Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Sturtevant, WI

415 CPAs is a certified public accounting firm in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, in Racine County. It works with individuals, small businesses, growing companies and nonprofits in the Racine and Mount Pleasant area. Payroll is one of several services the firm offers business clients, together with bookkeeping, tax work and advisory support. That makes it a good fit for employers who want payroll handled by the same team that keeps their books and files their returns.

Payroll Services

The firm offers outsourced payroll mainly to small and mid-sized employers. These are companies big enough that payroll has become complex, but too small to justify hiring a payroll specialist or running their own payroll system. Each client gets its own payroll specialist, who manages every pay cycle from start to finish. The firm also tracks changes in federal, state and local payroll rules, so the employer doesn't have to keep up with them. Its published payroll offerings include:

• Direct deposit and electronic funds transfer to employees
• Printing of payroll checks
• Payroll tax compliance, including electronic filing and tax deposits
• Payroll reports broken out by employee or by department
• Year-end W-2, W-3 and 1099 forms
• Monthly, quarterly and annual payroll tax reports written in plain terms
• Remittance of third-party withholdings like insurance deductions

Clients get access to an online business and payroll portal for exchanging documents and information with the firm.

Related Accounting and Advisory Work

Beyond payroll, the firm covers most of the financial back office for a small business. Its bookkeeping work includes accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, financial reports and setup of modern accounting apps. It also installs QuickBooks, which includes designing a chart of accounts and configuring payroll within the software.

Owners who want senior-level financial guidance can use the part-time CFO service for forecasting, cash flow management and profitability planning. The firm also offers business advisory work, financial planning, succession planning, new business formation and business tax preparation. Tax services include tax planning plus estate and trust returns, and individual returns are prepared as well.
