High Profile Tax

Client Overview

Company Name: Stelmith
Industry: IT Services / Professional Services
Location: Texas, USA
Business Owner: Peter Thompson
Team Size: 8 employees + 4 contractors
Service Used: Payroll Processing + Payroll Tax Filing + W-2 & 1099 Compliance

The Challenge

Peter Thompson, owner of Stelmith, was managing payroll internally using a mix of spreadsheets, manual bank transfers, and inconsistent payroll tracking.

As the company grew, payroll became a major operational pain point:

  • Payroll was taking 6–8 hours every pay period

  • Employee pay was sometimes delayed due to manual processing

  • Payroll tax deposits were not fully automated

  • Contractor payments and 1099 tracking were not structured

  • Year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation became stressful and error-prone

Peter needed a solution that was accurate, scalable, and fully compliant, without requiring him to become a payroll expert.

Our Solution

High Profile Tax implemented a complete payroll system for Stelmith, covering everything from employee onboarding to tax filing.

Phase 1: Payroll System Setup

We established a structured payroll workflow including:

  • Payroll schedule setup (bi-weekly)

  • Employee profile configuration

  • Contractor tracking system

  • Payroll approval workflow for Peter

  • Direct deposit integration

Phase 2: Payroll Tax Compliance

To ensure full IRS and state compliance, we handled:

  • Federal payroll tax calculation and deposits

  • Quarterly filings (Form 941)

  • Annual filings (Form 940)

  • Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) compliance setup and reporting

Phase 3: Year-End Forms (W-2 and 1099)

We ensured all reporting was ready well before deadlines:

  • W-2 preparation and distribution for employees

  • 1099 filings for contractors

  • Verification of legal names, SSNs, EINs, and payment totals

  • Clean year-end payroll reports for tax filing

Within 60 days, Stelmith achieved a complete payroll transformation.
