Payroll services

We run payroll two ways, depending on whether your books are already with us.

Payroll options

Payroll Processing Support

An add-on for active BooksBud bookkeeping clients

  • Payroll runs processed on your schedule
  • Payroll entries reconciled into your books automatically
  • Billed monthly
  • Run on Gusto
  • Requires an active bookkeeping plan

Standalone Payroll

Full-service payroll, no bookkeeping plan needed

  • Payroll setup and onboarding
  • Ongoing payroll runs and tax filings
  • Run on Gusto
  • Works independently of your bookkeeping
  • Add a bookkeeping plan anytime

Not sure which fits? If you're already on a BooksBud bookkeeping plan, Payroll Processing Support is the simpler add-on. If you just need payroll run, with no bookkeeping relationship, Standalone Payroll includes everything on its own.

Find the right fit

A short consultation is the easiest way to see which plan matches your business. We'll look at where your books are today and what you need from them.
