Pay your people right, on time, every single cycle.
B4Q runs payroll processing, tax withholding, and compliance filings for your team — so payday never depends on whether someone remembered to hit submit.
- Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cycles
- Federal & state tax filings handled
- Multi-state payroll, done right
A missed pay date is a trust problem, not just a paperwork problem.
Payroll is one of the few business functions where a mistake is felt immediately and personally by every employee. Late pay, wrong withholding, or a missed tax deposit doesn't just create IRS penalties — it erodes the trust your team has in the company.
B4Q runs payroll as a compliance function, not just a calculation — accurate gross-to-net every cycle, tax deposits made on schedule, and filings handled before they're ever a deadline you have to think about.
- 01 Consistent pay dates your employees can count on.
- 02 Federal and state tax deposits made on schedule, every time.
- 03 Multi-state payroll handled correctly as your team grows.
What we manage for you
Four pillars. One payroll run.
Each pillar has to work together — a processing error becomes a tax filing error, and a tax filing error becomes a compliance problem.
Payroll Processing
Accurate gross-to-net calculations and direct deposit, run on your schedule.
- Gross-to-net calculations
- Direct deposit & pay stubs
- Overtime & bonus handling
Tax Withholding & Filing
Federal and state withholding calculated, deposited, and filed on schedule.
- 941 & 940 filings
- State withholding & unemployment
- Timely tax deposits
Benefits & Deductions
Health, retirement, and garnishment deductions calculated correctly, every cycle.
- Health & retirement deductions
- Wage garnishments
- PTO & benefit tracking
Compliance & Reporting
W-2s, 1099s, and new hire reporting filed accurately and on time.
- W-2 & 1099 issuance
- New hire reporting
- Multi-state compliance
Employee or independent contractor — it changes everything.
Misclassification is one of the most common and most expensive payroll mistakes. We help you classify correctly from the first hire.
W-2 Employee
You control how, when, and where the work gets done — and you're responsible for withholding and remitting their payroll taxes.
- Employer withholds & remits income and payroll taxes
- Eligible for employer-provided benefits
- Subject to overtime and minimum wage rules
1099 Contractor
They control how the work gets done and typically work for multiple clients — no tax withholding, and they handle their own self-employment taxes.
- No tax withholding — contractor pays their own
- Not eligible for employer benefits
- Misclassifying an employee this way carries real penalties
The same reliable cycle, every pay period.
Predictable steps mean your team gets paid the same way, on the same schedule, every time.
Onboarding & Setup
We set up your pay schedule, tax accounts, and employee or contractor records in your payroll system.
Pay Cycle Configuration
Hours, salaries, deductions, and benefits are configured to match how your business actually pays people.
Payroll Processing & Approval
Each run is calculated, reviewed, and approved before funds move — so errors get caught before payday, not after.
Tax Deposits & Filings
Federal and state tax deposits are made on schedule, with 941 and 940 filings handled without you tracking a calendar.
Year-End W-2 & 1099 Issuance
Year-end forms are prepared and distributed accurately and on time, every January.
Ongoing Compliance Monitoring
We track changing state requirements and new-hire thresholds as your team grows across state lines.
The hidden cost of DIY payroll.
None of these show up as one dramatic failure — they compound quietly until a state notice or an employee complaint forces the issue.
Worker misclassification
A long-term contractor who's really an employee under the actual working relationship, carrying real back-tax exposure.
Late tax deposits
Deposits made a few days past deadline trigger penalties that were entirely avoidable with a tracked calendar.
Missed state registration
A remote hire in a new state goes unregistered for withholding and unemployment insurance for months.
Deduction errors
Benefit or garnishment deductions get miscalculated and go unnoticed until an employee flags their pay stub.
Payroll run by people who understand compliance, not just software.
The same CPAs who handle your books and taxes make sure payroll ties out correctly across all three.
Compliance-First Approach
Every run is checked against federal and state requirements, not just calculated and sent.
Classification Reviewed Upfront
We help you classify every new hire correctly before the first paycheck, not after an audit.
Books, Tax & Payroll, Aligned
Payroll ties directly into your bookkeeping and tax filings, so nothing gets recorded twice or missed.
Multi-State Ready
Remote and distributed teams handled correctly as you hire across new states.
50+ Businesses Served
From first hires to multi-state teams across dozens of employees.
