Payroll Services for Contractors

Ditch the payroll headaches. Stay compliant, save time, and get back to running your business.

You’ve got crews to manage, projects to run, and customers to serve. The last thing you need is to be tangled up in payroll processing and compliance paperwork.

Our payroll services are designed specifically for trades and home service businesses—so you can focus on growing your company, not chasing timesheets or stressing over IRS notices.

We know your world is fast-moving. Subs come and go, job sites shift, hours vary, and every detail matters when it comes to staying compliant and on budget. Miss a tax deposit, file a form late, or misclassify a worker—and it’s your name on the line.

That’s why contractors across Raleigh, NC trust us to manage their payroll with precision and care. We make sure everyone gets paid on time, every time—whether they’re W-2 employees, 1099 subcontractors, or both.
