Payroll done by the firm that files your return.
We run your payroll, deposit and file the payroll taxes, and produce your W-2s at year end. The same firm keeps your books and prepares your business return, so the payroll numbers match your return without anyone reconciling three vendors in January.
What's included
- Payroll on your schedule (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly or monthly) with direct deposit.
- Federal payroll tax deposits, quarterly Form 941 and annual Form 940.
- Florida reemployment tax: registration help, quarterly RT-6 reports and payments.
- New hire reporting to the Florida New Hire Reporting Center.
- W-2s to employees and the Social Security Administration by January 31.
- 1099-NEC forms for your contractors by January 31, with W-9s collected up front.
- Owner payroll for S corps: a reasonable salary set, documented and run through payroll.
- A W-2 or 1099 check before you bring someone on, so the classification holds up.
- Payroll posted to your books every month.

Florida payroll, in plain terms
Florida has no state income tax, so there's no state withholding on your employees' checks. Florida does charge reemployment tax. A new employer starts at 2.7% on the first $7,000 of each employee's wages each year, and the rate moves with your claims history after that. Reports are due quarterly, even in a quarter with no payroll.
Behind on payroll taxes?
Unpaid 941 deposits are the IRS debt that becomes personal fastest. The trust fund recovery penalty lets the IRS collect the withheld taxes personally from anyone responsible for paying them who willfully didn't, which usually means the owners. Stop the bleeding first: current deposits made on time, then a plan for the balance.
One practitioner. Every file, personally led.
Cody is an IRS Enrolled Agent with an MBA — a solo practitioner with a small support team, working out of Lakeland, Florida. He is also currently in law school.
Every client engagement is led by Cody personally. The firm stays deliberately small so the work stays deliberately careful — and so when the IRS calls, the person who picks up is the person who filed your return.
Common questions.
If yours isn't here, ask it on the intake — we read every one before the first call.
Can you take over payroll mid-year?
Yes. We need your year-to-date payroll registers and the tax filings made so far, because the W-2s at year end have to cover the whole year.
Do I need payroll as a single-member LLC?
Only if you have employees or your LLC has elected S corp status. A single-member LLC taxed as a sole proprietorship doesn't put the owner on payroll.
Do you pay contractors through payroll?
No. Contractors aren't run through payroll. We collect their W-9s, track what you pay them, and file their 1099-NEC forms.
What if I only want payroll?
Payroll sits inside Concierge because payroll, books and the business return have to agree. If you only need payroll, ask anyway. We'll tell you honestly whether a standalone payroll provider fits you better.
