Weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly. Offering all four is unusual for a two-person practice, and it is deliberate.
Businesses do not choose a pay cycle to be difficult. A crew paid on Friday is paid on Friday because that is how the trade works, and a salaried office that budgets to the fifteenth and the last day is not changing to suit a bookkeeper. So we run all four.
What separates a payroll that is handled from a payroll that merely clears the bank is what happens afterwards. Wages, employer costs and withholdings each land in their own account, and the liability accounts are reconciled in the same month they are settled. Skip that and the balance sheet carries obligations that were paid a year ago, which is exactly what we find in most files we inherit.
1
Hours arrive on your schedule, or salaried runs simply repeat. You confirm before anything is submitted.
2
Built in QuickBooks Payroll against your pay dates, not a cycle that suits us.
3
Gross, net and employer cost in front of you before it goes. Nothing submits without your approval.

Posted to the right expense and liability accounts, and the liabilities reconciled as part of the close.
All four pay cycles, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly and monthly, run through QuickBooks Payroll on the schedule your business already uses. Every run is recorded to the right expense and liability accounts and reconciled in the month it is paid, which is the step that gets skipped elsewhere and the reason so many inherited files carry payroll liabilities settled a year ago. Payroll Processing In Humble, TX
Texas has no state income tax withholding, which makes payroll here simpler than it is in most states. It does not make it simple. Employer obligations, worker classification and the reconciliation of what was withheld against what was actually remitted still have to be right, and those are the places files go wrong.
Payroll runs in QuickBooks Payroll, the only payroll platform we work in. Where something requires a licensed tax professional, we say so and stay on our side of the line.

QuickBooks Payroll handles the filings and remittances it is configured for, and we make sure the setup is right and that what was filed reconciles to the books. Anything requiring a licensed tax professional stays with one.
