Question 1

What payroll software do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use Gusto to run payroll. As a professional firm, we have access to wholesale pricing that is not available to individual businesses — we pass that discount through to you at cost, with no markup.

Question 2

What is the difference between Essential and Growth payroll?

Accepted Answer

Essential Payroll ($129/month) covers full administration for 1–4 employees or contractors. Growth Payroll ($199/month) covers 5–8 workers and includes employee self-service pay stub access. Both include 2 payroll runs per month, direct deposit, and all tax filings.

Question 3

Do you handle W-2 and 1099 preparation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. W-2 and 1099 preparation and filing are included in the service. We prepare and file all required year-end tax forms for your employees and contractors.

Question 4

Can I bundle payroll with bookkeeping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our All-In-One Back Office Bundles combine bookkeeping and payroll into a single flat monthly payment that also includes wholesale software pricing. The Essential Bundle is $299/month (1–4 workers) and the Growth Bundle is $449/month (up to 8 workers).

Question 5

What Oregon-specific payroll requirements do you handle?

Accepted Answer

We handle Oregon statewide transit tax, Oregon withholding tax, Oregon unemployment insurance, new hire reporting to the Oregon Department of Revenue, and Oregon Paid Leave contributions.
