Common questions
Do you capture the FICA tip credit?
Yes—many owners leave this credit on the table. We track tipped wages and claim the credit on your return, which can be worth thousands per year for properties with F&B or valet.
Can you run payroll across multiple properties and states?
Absolutely. We handle multi-property, multi-state payroll with proper withholding and unemployment registration in each jurisdiction.
