# Payroll Setup & Bookkeeping Sync for NJ Small Employers

Running payroll is more than paying people. Every payroll creates tax deposits, quarterly reports and entries in your books. We help small New Jersey employers set up a payroll service (Gusto is a common one) and keep the books in sync with it.

What we do

## Bookkeeping in Payroll

- Helping you register as an NJ employer and choose a payroll service

Before you commit

## What to watch for

- Most payroll services file and pay federal and NJ taxes for you, but you still have to review the reports. Mistakes stay with the employer.
- Contractors and employees are treated differently. Misclassifying workers can be expensive. See our contractor checklist.
- Check the payroll service's current pricing and which NJ filings are included.

Software plans and prices change often, so check the provider's current details. MCC Solutions is independent and not affiliated with the software companies named on this site.

FAQ

## Gusto and payroll software questions

**Do you run payroll for us?**

We can process payroll and prepare NJ payroll filings as an add-on to bookkeeping. Pricing is on the bookkeeping page.

**Does payroll software replace a bookkeeper?**

No. It calculates and files payroll. Someone still has to make sure it is recorded correctly in the books and reconciled.

**Are you affiliated with Gusto?**

No. MCC Solutions is an independent firm. Gusto is a trademark of its owner.
