Running a small business means wearing many hats. You’re the visionary, the problem-solver, and often the person stuck processing payroll every pay period. Between calculating wages, withholding taxes, and staying compliant with North Carolina regulations, payroll can consume hours you’d rather spend growing your business.

If you’re a Winston-Salem business owner tired of payroll headaches, Lighthouse Small Business Solutions offers a better way. With over 40 years of combined entrepreneurial and financial expertise, we understand the challenges local small businesses face because we’ve been there ourselves.

Payroll Struggle is Real

Managing payroll in-house creates several pain points that impact your business:

Time-consuming calculations drain your schedule

Every pay period requires tracking hours, calculating overtime, withholding the correct taxes, and preparing pay stubs. Many business owners spend 4-6 hours per pay period just on payroll tasks.

Complex tax regulations create stress

North Carolina has specific tax requirements that change regularly. Federal, state, and local obligations create a maze of deadlines and forms. One missed deadline can trigger penalties that hurt your bottom line.

Manual processes invite costly errors

A simple miscalculation can underpay employees, overpay taxes, or miss important filing deadlines. These mistakes damage employee trust and can trigger audits from tax authorities.

Constant regulatory changes demand attention

Employment laws and tax tables update frequently. Keeping current with minimum wage rates, new reporting requirements, and revised regulations takes time most small business owners don’t have.
