Hiring & Payroll
“What is the tax difference for me between a W-2 employee and another setup?”
Your first hire means payroll tax, withholding, and state registration. Setting it up correctly the first time is far cheaper than fixing it later.
In your 60-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
