Payroll Services

illustration of accounting toolsA common and cost efficient alternative to employing an in-house payroll department is payroll outsourcing. For companies interested in payroll outsourcing, Simply Counted Business Services, Inc.’s payroll services in Holland, MI is the ideal situation. Our business and corporate payroll services may be a stand alone payroll service, or can be combined with our CFO/Accounting Service option to include all or part of the following:

  • Timely and accurate payroll services from small business to corporate accounts
  • Time sheet review & payroll calculation
  • Payroll check runs and reports
  • Administering and remitting employee deductions
  • Administering employer and employee retirement contributions, taxable fringe benefits admin duties, etc.
  • Federal and state agency filing/reporting requirements
  • Abiding by all applicable laws and policies of the organization

In addition, a portion of the payroll service can include a review of the internal payroll function and reconciliation of quarterly and annual reporting to federal and state agencies as combined with a Monthly Compilation and Review for example.

Payroll Outsourcing

In our experience, payroll outsourcing is most commonly utilized for the following important reasons:

  • Frees up time
  • Reduces direct labor costs
  • Avoid IRS penalties
  • Avoid technology headaches
  • Leverage outside payroll expertise
  • Avoid the loss of payroll knowledge

Simply Counted’s payroll outsourcing includes the payroll services listed in the paragraphs above, but can also include:

  • Annual preparation
  • Reconciliation to quarterly payroll reports
  • Mailing of W-2’s and annual reports to federal and state agencies

Corporate Payroll Services and 1099 Reporting

Another component of year-end filing is 1099 reporting. 1099 reporting to the IRS is required by all businesses and tenants of rental property. The reporting involves any service activity that you pay for in your business to all individuals and/or companies that are not C Corporations. The IRS recently included commercial tenants of rental property to issue a 1099 to their landlord as well, regardless of the entity type.

We offer both year end and 1099 reporting in combination with other corporate payroll services, or as a stand alone service.
