Payroll mistakes are expensive: in dollars, in penalties, and in employee trust. Whether you're running payroll for two people or two hundred, the details matter: correct withholding, timely filing, and compliance with Utah employment regulations.

Ascent handles the full payroll cycle so you don't have to think about it. We set up your payroll system, process each run, handle tax deposits, and make sure everything is filed correctly and on time. If something changes (a new hire, a raise, a benefit update) we handle the adjustment.

We work with most major payroll platforms and can integrate seamlessly with your existing accounting software. Our clients know their team will be paid correctly without them having to manage the details.

Who this is for: Small businesses that are doing payroll manually or with a system that's become too time-consuming to manage in-house.

What's included:

• Full-cycle payroll processing (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly)

• Federal and state payroll tax deposits and filings

• New hire setup and onboarding

• Benefits deduction management

• Year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation
