From standalone payroll processing to full Employer of Record—choose what fits your operation now and scale up when it makes sense. Arizona-based team, since 1996.
If you already have employees and just need someone to run payroll accurately—AZ tax withholding, direct deposits, year-end forms—standalone payroll processing is the starting point. If you need workers on-site without adding them to your books—employment liability, onboarding docs, new-hire reporting, and compliance all handled—Employer of Record is the full package. Many Arizona employers start with payroll and add EOR when the need grows.
Gross-to-net calculations, direct deposits, remittances, and year-end forms (W-2s, 1099s)—handled accurately every cycle. Available standalone or as part of EOR.
State income-tax withholding, AZ withholding election forms, and quarterly/annual filings handled correctly. Arizona has specific state withholding rules—we stay current so you stay compliant.
Simple billing with transparent reporting each pay cycle. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. You see exactly what was processed.
Call our Peoria office anytime. Real people, not phone trees—your dedicated point of contact who knows Arizona employment requirements.
I-9 workflows, offer letters, and your site-specific policies built into every onboarding—consistent and audit-ready across locations.
We become the legal employer—managing employment files, required notices, and new-hire reporting. Clean records help prevent costly issues.
