Section Intro
Help visitors get the basic idea within a few seconds, so they understand what this section is about.
Payroll Setup & Systems Migration
We spin up or convert your payroll platform (Gusto, ADP, Paylocity, QuickBooks Payroll, you name it) mapping every earning code and tax ID so “go‑live” happens without pay‑day drama. Data clean‑up and historical import are included, so you hit the ground running on a future‑proof payroll system.
PTO & Sick-Time Accrual Tracking
We automate accrual rules to match your policy, updating balances in real time and flagging overages before they become headaches. Employees see clear, current PTO totals with ease; managers get easy‑view reports for scheduling and planning.
Benefits & Garnishment Deductions
Health premiums, 401(k) matches, HSA contributions, child‑support orders—each deduction is coded to land in the right general‑ledger bucket and remit to the right carrier or agency. No more manual reconciliations or missed deadlines.
Multi-State Tax Compliance
From California SDI to New York’s wage‑theft notices, our payroll tax experts calculate, file, and remit every state and local withholding on schedule. You stay penalty‑free while your team gets accurate, state‑specific pay stubs.
Tax Filing & W2 / 1099 Prep
We draft, file, and distribute all federal payroll returns plus year‑end employee and contractor forms, tying every box back to your books for friction‑free audits. Deadlines and data validation are on us, not you.
Labor-Cost Dashboards & Reporting
We can create custom dashboards to plug payroll data into cash‑flow forecasts, showing labor spend by department, project, or location. See overtime spikes, track salary‑to‑revenue ratios, and make staffing calls with confidence.
Why Payroll Accuracy Matters
Employees count on flawless paydays, regulators expect timely taxes, and investors watch cash‑flow volatility. Handling payroll in‑house can pull leaders away from strategy and expose the company to fines.
Why Choose Payroll Services from Preferred CFO?

We fold every pay cycle into a bigger financial strategy by combining cash‑flow forecasting, board reporting, and KPI dashboards, all delivered by a single collaborative finance bench. With our combined knowledge of CFO leadership and HR expertise, you can rest assured that your departments are working together to reach your business goals.
Compliant, accurate, and scalable payroll shouldn’t eat up your own schedule. Let’s customize a solution that fits your budget, headcount, and business needs.
