Payroll.
We
also provide payroll services. We’re licensed
by the State of Maine and have our processes
periodically examined by the state, for your
protection and peace of mind. We will prepare
your employee checks or direct deposits, and also
schedule all payroll tax deposits and
payments. If you want to write your own
payroll checks we can assist with that as
well. All employee payroll as well as payroll
taxes will be taken directly from your business bank
accounts and paid directly to the payees. No
money is impounded by us or is routed through bank
accounts owned by us. You get your
employee’s hours to us by phone, email or fax and
we’ll do the rest. We will mail, email, fax or
personally deliver your payroll checks and reports
to you prior to each payday. We
also will prepare all payroll tax returns, year-end
W-2s, and can help with 1099-MISC preparation as
well. All W-2 and 1099 Forms are filed
electronically. Our goal is to
make payroll easier for you.
