Payroll is the one thing you can't get wrong. Miss a tax deposit, mis-classify a worker, or file a 941 late, and the penalties pile up fast. The big national processors will run your payroll, but good luck reaching a human who knows your business when something breaks.
Joshua's Tax & Accounting Services runs payroll for Santa Clarita small businesses with the accuracy of a big provider and the access of a local partner — in English or Español.
What's included
- Full-service payroll runs — weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly
- Direct deposit (and printed checks when you need them)
- Automatic payroll tax calculation, deposits & filings — federal 941/940, CA EDD (DE 9 / DE 9C), and year-end W-2s and 1099-NECs
- New-hire reporting to California
- Employee vs. contractor guidance — avoid the costly mis-classification trap (CA AB-5 rules)
- PTO / sick-leave tracking to stay compliant with CA paid-sick-leave law
- Pay stubs & employee self-service so your team can pull their own records
- Garnishments & deductions handled correctly
