Arlington CPA Experts AlternativeCPA Arlington. Who keeps the payroll login
The login stays with you. The work on this page means we set a payroll provider up in your name, and payday remains yours to run.

What the work does with payroll setup.
Setup is a specific list. The provider is chosen and placed in your name. Employees are entered the way you list them. The bank account that will fund payday is the one you name. The tax accounts the provider needs are connected with your approval. When that list is done, you run payday. We do not run it for you, and we do not keep the only set of credentials.
Some owners want the entire payday handed off. Giving the whole payday away is outside what we set up. If an agency later opens an examination, you are the employer on the account. The notice names records, and we help pull those named records into one stack. If an agency calls the exam, the chair in that exam stays yours.
The Wings play at College Park Center, and a night there belongs to the city. The people working that night still get paid through a provider somebody set up on purpose. The login for that provider belongs to the business, not to a stranger who might leave.
The password set on the day the account opens is the password that stays, and we do not keep a second copy in our own drawer.
What changes in the close.
Once payday runs on the provider, the close has entries to tie. Wages, the taxes withheld, and the cash that left should match the provider's report and the bank. Paychecks that felt on time do not finish a month whose deposits still have no name.
A spreadsheet that used to be the payroll system gets retired in writing. Two systems is how a person gets paid twice or not at all. The scope says which system remains.
New hires after setup are yours to add, or you can ask for a short follow up and we will say what that follow up costs. It is not silently included forever.
Questions worth asking before setup.
Who in the shop will actually press the payday button. Where the reports will be saved. What happens when someone takes unpaid time. Those answers belong in the first week, not after the first botched run.
If you already have a provider and the pain is the books, say that. We may not need to touch the login at all. The close can pick up the reports you already download. Setup is for the business that does not have a provider yet, or has one nobody can enter.
Send the provider.
Name the provider if you have one, or say there is not one yet.
