Hiring & Payroll
“What’s the tax difference for my business if I use a W-2 employee?”
Your first hire means payroll tax, withholding, and state registration. Setting it up correctly the first time is far cheaper than fixing it later.

- 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.
