Kerr Payroll Solutions

Payroll is the center of this Fresno business, which runs it for employers as a full service or lets them handle it themselves in a cloud system.

Full service payroll or a cloud do-it-yourself option

Kerr Payroll offers full service payroll for businesses of all sizes, and a do-it-yourself cloud payroll system for employers who want to run it in house. The firm says its packages give control over a business's finances and scale with the company, and that they are priced on subscription and flat rates rather than on hourly fees, so the cost stays predictable as payroll grows.

Payroll tax filing and W-2 work

The firm pays and files federal and state payroll taxes on a client's behalf, and it handles the federal backup withholding payments and filings that some employers must make. It also prints and files W-2 forms. The website presents this tax work as part of an integrated service, so that a client's payroll and tax obligations are handled together rather than through separate providers.

Retirement plans and 401(k) support

Choosing a retirement plan or 401(k) for a business can be difficult and expensive, and the firm offers expertise to help employers identify, set up and manage a suitable plan. The website says the aim is to deliver that support at a sensible value. Retirement services are presented as one of the integrated products that the firm offers alongside payroll and bookkeeping.

Pension plans and actuarial services

The firm designs traditional defined benefit and cash balance pension plans, and it prepares the plan documents that go with them. Its actuarial services include the signed actuarial certification of the AFTAP, the preparation of valuation reports and participant statements, and the calculation of the permissible funding range. The firm lists these as full service pension work for employers in the Fresno region and the Central Valley.

Time tracking and labor compliance

Tracking when and where employees start and stop work, along with meal breaks and leave such as vacation and family medical leave, can be difficult to manage by hand. The firm says the right system lets employers control labor costs, keep accurate hours and meet labor regulations. The firm presents this as a problem its payroll system can address.

Bookkeeping that runs alongside payroll

The firm offers bookkeeping and accounting to take the burden of day-to-day records off a business. Its accountants work with QuickBooks Online and handle reconciling bank accounts, managing payables and receivables, producing financial statements and other tasks. The website also describes an integrated insurance platform that gives clients access to licensed agents and business insurance programs.

Packages sized by number of employees

The firm sets its payroll packages by headcount, with one package for businesses of up to ten employees, one for up to fifty and one for businesses with more than fifty. The company is locally owned and operated in Fresno, California, and it says it was built with every business in mind, working with a broad range of industries in and around Fresno, in the Central Valley.
