The Payroll Department

Brownsburg, Indiana, United States

Payroll processing, IRS filings, and bookkeeping for churches, nonprofits, and small employers

Founded by Teresa Ray in 1990, The Payroll Department handles payroll processing, employee changes, and IRS filings so employers in Brownsburg, Indiana and beyond don't have to manage them directly. The agency collects withholding taxes from employer clients, submits them to the appropriate government agencies, and prepares and files the required payroll tax returns on the client's behalf.

More than ten years after opening, the agency expanded past core payroll to cover additional back-office needs. Current offerings include payroll processing for churches and non-profit organizations, bill pay, invoicing, sales tax handling, and independent contractor payments with 1099 filing. These are structured as optional services, letting clients add on what applies to their situation instead of committing to one fixed package.

Bookkeeping is handled by QuickBooks certified staff, a service the agency says reflects the same values it has held since 1990. Combined with payroll tax compliance and contractor payment reporting, this gives small businesses, churches, and non-profits a single office to work with for payroll, tax filing, and bookkeeping. Clients can reach the Brownsburg office by phone or at payroll@payrolldepartment.biz.
