Managing payroll can be overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. We make sure your employees are paid correctly and your filings are completed on time, handled by a CPA who also knows your books and your tax position.
What we handle
- Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly payroll on the schedule that fits your cash flow

- Payroll tax filings — federal, state, and local
- Quarterly and annual payroll reports
- W-2 and 1099 preparation at year end
- Assistance with payroll notices or corrections
Payroll is the one area where being late or wrong has immediate consequences — employees notice the same day, and agencies notice within the quarter. Our job is to make it something you stop thinking about.
Who we serve
Small employers across Hartsville, Florence, Darlington, and the broader Pee Dee — farms with seasonal crews, retailers, contractors, professional practices, and nonprofits.
What you gain
- Filings and deposits made on schedule, without your calendar carrying them
- Year-end forms that reconcile to your books
- One person to call when a notice arrives
Employee or contractor?
One of the costliest payroll mistakes a small employer can make is not a late filing — it is treating someone as a 1099 contractor when the working relationship is genuinely employment.
The consequences land on the employer: back withholding, the employer’s share of payroll taxes, unemployment contributions, and penalties, sometimes across several years at once. It is common in construction, agriculture, and service businesses where informal arrangements are long-standing. If you are unsure how a worker should be classified, that is a conversation worth having before it becomes a finding.
Payroll and tax, together
When payroll sits with a call centre and your CPA sits somewhere else, the connections get missed. Owner compensation, bonus timing, and retirement contributions all sit exactly on the line between payroll and tax.
Because we handle bookkeeping, tax planning, and tax preparation as well, your quarterly filings reconcile to your books and your books reconcile to your return.
