Your business deserves more than someone
From organized financial records to reliable payroll operations, MKB helps business owners manage the financial side of their business with greater clarity and confidence.
Better financial management starts with better organization.
Bookkeeping and payroll are connected parts of running a healthy business. Every payroll you run shows up in your books — and your books are only as clear as the payroll records behind them.
MKB offers both as two service lines. Choose the one you need, or let us manage them together.
Know your numbers. Understand your business.

Your people deserve a payroll process
Payroll is available on its own — you don’t need bookkeeping to use it — or as an addition to your bookkeeping.
- Payroll processing
- Employee payroll administration
- Payroll schedule management
- Payroll reporting
- Payroll tax administration, where included in your contracted service
- Payroll record organization
- Payroll bookkeeping coordination
Exactly what each payroll service covers.
| Service | What it covers | How it’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Payroll processing | Recurring payroll runs on your schedule for employees, contractors paid through payroll, and owners processed through payroll — with payroll reports and organized payroll records. | Included in every payroll package · $175–$650/month by worker tier |
| Payroll tax compliance | Payroll tax administration for federal and one state. | Separate service — add it to processing · $125–$350/month by worker tier |
| Additional states | Payroll tax compliance beyond the one included state. | Scoped separately |
| Payroll bookkeeping | Recording and reconciling payroll activity in your books. | Coordinated with your bookkeeping engagement · scoped with it |
| More than 50 workers | Payroll for larger teams. | Quoted separately |
Worker count includes employees, contractors paid through payroll, and owners processed through payroll. Owner draws/distributions remain bookkeeping transactions unless the owner is processed through payroll.
Priced by the size of your team.
Payroll processing and payroll tax compliance are two separate services. Choose processing on its own, or pair it with compliance.
Starter
Recurring payroll processing for 1–5 workers. Includes employees, contractors paid through payroll, and owners processed through payroll.
Growing
Recurring payroll processing for 6–10 workers with the same core processing scope.
Expanding
Recurring payroll processing for 11–25 workers as payroll volume increases.
Established
Recurring payroll processing for 26–50 workers. Higher-volume payroll requires an organized recurring process.
Starter Compliance
Payroll tax compliance for teams of 1–5 workers. Federal and one state included.
Growing Compliance
Payroll tax compliance for teams of 6–10 workers. Federal and one state included.
Expanding Compliance
Payroll tax compliance for teams of 11–25 workers. Federal and one state included.
Established Compliance
Payroll tax compliance for teams of 26–50 workers. Federal and one state included.
One business. Two essential financial functions.
When MKB handles both your bookkeeping and your payroll, the two work from the same information — and you work with one team.
Better coordination
Payroll and bookkeeping are handled by the same team, so payroll activity is recorded the way it was actually run.
More organized records
Payroll records and financial records are kept together and stay consistent.
Easier month-end reconciliation
Payroll reports are already in hand when it’s time to reconcile and close the month.
Visibility into labor costs
See what your team costs in the same financial statements you use to run the business.
A streamlined process
One onboarding, one secure client portal and one set of document requests.
One service relationship
One point of contact for both — no going back and forth between providers.
Results depend on each business. Combined service is about coordination — we don’t promise specific savings.

Frequently asked questions.
Can I purchase payroll without bookkeeping?
Yes. Payroll is available on its own. Payroll processing is priced by the number of workers, starting at $175/month, and payroll tax compliance can be added as a separate service.
Can I add payroll to my bookkeeping package later?
Yes. You can start with bookkeeping and add payroll whenever you’re ready. We’ll scope it with you and add it to your service agreement at our standard payroll pricing.
Can I purchase bookkeeping without payroll?
Yes. Bookkeeping packages start at $399/month and don’t require payroll.
How does monthly bookkeeping work?
Each month we record and categorize your transactions, reconcile your accounts, and close the month. Monthly completion is within 10 days, and your Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow statements are delivered by the 5th day after that 10-day completion period.
What happens if my books are behind?
Catch-up and cleanup are available as separate, assessment-based services. We review where your books stand and scope the work before monthly bookkeeping begins.
What payroll information is required to get started?
After you sign on, we collect what we need — such as your business details, pay schedule, worker information and pay rates, prior payroll reports if you’re switching providers, and your payroll tax account details if compliance is included. All of it is collected securely through your client portal, never through a public website form.
Do you handle payroll tax filings?
Payroll tax compliance is a separate service from payroll processing. Its base scope covers federal and one state, priced by the size of your team; additional states are scoped separately. Your service agreement lists exactly what is included.
Can MKB support multiple business entities?
Yes. Additional entity or location support starts at $150/month, depending on complexity, and each entity’s records are kept separate.
