I need an experienced QuickBooks Online accountant to set up employees, run one bi-weekly payroll, and generate the payroll reports. The work is for a US company based in Virginia.
What you will do
Create 3 employees in QuickBooks Online with their personal details, hire dates, addresses and W-4 information (Single, standard withholding).
Set up the pay types: one hourly employee with overtime, one salaried employee ($78,000 per year), and one fixed-pay employee ($2,200 per pay period).
Set up deductions and contributions: a pre-tax 401(k) as a percentage of gross pay (3% to 6%, depending on the employee), a pre-tax medical insurance deduction, and an employer medical contribution.
Run payroll for the bi-weekly pay period of Sep 28 to Oct 11, 2026, with a pay date of Oct 16, 2026.
Check that the taxes, deductions and net pay are correct before finalizing.
Generate these reports and send them to me as PDF or Excel:
Payroll Summary
Payroll Details
Payroll Tax Liability
Payroll Deductions and Contributions
Paycheck List
Journal Entry for the payroll run
Give me a short summary with total gross pay, total 401(k), employer taxes, and total employer cost.
