Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in St John, VI

TCB Tax & Accounting Services, LLC is the U.S. Virgin Islands trade name under which Robert E. Bailey, CPA, LLC operates on St. John. The practice is led by Robert E. Bailey and is anchored by a main office in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with the St. John operation serving island clients.

For buyers comparing payroll providers, it fits the profile of a small, owner-led accounting practice that handles payroll alongside tax, bookkeeping and planning work, rather than a high-volume payroll processing bureau.

Payroll and accounting work

Payroll appears in several places on the firm's service menus. For Virgin Islands clients, the accounting offering lists computerized payroll processing next to setting up accounting systems for newly formed businesses, preparing business tax filings for sales and use and business property, and compiling personal financial statements. The firm profile also names payroll reporting as a core service.

On the main office side, the firm describes its payroll role as helping growing employers, whose administrative load rises as headcount increases, put sound controls in place so their payroll runs accurately and efficiently.

• Computerized payroll processing and payroll reporting
• Payroll control and system design for growing employers
• Bookkeeping and monthly write-up work
• Accounting software selection, setup, support and training
• Business and individual tax preparation and planning
• Excise and other local tax services in the USVI
• Representation before taxing agencies, including IRS and state audits
• Entity selection, succession, estate, retirement and financial planning

Who they serve and how they work

The practice works with both individuals and businesses, and it highlights start-up support for new ventures, from choosing a legal structure to getting books and software configured. Because payroll is offered within a broader engagement, an employer can keep wage processing, quarterly and annual reporting, tax returns and financial statements with one advisor.

The firm presents its approach as relationship-based and stresses that timely, accurate financial information for clients is a commitment it will not compromise. It also points to ongoing spending on continuing professional education and current technology as part of how it keeps its work reliable.

Credentials and an important limitation

Robert E. Bailey practices as a CPA through his Colorado firm. The website states plainly that he does not hold CPA registration in the U.S. Virgin Islands and therefore does not offer, in the territory, any service that requires an active USVI CPA license; his island work is conducted through the registered TCB Tax & Accounting Services entity instead.

Buyers who need attest or other licensed CPA services locally should factor this in, while those seeking payroll, bookkeeping and tax support are within the scope described.

Client resources

The site supplements its services with an information center, client newsletters and a library of online financial calculators. Several of these relate directly to payroll and compensation, including tools for estimating payroll deduction changes, hourly paychecks, the gross pay needed to reach a target net amount, self-employment tax and flexible spending accounts. For small employers on St.

John and elsewhere in the Virgin Islands, the firm offers a combined payroll, tax and advisory relationship with a mainland CPA practice behind it.
