 But remember the first place you want to go to get advice about payroll probably is not QuickBooks themselves or a payroll company themselves, but rather say your accountant or CPA and you would like to possibly pay for advice about what the best payroll option would be without talking to someone that you're actually thinking about paying to process payroll so that you can get advice that is neutral. You're not trying to hire them, you're just paying them for their advice and then determine if you want to contact QuickBooks if that's the way you want to go or possibly go to a third party like an ADP or a paychecks. So those are your primary options. You can run payroll within QuickBooks, you typically you're gonna have to pay for that and then you got to think about the level of payroll that you want to be paying for within QuickBooks or you can go to a third party. The biggest third party companies are like an ADP. So here's an ADP and this is paychecks. Now remember that payroll has become somewhat complex in the United States due to the laws related to it. So if you hired someone like a paychecks or an ADP they would be processing the payroll outside of QuickBooks and and processing the checks but the check processing is the easiest kind of component of the payroll process. The difficult part is reporting everything making sure you're in alignments with the tax withholdings and then doing the tax preparations the 940s to 941s and so if you outsource that to a third party then what you can do internally is just make sure that you enter the data so that you can process your financial statements properly and they can take care of hopefully the payroll and some of the human resources. So if you're working on your own company file then the question is a major question. Do you want to outsource the payroll to a third party or do you want to do it within QuickBooks? You're gonna have to pay more either way. If you do it within QuickBooks you will be processing payroll and you will get support from it through the software and possibly different tiers and levels of support depending on how much you're gonna pay for that support. If you do it externally then the ADP or paychecks or whoever's processing the payroll should basically do most you know all of the reporting requirements but you're still gonna have to add the information into QuickBooks just to get your financial statements properly recorded. If you're a bookkeeper you want to think about what's the best system to be recommending to potential clients. For example if you're specializing in payroll then maybe you want to be turning on payroll and and doing it internally or maybe you have a system where you're recommending a third party payroll company and possibly a CPA firm to help with taxes and you do the bookkeeping you outsource to the payroll company and then you also get support for tax preparation at the end of the year with like a CPA. If you have a good network then you can look for clients that would fit well in your network whatever process you have set up.
