Payroll help for Abilene businesses
Payroll is the one thing you can't afford to get wrong
Payroll errors don't just frustrate employees — they trigger IRS penalties, state tax notices, and potential legal liability. The rules change constantly: federal withholding tables, Texas unemployment rates, new hire reporting requirements, and year-end W-2 deadlines. Most Abilene small business owners are running payroll themselves, hoping they haven't missed anything.
The Gap ProAdvisors handles full-service payroll for Abilene businesses with 1–30 employees. We process every pay run, file every payroll tax return, handle direct deposit, and deliver W-2s at year-end. You approve payroll — we handle everything else. And because we're also your bookkeeper, your payroll entries flow directly into your QuickBooks books with no double entry.

Why outsource
Why Abilene businesses outsource payroll to us
IRS penalties are expensive
Late or incorrect payroll tax deposits trigger penalties starting at 2% and climbing to 15% of the unpaid amount. One missed deadline can cost more than a year of payroll service fees.
The rules change every year
Federal withholding tables, Social Security wage bases, Texas unemployment rates — these change annually. We stay current so you don't have to.
Your time is worth more
Processing payroll yourself typically takes 2–5 hours per month for a small business. That's time you could spend on customers, operations, or simply not working on a Saturday.
One firm for payroll and books
Because we're also your bookkeeper, payroll entries flow directly into QuickBooks with no manual work. Your labor costs are always accurate and up to date.
Common questions
Payroll questions from Abilene business owners
Do you handle payroll for just one employee?
Yes. Many of our payroll clients are sole proprietors who've hired their first employee. We handle payroll for businesses with 1–30 employees, and the process is the same regardless of size.
What about 1099 contractors?
We track contractor payments throughout the year and prepare 1099-NEC forms at year-end for any contractor paid $600 or more. This is included in our payroll service or available as a standalone year-end service.
Can you take over payroll from my current provider?
Yes. We handle the transition from any payroll provider — ADP, Gusto, Paychex, or manual processing. We'll need your prior payroll records and tax filings to ensure continuity.
What if I have employees in multiple states?
We handle multi-state payroll for businesses with employees in Texas and other states. Multi-state payroll has additional complexity and is priced accordingly — contact us for a custom quote.
How do I submit payroll information each period?
You submit hours and any changes via a simple form or email before each pay date. We process the payroll, send you a confirmation, and handle all filings. The whole process takes you about 10 minutes per pay period.
