Payroll Services in Keller, TX
Keller has grown into one of the most desirable communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and that growth has brought a wave of small businesses hiring their first employees, expanding teams, and trying to keep up with federal and state payroll requirements. With a median household income around $95,000, Keller attracts skilled workers who expect to be paid accurately and on time. For the business owners writing those paychecks, payroll mistakes carry real consequences: IRS penalties, employee trust issues, and hours lost to paperwork that could be spent running the business.
Our Services
Our Payroll Services for Keller Clients
When you work with us, you get a complete payroll solution, not just check printing. Here is exactly what our Keller clients receive:
- Payroll processing on your schedule: We calculate gross pay, withholdings, and net pay for every employee, whether you run payroll weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
- Federal and state payroll tax filings: We prepare and file Forms 941 (quarterly), 940 (annual federal unemployment), and Texas Workforce Commission wage reports so you never miss a deadline.
- W-2 and 1099 preparation: At year end, we generate W-2s for employees and 1099-NEC forms for independent contractors, with copies filed to the IRS and SSA on your behalf.
- New hire reporting: Texas requires employers to report new hires to the Texas Attorney General’s office within 20 days. We handle that filing for you.
- Payroll integrated with bookkeeping: Your payroll entries flow directly into your monthly books, so payroll expenses, tax liabilities, and labor costs are always accurate and up to date.
- Worker classification guidance: We help Keller business owners determine whether workers should be classified as W-2 employees or 1099 contractors, reducing the risk of costly IRS reclassification penalties.

Payroll Services Questions from Keller Clients
How much do payroll services cost in Keller?
Our monthly bookkeeping and payroll processing packages range from $300 to $600 per month. The exact price depends on your number of employees, pay frequency, and whether you also need bank reconciliation and financial reporting. We provide a clear quote during your free consultation, so you know the cost before you commit.
Can you handle payroll tax filings for my Keller business?
Yes. We prepare and file all required federal payroll tax forms, including quarterly Form 941 and annual Form 940. We also file Texas Workforce Commission unemployment wage reports. Because Texas has no state income tax, there is no state withholding to calculate, but federal withholding, Social Security, and Medicare still apply to every employee on your Keller payroll.
What is the difference between a 1099 contractor and a W-2 employee?
A W-2 employee works under your direction, uses your tools, and follows a schedule you set. You withhold taxes from their pay and contribute to unemployment insurance. A 1099 contractor controls how and when they complete the work and handles their own taxes. The IRS uses specific behavioral, financial, and relationship tests to determine classification. Misclassifying workers can trigger back taxes, penalties, and interest. We help Keller employers classify workers correctly from the start.
How fast can you set up payroll for my Keller business?
Most new payroll engagements are fully set up within one to two weeks. We need your EIN, employee information (W-4s, I-9s), pay rates, and your preferred pay schedule. If your Keller business is brand new and still needs an EIN or Texas Workforce Commission account, we can help you obtain those as part of the setup process.
Do you help Keller businesses that are hiring their first employee?
Absolutely. Many of our Keller clients come to us at exactly this stage. Moving from a solo operation to having your first W-2 employee creates new obligations: federal tax deposits, quarterly filings, unemployment insurance registration, and workers’ compensation considerations. We walk you through every step and handle the ongoing compliance so you can focus on growing your team.
Can payroll be bundled with tax preparation and bookkeeping?
Yes, and most Keller clients choose this approach. When your bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation are all handled by the same CPA, your financial records stay consistent throughout the year. That means a smoother tax filing process, fewer surprises at year end, and one point of contact for everything: Al Freideman.
