Overview

Good decisions start with clean, current books. We run your monthly close on QuickBooks Online, Xero or NetSuite, reconcile every account and deliver a management pack with commentary by the tenth business day.

Our payroll team handles everything from onboarding to year-end W-2s and 1099s, across all states where your team lives. We register for state withholding and unemployment accounts, file every quarterly return and keep you compliant with New York's paid leave and pay transparency rules.

Frequently asked questions

Which accounting software do you support?

We work in QuickBooks Online, Xero and NetSuite, and connect payroll providers such as Gusto, Rippling and ADP. If you are on another system, we will recommend the best fit and handle the migration.

How far behind can our books be?

We regularly catch up 12 to 24 months of books. Catch-up work is quoted as a fixed fee and usually completed in three to six weeks.

Do you run payroll for employees in other states?

Yes. We register and file in every state where you have employees, and handle local taxes such as New York City and Yonkers resident withholding.
