— 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.

Unemployment Insurance

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

No state W-4

Federal only. But local jurisdictions and tip credits still apply.

— Payroll in Summerlin, explained

Payroll pricing for Summerlin restaurants and service businesses

A ten-person restaurant at Downtown Summerlin usually lands between $249 and $299 per month, flat. That covers unlimited payroll runs, tip reconciliation, quarterly Modified Business Tax, DETR unemployment, federal 941/940, W-2s and 1099s, and workers' comp audit defense. Weekly payroll costs the same as semi-monthly.

Med spas, boutique retail, and personal-training studios sit in the same range. If you're paying per run today, weekly payroll is quietly doubling your bill for identical work.

Tip reporting done properly — POS to W-2

Tips are where Summerlin restaurants get hurt. We pull credit-card tips and tip-pool splits straight from Toast, Square, Clover, or SpotOn, separate mandatory service charges from true tips (they're taxed differently), reconcile declared cash tips, and claim the FICA tip credit on your return. Form 8027 gets filed when your headcount triggers it.

Nevada's two-tier minimum wage depends on whether you offer qualifying health coverage, so we set the correct tier per employee rather than applying one rate across the schedule.

Contractor vs employee in personal services

Med spas, salons, and training studios lean on independent contractors, and that's the single most audited arrangement in this space. Booth rent, commission splits, and set schedules each push a worker toward employee status.

We review every role, document the classification decision, and restructure commission and rent agreements so the answer holds up. Multi-location owners get one consolidated payroll instead of a spreadsheet per suite.

Owner pays first, even in a seasonal business

Summerlin traffic swings with the season and with school calendars. We set Profit First bucket percentages against your slow month, not your best one, so the owner's paycheck clears in February the same way it clears in November.

Tax reserves get swept every run, which means quarterly filings come out of a funded account instead of whatever happens to be in operating.

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.
