Hassle-Free Payroll Management

Running payroll in-house can quickly become a burden for small business owners in Canyon Lake and surrounding communities. From staying on top of tax rules to avoiding costly mistakes, there's little room for error. That’s why Elite Financial Consulting offers professional payroll services in Canyon Lake that are accurate, timely, and designed to fit the needs of Texas small businesses. We handle the calculations, tax filings, and compliance, so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.


Our Payroll Service Offerings

Payroll Calculation & Processing

Each pay period, we calculate gross wages, withholdings, deductions, and net pay for hourly or salaried employees. Whether you pay weekly, biweekly, or monthly, we make sure each paycheck is correct, every time.


Payroll Tax Filings

Elite handles all required federal and state filings: IRS Forms 941, 940, W-2s, W-3s, and 1099s for contractors. We also submit payroll tax deposits on time through EFTPS and prepare reports for the Texas Workforce Commission.


Direct Deposit & Pay Stubs

We offer direct deposit for employee convenience, along with digital or printable pay stubs. If needed, we can help you manage paper checks as well.


New Hire Reporting & Compliance

We file all required new hire reports with the state of Texas and help you understand wage and hour regulations so your business stays compliant.


Payroll Integration with Bookkeeping

If you also use Elite Financial for bookkeeping, your payroll data flows directly into your monthly reports, eliminating duplication and ensuring accuracy.


Why Use Our Payroll Service?

Even with just one or two employees, small business payroll is too important to risk. IRS penalties for incorrect filings can add up fast. Elite Financial Consulting helps you stay ahead of compliance while giving your team peace of mind. Our approach is flexible and personal—you get local support, not just a generic app or overseas help desk. We stay current on tax law updates and know the local nuances of doing business in Comal County and Central Texas.


How Onboarding Works

Starting payroll services with us is simple. We gather key info (like your EIN, pay schedule, and employee or contractor details), set up your payroll system securely, and ensure all data is protected. From there, you receive summaries each pay period, and we'll send you reminders about upcoming filings or debits. Whether you're switching from DIY payroll or another provider, we make the transition smooth.


  • How many employees do I need to justify using a payroll service?

    Even just one employee or an owner taking a reasonable salary through an S-Corp benefits from using a payroll service. It's about accuracy and compliance—not headcount.

  • Can you handle contract workers (1099) as well as W-2 employees?

    Yes. We track contractor payments and issue 1099-NECs at year-end, alongside managing your employee payroll.

  • What if I already use a payroll software like Gusto or ADP?

    We can take over management of your existing platform or migrate you to our system. We're flexible and adapt to your business needs.

  • Do you handle payroll tax payments and filings automatically?

    Yes. We calculate, submit, and file your federal and state payroll taxes on your behalf, including quarterly and annual filings.

  • Are you able to help with HR or workers comp?

    We don’t provide full HR services, but we help with required state filings and can assist with audits related to payroll. We’re happy to refer you to trusted partners if needed.

  • What does your payroll service cost?

    Pricing depends on the number of employees and pay frequency. Most clients find it's more affordable than the cost of errors or time spent trying to manage payroll alone. Contact us for a custom quote.
