Payroll Outsourcing
Managed payroll services that handle every pay run, payroll tax filing, and year-end form, with each step visible to you through ABS Audit Sync.
Payroll Leaves no Room for guesswork
Payroll is the one process nobody forgives. A late run or a wrong deduction reaches every employee at once, and payroll tax errors can bring penalties from federal and state agencies.
That’s why many firms are nervous about payroll outsourcing. Most outsourced payroll providers ask you to trust that the inputs were checked, the calculations were reviewed, and the filings went out. You rarely get to see any of it.
As a payroll outsourcing company, we do it differently. Every pay run moves through our five-stage workflow in ABS Audit Sync, so you can see the inputs, the review, and the approval before a single payment is released.
Our payroll outsourcing services include
- Weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay runs
- New hire setup, terminations, and pay changes
- Federal payroll tax filings, including Forms 941 and 940
- State withholding and unemployment filings
- Year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation
- Payroll journal entries and reconciliations

Payroll Management for CPA firms
Offering payroll to clients is a strong recurring revenue line, but running it in-house ties up staff every single pay cycle. Our payroll management service lets your practice offer payroll without building a dedicated payroll department. We process, you review, and your clients get consistent, on-time payroll.
We work in the payroll management system your firm already uses, including the major cloud payroll platforms, so there’s no disruption to your clients.
Payroll Management for Small Business
For a small business, payroll management often falls to the owner, squeezed between everything else. As a payroll management company, we take the processing off your plate while keeping you fully informed. You see every run, approve every payment, and keep a clear record for your accountant.
Whether you pay five people or fifty, our payroll management solution scales with you.
