She files annual returns for individuals, partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, trusts, retirement programs and non-profits, including out-of-state filings and unclaimed funds reports. Trust reporting is a stated specialty, serving both trusts and their beneficiaries. Non-profits can obtain a compilation or review, which is often useful when applying for grants.

New business owners can get help understanding what their financial statements actually show.

Consulting covers budgeting, relocation, retirement distributions, administration of retirement plans and non-profit investments, consolidations, capital gains and losses, and lease-versus-buy decisions. She also offers to take part as a member of a corporate board of directors.

Background and Approach

Davies brings over two decades of senior financial experience across varied industries. She holds a bachelor's degree in business administration, earned at Upper Iowa University, and pursued graduate study in finance and marketing through the University of Dayton. Her career includes roles as a CPA partner, treasurer, chief financial officer and human resources manager.

She also led financial reporting at Franklin University as well as Marion Technical College. Her human resources and benefits background is relevant for employers, as are her skills in cash management, computerized financial systems, inventory systems and advising start-ups. She keeps current through continuing education in accounting and tax.

The practice runs on an as-needed model. Clients engage her only when they require a CPA and are billed solely for work done on their behalf. Meetings take place in her home office or at the client's own place of business. Client testimonials point to her dependability and organization during tax season. Locally, she has served on church and non-profit boards, including during the construction of the Orange Branch library in Delaware County.
