Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Kaysville, UT

FJ & Associates, PLLC is a CPA and accounting practice based in Kaysville, Utah. It has a second Utah office in Roy and further locations in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Westerly, Rhode Island. The firm is licensed in Utah and several other states. It handles payroll administration alongside tax, bookkeeping, advisory and audit work. For employers comparing payroll providers, this means wage processing can connect directly to the books and returns kept by the same team.

Payroll services

The firm runs payroll for businesses of many sizes, including owners with just one person on staff. Its work goes beyond gross-to-net calculations. It also takes on the compliance tasks that often cause trouble for small employers:

• Recurring payroll runs, including deposits and withdrawals
• Federal, state and local payroll tax filings, plus quarterly and annual returns
• Year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation
• Reporting of newly hired staff
• Court-ordered wage garnishments, such as child support or debt withholding
• Configuration of voluntary deductions for retirement plans, insurance premiums and medical costs

Clients are set up on an online payroll platform that owners can reach remotely to follow activity in real time. The system automatically computes overtime, holiday pay, shift differentials, Social Security and benefit deductions. Workers receive their own self-service portal for entering time and checking pay details, which helps them catch discrepancies early.

How onboarding works

Setup starts with choosing a pay frequency that fits the rules of the employer's state. The team then gathers taxpayer identification numbers and assigns each worker an appropriate classification to avoid misclassification penalties. It also configures withholding so that later filings reconcile cleanly.

FJ & Associates presents this work as a way to keep employers within wage-and-hour rules and to limit legal exposure when hiring or letting staff go. Clients work with a consistent group of staff, and the firm notes that flat-rate engagements are available.
