As your company grows, you’ll likely find yourself spending more of your time working on the books, calculating taxes and wages. Fortunately, a skilled accountant can take these tasks off your hands, giving you more time to focus on building your business and brand. Below are just a few ways a payroll professional will prove to be an invaluable asset.

Payroll Services Your Accountant Provides

1. Hours & Wage Tracking

Experienced payroll professionals know how to streamline hour tracking, eliminating errors and ensuring everyone is paid on time. Not only will they take care of the calculations for you, but many also have access to cutting-edge software that automates the entire process.

2. Paying Your Employees

Whether you use direct deposit or still rely on paper checks, the process of paying your employees can take hours. Accountants will handle the disbursement of payroll for you and may even be able to update your capabilities to take advantage of modern technologies.

3. Calculating Payroll Taxes

Even minor mistakes on your payroll taxes can lead to serious penalties from the IRS and state agencies. Accountants have an in-depth understanding of the tax code and advanced software, so you can be confident your returns will always be filed promptly and accurately.

4. Year-End Document Preparation

The W-2s, 1099s, and other documents you have to prepare at the end of the year must be accurate and produced on time. Leaving these in the hands of an experienced accountant can eliminate stress and free you up to focus on the year ahead.
