— Two ways to work with us

You stay on the job site or in the kitchen. We carry the payroll.

Typing in hours is easy. Payroll isn't — taxes, workers' comp audits, W-2 vs 1099 calls, multi-state crews, tip reporting, and making sure you get paid first. About 8 in 10 of our owners hand all of it to us.

The full payroll stack, run by humans in Nevada.

Owner-first payroll

We restructure the payroll cycle so you — the owner — get paid first, every period.

Workers' comp audit defense

We handle the annual NCCI audit directly. You don't lose a day off the job.

W-2 vs 1099 review

Nevada's misclassification penalties are brutal. We document the call so you survive it.

Modified Business Tax filings

Quarterly MBT, UI, 941, 940 — filed and paid on time, every time.

— Nevada specifics

No state income tax. Plenty of other traps.

Modified Business Tax

1.378% on wages over $50k/quarter (general business). Easy to miscalc, expensive to fix.

Workers' Comp

Mandatory from employee #1 in Nevada. Annual NCCI audit determines your final premium.

New employer rate ~2.95%. Filed quarterly with DETR. Late = penalties.

No state W-4

— Payroll in Henderson, explained

What Henderson employers pay for payroll — and where the money leaks

Henderson crews grow in bursts: a builder goes from four framers to eleven in a season, then back down. Per-employee, per-run pricing punishes exactly that pattern. Our flat monthly fee starts around $189 for small crews and doesn't move when you add a mid-cycle hire or run a bonus check.

Included: unlimited runs, direct deposit, quarterly Modified Business Tax, DETR unemployment, federal 941/940, W-2s and 1099s, new-hire reporting, and workers' comp audit defense. No per-form fees at year end.

Built for Henderson builders and home-service trades

Custom-home builders in Anthem, MacDonald Ranch, and Lake Las Vegas run heavy sub rosters, and that's where misclassification exposure lives. We document the W-2 versus 1099 call in writing, collect and track certificates of insurance, and flag any sub who is functionally an employee before an auditor does it for you.

We also handle Henderson-specific admin: business license renewals lining up with payroll records, and Nevada State Contractors Board monetary limits that hinge on reported payroll.

Crews working across the California line

Plenty of Henderson contractors take jobs in California. That triggers California registration, daily overtime after eight hours, meal-and-rest premiums, and SDI/PFL withholding — none of which Nevada requires.

We register your California accounts, run true multi-state payroll in one system, and split wages by work state so neither state comes back asking questions. If the job is public works, we file weekly certified payroll too.

Profit First for Nevada LLCs and S-Corps

Getting paid last is the default for Henderson owners. We fix the mechanics: bucket accounts for profit, owner's pay, tax, and operating expenses, with sweep percentages set to your real margins and a pay date that hits before vendors.

For S-Corp owners we benchmark a reasonable compensation figure that holds up under IRS review, then split salary and distributions so you're not overpaying self-employment tax or inviting a reclassification.

Matt Frechette, founder of Profit First Payroll

— Founder story

Built by blue-collar, for blue-collar.

Profit First Payroll was founded by Matt Frechette, who brings 20+ years of hands-on experience in blue-collar environments. He's seen shops thrive — or unravel — because of poor cash flow, inconsistent owner pay, late crew checks, and workers' comp audit nightmares. PFP is built explicitly for trades and labor-heavy businesses: proper crew classification, project-based volatility, and protecting profit in high-risk industries.
