Call (616) 498-0994Switch payroll at the next
quarter. We move the data.
You do not have to wait until January and you do not have to re-enter anything. We pull your year-to-date wages and tax deposits from ADP, Gusto, Paychex or QuickBooks Payroll, run your first cycle in parallel with your current provider, and compare net pay to the cent before you cancel.
Then Renee supervises every cycle. Deposits, quarterly 941s, Michigan withholding, UIA and year-end W-2s are handled here, by the same people who prepare your return.
How our payroll service worksWhat every payroll client gets
- Direct deposit on your cycle, weekly through monthly
- Federal, Michigan and city tax deposits filed on schedule
- Quarterly 941, state withholding and UIA filings
- Year-end W-2s and 1099s reconciled to the quarterlies
- Owner compensation set for the best net tax result
- Agency notices answered by us, not forwarded to you

Payroll and tax questions we get every week
- How much do payroll services cost?
- Payroll is quoted per contract based on employee count and pay frequency. The consultation and quote are free, and the quote is flat, so there is no surprise invoice at the end of the month.
- Can you switch our payroll mid-year?
- Yes. Mid-year switches are routine. We pull year-to-date wages and tax deposits from your current provider so your W-2s are correct at year end.
- What does a business tax return cost?
- 1120, 1120S and 1065 preparation is $900. An additional $150 per hour may apply for bookkeeping reconciliation or complications from unorganized recordkeeping.
- Do you work with businesses outside Jenison?
- Yes. We serve Grand Rapids, Grandville, Hudsonville, Wyoming, Byron Center, Allendale, Walker, Grand Haven and Georgetown Township, and we come onsite across the metro.
- Is the first meeting really free?
- Yes. The consultation, business evaluation and strategic tax review are free. Work begins only after you accept a written flat quote.
