Let's Save you Money on Payroll 

Smith Office Solutions has looked at online payroll.  This last year we tried it and learned a whole bunch.  There are things in the desktop that are better left to the desktop version but this online will work for many. 

What is different.

1. You can add timesheets/time clock which figures overtime automatically
2. It imports into accounting software.
3. It works with more years of QuickBooks than the desktop version.  2006 and above.   It works on Mac, Online & Windows QuickBooks.  It works with Peachtree, Quicken & ATX Command Accounting

5. It does job costing
6. Accrues vacation & sick 
7. It does multiple states
8. Tax payments are automatic
9. Tax returns are automatic 
10. Pay contractors & file 1099's

Lets Take the Aggravation Out of Taxes While We Are At It 

1. QuickBooks allows your chart of accounts to be mapped to your tax return lines.  All we need is the return number you file to map them.
2. We can create a summary report after we map you file.  This should make your taxes easier. 
3. We can do a Client Data Review before it goes to the tax person.  This should clean up things that always pop up when the taxes are being prepared.  Accounts Receivable on a cash basis return for example.  If the corrections aren't done right your taxes won't be correct.  Journal entries will not fix every thing.
4. The Client Data Review will also let you talk to your tax person early for tax savings items.  This should be done about 3 months before the end of the year. 
5. You can also ask your accountant to join our cloud and do their taxes that way.  Give them our number and we can talk to them about it.

1. $.50 per check, that might be less that the merchant account, you think.
2. They don't have to go through the mail any more.
3. They can be recurring too which means you have them sign papers once & then you just sit back & keep collecting the money.
4. Ask us about the forms that you need to have them sign.
5. Don't want to go to the bank any more?  You can scan the check you do receive and off they go to the bank on their own.  This is not an expensive option.
6. This is an alternative to credit cards too.
7. If you are on a recurring charge from SOS NW, Inc we will be contacting you in the month about this option.

Why Write Checks Anymore? 

Did You Know That You Can Direct Deposit a Check to a Vendor?

That isn't entirely correct.  You have to have Direct Deposit set up for your desktop payroll or Online Payroll. 

1. Desktop cost $1.45/check for direct deposit as does payroll.  What does a stamp cost now?  Add an envelope & a paper check, your time signing & stuffing the envelope.  Now does this method really cost that much.
2. Online payroll Direct Deposit for Contracotrs is free.
3. Some banks l let you do online bill pay for a fee per month.  Each bank of course varies.

Remember folks there are reasons for one system over the other not just the price.  Talk to us & we will try to help you with the solution.
