PAYROLL • HR • BENEFITS • BOOKKEEPING

Our Services

Employer Support Partners provides payroll services for small businesses, along with HR, employee benefits, and bookkeeping support for Canadian companies.

 

As your business grows, payroll and employee administration become more involved. Federal and provincial requirements must be tracked, payroll records need to stay current, and year-end responsibilities add another layer of work.

 

Our small business payroll services can include payroll processing, year-end support, remittances, and related administration, with additional HR, benefits, and bookkeeping services available as needed. You get experienced help with the work your team needs support managing.

Why Canadian Small Businesses Choose Us

Employer Payroll Services provides payroll and HR services for small businesses that fit around your existing team. Keep the responsibilities you manage well in-house, and bring in experienced support for the areas that need more time, attention, or expertise.

Canadian Payroll Expertise

Our Canadian payroll services help you manage the key requirements that come with paying employees, including CRA remittances, CPP and EI deductions, income tax, ROEs, T4s, and year-end reporting.

Temporary & Emergency Payroll Support

An absence, vacation, staffing change, or increased workload can leave you without your usual payroll resource. Our payroll support for small businesses can step in quickly and, where possible, work within your existing payroll system to keep scheduled payroll runs on track.

Our HR support for small businesses can include onboarding, employee records, workplace documentation, and benefits administration. This gives your team access to experienced help with the HR responsibilities that arise as you employ and manage people.

We can help you implement or improve payroll systems that reduce manual work and make day-to-day administration more efficient.

Bookkeeping That Works With Your Accountant

We provide small business accounting support through day-to-day bookkeeping, GST/HST tracking, reconciliations, and organized reporting. We work alongside your CPA or accounting firm to ensure they have accurate, up-to-date records for the accounting work and final submissions they handle.

Responsive, Personal Service

You work with a team that takes the time to understand your business, your existing processes, and the responsibilities you need help managing. That familiarity makes it easier to address questions and changes as they arise.

Employer Support Partners can become a practical extension of your existing team, providing small-business back-office services where you need them while keeping responsibilities clearly defined.
