Payroll
Runs executed on time, journals posted to the ledger, and commissions calculated before anyone has to ask. Payroll stops being the day of the month you dread.
QUOTED ON SCOPE
On the call
Payroll cost follows headcount and complexity rather than transaction volume, so we scope it rather than publish a rate.

Five stages, and the ledger is right before anyone is paid.
Payroll that reconciles after the fact is payroll that has already gone out wrong. The check happens before the run, not after it.
What you have at the end.

WHO DOES THIS WORK
A named senior accountant
ACCA-qualified · Payroll department · Reviewed by Quality Assurance
Payroll runs on Gusto and MyPayee alongside direct bank execution, and every run is reviewed before submission rather than reconciled afterwards. Access is limited to assigned personnel and removed when they change, and the same approval rules that govern supplier payments govern payroll.
Quoted on scope, not published as a rate.
We will not put an hourly rate on this page, because payroll cost follows headcount, engagement type and jurisdiction rather than transaction volume. Tell us the shape of your workforce on the call and you get the number.
Price your ongoing bookkeeping insteadQuestions we get asked.
Gusto and MyPayee, alongside direct execution through the bank where that is how you already run. We reconcile in the accounting system rather than treating the payroll platform as the record.
Yes. Multi-state is where most payroll errors live, and it needs deliberate handling rather than being treated as a bigger version of single-state. We will walk through where your people are on the call.
We prepare, reconcile and review the payroll position and flag anything approaching a deadline. Where filing sits depends on your platform and your jurisdiction, so we agree that explicitly at onboarding rather than leaving it assumed.
Yes: onboarding, verifying that the work was delivered before payment, milestone management, and payment through whichever rail you use. Mixed workforces are the normal case rather than the exception.
We calculate them each cycle from whatever the agreement says, and we would rather rebuild that calculation properly once than inherit a spreadsheet only one person understands.
Only the people assigned to your account, and access is removed when they change. Payroll is treated with the same access discipline as payment operations, because it carries the same sensitivity.
