Payroll or Contractor?

Hiring help? One of the most common mistakes small businesses make is misclassifying workers. If someone works on your schedule, with your tools, and under your direction, they may legally be an employee—even if you’re paying them like a contractor.

QuickBooks lets you track both, but setup matters. You’ll need different tax documents and tracking for each. We help clarify this with clients often, especially when you’re growing or scaling.

A Chandler CPA (like us) can walk you through the difference as part of our Payroll & Compliance Review—or better yet, include it in your Monthly Accounting Service.
