US Payroll Processing Support

I run a growing U.S.-based company and want to hand off day-to-day payroll so every employee is paid correctly and on time while federal, state, and local filings stay fully compliant. The core of the job revolves around payroll and employee payments, not general bookkeeping.

Here is what I will count on you to handle:

• Calculate gross-to-net pay for each cycle, including withholding, voluntary deductions, garnishments, and employer taxes.
• Generate and distribute digital payslips that employees can access easily.
• Release payments—direct deposit and the occasional physical check—by the scheduled cutoff.
• File and remit all payroll taxes (941/944, state income tax, unemployment, etc.) before their deadlines and keep confirmation records.
• Configure, migrate, or simply maintain the payroll software we choose (QuickBooks Payroll, Gusto, ADP, or another U.S.-compliant platform).

Acceptance criteria
• Every payroll run reconciles to the cent with the funding report.
• Tax deposits post in the IRS and state portals by or before due dates.
• Employees have uninterrupted access to year-to-date pay data and year-end W-2s.
• The underlying system remains audit-ready with error logs cleared each cycle.

Tell me which software you prefer, how you stay current on U.S. payroll law, and the typical turnaround you need once timesheets close.
