Every two weeks, it's the same story: payroll deadlines looming, tax calculations confusing you, and the nagging worry that you're making mistakes that could cost your business dearly. If payroll has become a source of stress rather than a routine business function, you're not alone—and you're definitely not powerless to change it. Our experts at Tina Worrell CPA can help.
Payroll isn't just about cutting checks. It's about compliance, accuracy, and protecting your business from costly penalties. The Department of Labor reports that 40% of small businesses pay an average of $845 annually in payroll penalties. But the real costs extend far beyond fines:

Error Corrections: Fixing payroll mistakes often costs more than preventing them.
Compliance Risk: The potential cost of penalties and audits far exceeds the investment in professional payroll services.
