What payroll systems do you support?

We’re platform-agnostic and have deep experience with Rippling, iSolved (including through providers like Paragon), Workday, ADP, Paychex, and others. If you’re on a different system, we can likely support it or help you migrate.

How quickly can you take over our payroll?

Most payroll transitions take 2-4 weeks. We start with an audit of your current setup, configure any missing workflows, and run a parallel cycle before fully taking over. There’s zero disruption to your employees.

Do you replace our payroll provider?

No. We work alongside your existing payroll platform and provider. We’re the operator who runs the system, catches errors, and keeps everything compliant. Think of us as the HR person who owns payroll.

What does payroll administration cost?

Pricing depends on employee count, pay frequency, and complexity (multi-state, commissions, etc.). Most clients invest less than the cost of a part-time bookkeeper and get significantly better results. We provide a detailed proposal after an initial assessment.

Filings, never late

Quarterly filings, year-end W-2s, and state notices owned continuously.

941s, state quarterlies, SUTA, MA PFML quarterly returns, year-end W-2s and 1099s, all filed on time and reconciled back to your ledger. You stop reading IRS penalty letters.

Owner hours back

The owner stops being the escalation path when something breaks on Thursday night.

Employees call us, not you. Garnishment setups, stop payments, off-cycle checks, deduction changes, handled without pinging the owner or the office manager.

Multi-state payroll compliance and tax filing coordination

How the engagement works

Payroll Audit

We review your current payroll setup, identify errors, and assess system utilization to establish a baseline.

System Optimization

We configure your payroll platform correctly, build missing workflows, and establish standard operating procedures.

Takeover & Run

We assume responsibility for payroll processing with pre-payroll audits, on-time submission, and post-payroll reconciliation every cycle.

Ongoing Reporting

Monthly reporting on payroll accuracy, compliance status, and system health so you always know where things stand.

Why employers pick this

Payroll is a relationship, not a subscription.

Your payroll company isn’t just a portal, it’s the person who picks up when a check bounces at 11pm or an employee is mid-garnishment and panicking. That’s an operator, not a ticket queue. That’s what King & Co. is.

Operator vs. payroll provider

Typical payroll provider

Migration drags on, employees notice pay-cycle gaps
Tier-one rep with a 48-hour ticket SLA
MA-specific filings become your problem to remember
Lock-in to the platform with escape fees
