Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Galena, OH

Mattison Yoder CPAs is a locally owned certified public accounting firm based in Galena, Ohio, a short drive from Delaware. Its clients are mostly owners of small companies along with individual tax filers. Many are in central Ohio communities such as Sunbury, Westerville, Powell and Delaware, but the firm also works with clients in other states.

Payroll is one of its core offerings, alongside bookkeeping, tax work and advisory support. That mix suits employers who want wages processed by the same team that maintains their books and prepares their returns.

Payroll services

For employers, the firm runs recurring pay cycles with the goal of getting staff paid correctly and on schedule. Its payroll offering covers:

• Regular pay runs with direct deposit to employees
• Payroll tax filings and ongoing compliance work
• Year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation
• Administration of employee benefits
• Tracking of hours and attendance

Payroll also connects to the firm's broader business management work, where it is paired with a review of labor costs. This shows owners how wages affect their profitability. A dedicated payroll specialist with more than three decades of administrative experience handles the day-to-day processing, so clients can stay focused on running their operations.

How the firm works with clients

Rather than acting as a once-a-year tax preparer, the firm describes its role as a back-office CFO that stays involved throughout the year. Its business management support includes:

• Budgeting and cash flow forecasting
• KPI tracking and financial statements
• Reviews of cost of goods sold and credit card processing fees
• Quarterly tax projections

New companies can get help setting up QuickBooks or another accounting platform. The firm also compares LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp and partnership structures, evaluates 401(k), SEP-IRA and SIMPLE retirement plans, and handles early registrations such as obtaining an EIN. Clients who prefer remote service can meet by secure video and sign documents electronically. The firm also uses encryption, multi-factor authentication and secure portals for sharing files.

Industries served

• Consultants, agencies and other professional service providers
• Online retailers needing multi-channel reconciliation and multi-state sales tax work
• Nonprofits, including fund accounting and Form 990 preparation
• Medical practices and other healthcare providers
• Real estate investors and developers, including 1031 exchange support

Background and team

The firm traces its roots to 1981 and has served some clients, including through a predecessor practice, for several decades. Michael Fitzpatrick, CPA, owns the firm. He holds an accounting degree from Penn State, joined as a staff accountant, became firm manager in 2020 and took ownership in 2023.

He belongs to the AICPA, the Ohio Society of CPAs and the Sunbury Chamber of Commerce. Bryce Henkle, CPA, serves as Director of Business Client Services and brings about fifteen years of experience. Client manager Jeana Borkholder has been with the firm for more than twenty years and leads client onboarding and software support.

The wider staff includes accountants, a client accounting specialist and administrative support. For buyers, the main distinction is a small, CPA-led team that combines payroll with bookkeeping, tax and advisory services under one roof.
