Shea Business Solutions runs full-service payroll for small businesses across Orlando, FL, processed through QuickBooks Payroll by a Certified Payroll Specialist. Employees paid on time, Florida and federal payroll taxes calculated and filed, and the whole thing flowing straight into your books so payroll and bookkeeping stop living in two separate worlds. Payroll processing starts at $100 per month.

Payroll is the one part of running a business where a small mistake gets expensive fast. Miss a federal deposit deadline and the penalty starts at a percentage of the tax owed.

Misclassify a worker and the correction can reach back years. That is why we handle it end to end instead of leaving you to guess at a filing calendar.

QuickBooks-Integrated Payroll, Not a Second System

Most owners already keep their books in QuickBooks Online. Running payroll through a disconnected app means re-keying every pay run, reconciling two records that never quite match, and finding the gap in April.

We set up and process payroll inside QuickBooks Payroll so each run posts to the general ledger automatically. Wages, taxes, and liabilities land in the right accounts the moment payroll runs, and your profit and loss reflects labor cost without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

Florida and Federal Payroll Taxes, Handled

Florida has no state income tax, which fools some owners into thinking payroll tax here is simple. It is not.

You still owe Florida reemployment tax, and the federal side runs the full length: Social Security and Medicare withholding, the employer match, federal income tax withholding, and FUTA. We calculate each one, make the deposits on schedule, and file the returns.

  • Florida reemployment tax. Calculated on the taxable wage base and filed quarterly with the state.
  • Federal payroll deposits and Form 941. Withholding and matching taxes deposited on your required schedule, reconciled to the quarterly 941.
  • Year-end forms. W-2s for employees and 1099s for contractors, prepared and issued before the deadline.
  • New-hire and classification setup. Workers set up correctly the first time, so employee versus contractor is not a problem waiting to surface.

If you want the plain-English version of what a Florida small business actually owes and when, we wrote a full guide on Florida payroll taxes for Orlando small business owners. It covers reemployment tax, the 941 deadlines, and the penalties that make people call us in the first place.

Restaurants, Tips, and Weekly Payroll

Some payroll is genuinely complicated, and restaurants are the clearest example. Weekly pay runs, tipped wages, and tip allocation rules turn a routine task into a weekly problem. One Orlando restaurant came to us with tip allocation errors and six months of bookkeeping behind on top of it.

We corrected the tip allocation procedures, rebuilt the historical records, and automated a reliable weekly payroll for their 15 employees, which also gave the owner accurate food-cost margins for the first time. Payroll and books were fixed together because on a restaurant they are the same problem. The full picture of how we run it lives on our restaurant payroll page.
