Again I Welcome you to this opportunity as you will learn and review what makes the payroll process challenging. We will compare the 3 top current payroll processing options to date. Those being Outsourcing the entire payroll process, having Assisted Payroll and manually processing payroll. We will discuss how Assisted Payroll works, walking through the workflow, a demo and how to determine if Assisted Payroll is the right choice for you.
Our 1 st Poll is to determine who you are and how you handle your payroll now, please use WebEx to answer these questions.
As we look at what the most common challenges to payroll are, you may identify with one or more of these.
Our 2 nd Poll is to determine what you find to be the challenges of how you process payroll using your current menthod, please use WebEx to answer these questions.
Using our three methods as we have discussed you can easily see how each method differs from the next.
The three compared, you will see that QuickBooks Assisted Payroll allows you to pay your employees easily, taxes are done for you guaranteed. This easy yet secure way to process payroll eliminates the double entry of data and overall costs less in comparison. “ When working with a client, I ask how they are currently handling payroll. There are three possible answers: by hand, electronically, or through another service such as ADP or Paychex. This helps me decipher where they’re coming from. So they can decide if their time is better spend doing something else. By delegating handling the taxes and W2s, clients can shift their time to more lucrative activities where they just didn’t have the time before.” I also find that “Most people don’t realize how much they spend on payroll processing to outsourcers. I asked them how much their last two payroll fees were, and then the math usually speaks for itself.” I want to share with you that “I have had one client who could have probably paid for the QuickBooks Assisted Payroll subscription for four years with the taxes, penalties, and interest they had to pay out in one year.”
Having payroll data and reports at your fingertips is more efficient. Lets review how Assisted Payroll Works.
You pay employees Select EEs you want to pay Create & print paychecks (or use DD) Intuit pay taxes and file forms for you: Taxes paid, Forms filed: Guaranteed Year-end forms & W-2’s Other value-added Assisted Payroll features: Job costing Viewing data & generate payroll reports How payroll data is integrated into G/L
After entering employee time, you can select employees to pay
We have discussed what Assisted Payroll offers you and now you might be asking yourself, is it right for you and your business? If you answer yes to any of these 4 statements then yes, it is. So then when is the right time to switch. It is suggested that you do not change mid month or mid quarter therefore choose a starting quarter or starting year to switch to this method of processing your payroll. Processing payroll for over 12 years “I believe this is a good solution, whether you’re paying taxes for one employee or 50, you can either spend all that time filing taxes, or you can spend a small fee every month to have it taken care of for you.”
Now I would like to discuss any question that you have regarding Assisted Payroll as your payroll processing method. Please press #6 to unmute your phone to participate.
