Staffing Firm CPA & Compliance Support

I am launching a U.S.–based staffing company and need an experienced, part-time CPA who can guide me from formation through day-to-day operations. My immediate priority is staffing-industry compliance: making sure every step we take aligns with federal and state employment laws and that our payroll processes are watertight.

Beyond that first milestone, I will rely on you for the full spectrum of accounting and regulatory tasks a recruitment firm faces—annual tax filings, quarterly payroll reporting, ongoing bookkeeping, monthly financial statements, and solid budget planning that keeps our cash flow healthy.

You should already know the nuances that set staffing apart (co-employment concerns, worker classification, client contract implications, etc.) and be comfortable advising on the best legal structure, registering in the right states, and setting up accounting systems that integrate seamlessly with common staffing tools. QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or similar platforms are all in play as long as they support our compliance goals.

Deliverables I expect during the first phase:
• Written compliance checklist covering employment-law and payroll obligations for our target states
• Recommendation memo on optimal business entity and registration steps
• Setup of an accounting workspace (chart of accounts, payroll codes, expense categories) ready for live transactions

Ongoing engagement will include:
• Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliations
• Quarterly payroll and tax filings
• Annual financial statements and corporate tax return
• Proactive alerts on regulatory changes affecting the staffing sector

If you have a track record with recruitment or temp-staffing firms and can translate complex regulations into clear action items, let’s talk.
