You didn't open your business to become a payroll clerk.

You’re Googling “how to calculate federal withholding” at 11 PM because payday is tomorrow

You missed a 941 deadline and now you’re checking the mailbox every day waiting for the penalty letter

Your employees keep asking why their check is different this time — and you don’t have a great answer

You’re paying for Gusto or QuickBooks Payroll but still doing half the work yourself

Mira — you busted your back to build this business. Running payroll shouldn't be the thing that keeps you up at night.

Every quarter you wing it is another quarter you're gambling with the IRS.

The penalty math

Miss one 941 filing? That’s a 5% penalty per month, up to 25% of what you owe. On a $40K payroll, one missed quarter costs you $2,000+. And here’s what nobody tells you in the Valley — the IRS can come after YOU personally. Your truck. Your house. Your savings. The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty is real.

5%

per month

The time you’re losing

That’s 12 full working days every year spent on payroll instead of running your negocio. Twelve days you could’ve spent with customers, growing sales, or honestly — just not stressing.

The odds aren’t in your favor

One out of every three small businesses gets hit with a payroll penalty every year. You might’ve dodged it so far, pero la suerte no dura para siempre.

$550/month. That's it. Everything handled. That's less than what one IRS penalty would cost you.

Why pay for payroll and bookkeeping separately when one team handles both?

Right now you're probably paying Gusto or some payroll service $150–300 a month — and you STILL have to find a bookkeeper on top of that. Two bills, two logins, two headaches, and neither one talks to the other. That's not a system — that's a mess waiting to happen.

2

We run everything

Wages, overtime, federal and state withholdings, Social Security, Medicare — every number checked twice.

Direct deposit or checks. On time. No more Friday afternoon scrambles wondering if the math is right.

Quarterly federal return, submitted before deadline. You get a confirmation. You don’t think about it again.

Your books stay clean automatically

Payroll data flows straight into your bookkeeping. One system. No re-entering numbers into two different places.

You want someone who picks up the phone and knows your name.

Gusto / ADP / Paychex

Them

They give you a dashboard and say “good luck.” If you enter a withholding wrong, that’s on you. Try calling them — you’ll be on hold longer than your lunch break.

NBC

We catch errors before they become penalties. You call, a real person answers. You can walk into our office on Nolana.

Trusted by local business owners who need payroll done right.

I got a letter from the IRS — $1,100 penalty because my 941 was two weeks late. Two weeks. That’s when I called NBC. They took over that same month and I haven’t touched a tax form since. Not one penalty in two years.

Client since 2023

Every other Friday I’d close my shop early just to figure out payroll. By the time I was done it was 8 PM and I hadn’t eaten. Now I text the hours Thursday and everyone’s paid by Monday. I got my Fridays back — and my sanity.

Cuando empecé mi negocio de limpieza, hacía la nómina yo misma con un cuaderno. Siempre me daba miedo equivocarme. Lo que más me gustó de NBC es que pude explicar todo en español. Me quitaron un peso de encima.

Straight answers. No runaround.

How much does this actually cost?

The SmartBook Growth plan is $550/month. That includes monthly bookkeeping, payroll processing, 941 quarterly filings, and W-2 preparation. Everything. Most Valley businesses are paying $400–600/month for payroll and bookkeeping separately. NBC bundles it for $550.

Can the IRS really come after me personally?

Yes — and this is what most small business owners don’t know. The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) lets the IRS hold business owners personally liable for unpaid payroll taxes. LLC or corporation doesn’t protect you. Your personal assets — home, truck, savings — are on the table.

I only have 2 employees. Is that too small?

No. Whether you have 1 employee or 20, the 941 filing requirements are the same. And penalty exposure doesn’t care about your headcount — a missed deadline on a small payroll still hits hard. NBC works with businesses of all sizes across the Valley.

¿Puedo hacer todo en español?

Absolutamente. Nuestro equipo es completamente bilingüe. Puede hablar con nosotros, hacer preguntas y revisar todo en español — como le sea más cómodo.

How is this different from Gusto or QuickBooks Payroll?

Gusto and QuickBooks are software — you’re still the one managing them. If you enter a withholding wrong, that’s your problem. NBC is a team. We run the numbers, catch errors, file your 941, and answer the phone when you call. And we bundle bookkeeping so your books and payroll are always in sync.

What’s the Payroll Compliance Report exactly?

It’s a free 15-minute call where we review how your payroll is set up right now — what’s working, where the gaps are, and where your penalty exposure is. We tell you when your next 941 is due and whether you’re ready for it. The report is yours to keep. No pitch, no pressure.

What happens after I request the report?

Someone from our McAllen team will reach out within one business day to schedule your free 15-minute call. We do this in English or Spanish — you choose. After the call, if NBC is a fit, we’ll walk you through what onboarding looks like. If it’s not, we’ll tell you that too.

WAIT...Your employees show up every day because they trust you.

They come to work because they believe that check will be there. That the taxes are right. That their W-2 will make sense in January.

You owe it to them — and honestly, to yourself — to have a real team behind that trust. Not a software login. Not a YouTube tutorial you watched at midnight. A team that knows your business and picks up the phone when you call.

You signed a lease. You hired people. You bet on yourself when nobody else would. Getting your payroll handled? That should be the easiest decision you make this year.

Six months from now, you're either the owner who handed this off and hasn't thought about it since — or you're back here, reading this same page, wishing you'd done it today.

You've read this far. That tells us something. Fill this out — we'll call you.
