Being A Boss.
As COVID raged, I realized that I had capped out my capacity to take on any more clients without adding to my team. It was terrifying to think about adding that expense and responsibility though, and I vacillated for a while before I finally took the leap. Having managed payroll for several clients for a few years, I knew the basics and how to best manage it, but it was stressful to start the process and it's still stressful sometimes. Through conversations with clients and other small business owners, I know that being a boss and a manager can be a challenging and consuming part of your job.
Maybe, like me, your business is growing and it's time to bring on some help, or perhaps you have had employees for years, but it's a little more loosy-goosy then you want it to be, or maybe finding (and keeping) employees post-COVID has been harder than it used to be.
Whatever your employer situation is, we want to help you navigate the challenges this month and help you set things up for success. Here are some of the topics we will cover:
Getting started with payroll: where to set up and register as an employer, what are the requirements
How to go about hiring (and keeping) good employees, including what questions to ask in an interview so you find the right fit and don’t sound like an amateur
Benefits that small business owners can offer— they don’t have to be complicated or expensive
Employee policies and communication for success
How to be a better manager
What to do when it's time for an employee to move on, whether it’s their decision or yours
If you have questions or experiences with being a boss that you want to share, please shoot us an email or a comment on our social media. We look forward to helping you grow and become a better boss and business owner!
Reminder!
Estimated tax quarterlies are due SEPTEMBER 16!
