Quarterly Payroll Compliance Service

(Included in our Gold Weekly Program)

Many businesses rely on third-party payroll providers such as ADP, Gusto, Paychex, or Rippling to process payroll and file payroll tax returns. While these systems are efficient, they are not error-proof—and mistakes often surface months later during reconciliations, audits, or tax preparation.

To address this risk, the Quarterly Payroll Compliance Service is included for clients enrolled in the Gold Weekly Program.

What Is the Quarterly Payroll Compliance Service?

This service provides independent quarterly review and reconciliation of payroll activity when payroll is processed outside of QuickBooks. Rather than assuming payroll filings are accurate, our team performs an added layer of oversight to ensure your records align correctly.

Each quarter, a payroll specialist:

• Reviews the quarterly payroll tax returns filed by your third-party payroll provider

• Reconciles payroll-related balance sheet accounts in QuickBooks

• Identifies discrepancies, errors, or misclassifications

• Flags issues early so they can be corrected before they compound

• Downloads all quarterly payroll tax returns to the client portal in the appropriate Documents folder (Taxes/Payroll Taxes)

This process ensures payroll activity is properly reflected in your accounting system and remains compliant and audit-ready.

Why Quarterly Payroll Reviews Matter

Third-party payroll systems operate independently from your general ledger. Without routine reconciliation, businesses may encounter:

• Payroll tax liabilities that do not match QuickBooks

• Incorrect expense or liability balances

• Misposted payroll entries

• Unnoticed filing or payment errors

  
  

Quarterly compliance reviews help prevent these issues from carrying forward into year-end reporting or tax filings.

Key Benefits of Quarterly Payroll Compliance

External Benefit: Reduced Compliance and Audit Risk Quarterly reviews help ensure payroll filings are accurate and properly recorded, minimizing exposure to penalties or corrective filings.

Internal Benefit: Confidence in Your Financial Reports By reconciling payroll each quarter, you can trust that your balance sheet and financial statements accurately reflect payroll activity.

Designed for Gold Weekly Clients

The Quarterly Payroll Compliance Service is included for Gold Weekly clients who use third-party payroll platforms such as ADP, Gusto, Paychex, or Rippling. It provides essential oversight without disrupting your existing payroll process. It is designed for companies that may have already set up their payroll with their outside 3rd party provider and our managing their payroll on their own but still needs the oversight by their accounting team since all payroll costs and liabilities affect the financial statements.

At A Bigger Bottom Line, our goal is not to replace your payroll provider—but to ensure payroll data integrates cleanly into your financials, supports informed decision-making, and stays compliant.
