Payroll & 1099 Services in Arizona

Payroll is where small mistakes get expensive: a missed withholding form, payroll taxes recorded as an expense twice, or liabilities that never clear on the balance sheet.

We set up payroll with QuickBooks Payroll or connect and check the payroll provider you already use, so wages, employer taxes and liabilities post correctly every pay period. We also track contractors through the year and handle 1099s in January.

What's included

• Payroll setup, including Arizona withholding (Form A-4) and new-hire paperwork
• Connecting your payroll provider to QuickBooks Online
• Recording wages, employer taxes and payroll liabilities each pay period
• Reconciling payroll liability accounts so they clear correctly
• Collecting W-9s and tracking contractor payments all year
• Preparing and filing 1099s in January

How it works

1. Review. We look at how you pay employees and contractors today.
2. Set up or connect. We set up QuickBooks Payroll or connect your current provider and map it to the right accounts.
3. Every pay period. Wages, taxes and liabilities post correctly and are checked during your monthly close.
4. Year-end. We make sure W-2 totals tie to your books and file 1099s for your contractors.

Who it's for

Businesses with employees, contractors or both, especially owners hiring their first employee or paying subcontractors. Need the forms? Download fillable W-4, W-9, A-4 and I-9 forms free.

More than a bookkeeper

We're more than a bookkeeper who keeps your books current. Every month we look at your numbers and tell you what they mean: where margins are slipping, which costs are creeping up, and practical ideas to make and save more money. Think of us as a light fractional CFO, at a bookkeeping price.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with my current payroll company?

Usually, yes. We connect most payroll providers to QuickBooks Online and make sure the entries are right.

Who needs a 1099?

Generally, contractors and unincorporated vendors you pay $600 or more in a year for services. We track this all year so January is easy.

What is Arizona Form A-4?

It's Arizona's state withholding election form. Every Arizona employee should complete one along with the federal W-4.
