Client Overview

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.
