Payroll is one of the largest expenses for most businesses and one of the most sensitive. Employees expect to be paid correctly and on time, and payroll data flows into your financial statements, tax filings and benefit reporting. Even small mistakes in payroll records can lead to misstated financials, reconciliation headaches and problems at year-end.
Many businesses use a payroll provider to calculate and pay wages, but still struggle to record payroll correctly in their books. Payroll liabilities go unreconciled, benefit deductions are miscoded and year-end forms do not match the general ledger. For CPA firms, cleaning up client payroll records is time consuming, low-margin work.
Artha FinQuest bridges this gap with payroll accounting and reconciliation services. We help prepare payroll inputs, record payroll journal entries, reconcile payroll liabilities and maintain clean payroll records that tie to your financial statements, your payroll provider reports and your year-end forms.
