Payroll System Implementation
Get your payroll system configured and live, on whatever platform fits your business.
With over 26 years of hands-on payroll experience across isolved HCM, ADP, Paychex, UKG, and Paycom, Brian handles data migration, tax setup, parallel testing, and go-live support so nothing breaks when you switch systems. Whatever platform you're moving to, he flags configuration issues before they hit an actual paycheck.
What's included
- Review of current payroll data, employee census, and benefits structure
- System configuration: payroll setup, tax profiles, benefits, and time & attendance modules
- A parallel pay cycle comparing old and new systems side by side to confirm accuracy
- Go-live support and team training
| Package | Includes | Timeline | Starting at |

Which systems do you work with?
isolved, ADP, Paychex, UKG, and Paycom, just to name a few.
Do you provide training for our team?
Yes, included in the Payroll + Benefits and Full Rollout packages.
What's a parallel run and why does it matter?
It's running your old and new systems side by side for one pay cycle to confirm the numbers match before fully switching over. It catches errors before they hit a paycheck.
Can you help us choose a system if we haven't decided yet?
Yes, that's the Payroll System Selection & Migration service below.
Payroll System Selection & Migration
Compare payroll platforms, then migrate to the right one.
Choosing a payroll system is expensive to get wrong. Brian compares the systems against your headcount, states of operation, benefits complexity, and budget, then hands you a decision-ready report or manages the full migration for you.
What's included
- System comparison and recommendation report tailored to your business
- Vendor demo coordination and negotiation support
- Full migration project management through go-live
| Package | Includes | Timeline | Starting at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comparison Report | System comparison and recommendation report | 1 week | $600 |
| Demos & Negotiation | Adds vendor demo coordination and negotiation support | 2 weeks | $1,400 |
| Full Migration | Full migration project management through go-live | Ongoing through go-live | $3,000 |
I already know which system I want, can you just handle the migration?
Yes, that's the Demos & Negotiation or Full Migration scope without the comparison step.
How do you compare systems?
Against your headcount, states of operation, benefits complexity, integration needs, and budget.
What if we're stuck between two systems?
That's exactly what the report is for. Brian lays out the tradeoffs specific to your situation.
Form 5500 / 401(k) Compliance Cleanup
Fix a failed or poorly scored Form 5500 filing and get your 401(k) compliant.
If your Form 5500 recently failed review or came back with a poor compliance score, Brian diagnoses what went wrong and builds a plan to fix it: late filings, data mismatches between payroll and plan records, missing signatures, or eligibility errors. He coordinates directly with your TPA or recordkeeper so the fix is clean on both sides.
What's included
- Review of your current 5500 filing and identification of errors or gaps
- A correction plan, coordinated directly with your TPA or recordkeeper
- Support through formal IRS/DOL correction programs (VFCP/DFVCP) if needed
| Package | Includes | Timeline | Starting at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Review & Diagnosis | Review of current filing and identification of errors/gaps | 5 days | $450 |
| Correction Plan | Adds correction plan and TPA/recordkeeper coordination | 7 days | $850 |
| Full Remediation | Full remediation support through VFCP/DFVCP if needed | 10 days | $1,500 |
Do you file the 5500 for me?
No, Brian works alongside your TPA or plan administrator to fix the underlying issue. Filing itself is typically done by them or your CPA.
How do I know if my 5500 has a problem?
Common flags: late filing notices, mismatches between payroll and plan census data, missing signatures, or an auditor flag on a large plan.
Will this affect our audit risk?
A clean correction reduces it. Small errors left alone tend to compound and draw more scrutiny over time.
Do you work with our existing TPA, or do we need to switch?
Brian works with whoever you already have in place.
Pricing is shown as "starting at." The exact scope and price are set on your free intro call, once Brian understands your situation. Payment is handled by secure invoice.
