01

The paperwork behind payroll setup

Yang describes changing his business structure and the work involved in putting himself on payroll.

I have run my one-person business using Mercury for over a year, and this video is a paid partnership with the company. After going full-time, I began paying contractors such as a video editor and designer through the service.

My accountant recommended converting the business to an S corporation, which meant placing myself on payroll. Setting it up involved registering tax accounts, navigating government websites and tracking compliance filings manually. I would rather spend that time running the business and making content.

02

A sponsored payroll product preview

In a paid partnership, he describes Mercury Payroll’s registration assistance and balance checks.

Mercury Payroll runs inside the same account as the business funds, and Mercury’s team handles state-tax registration paperwork. Its preview shows employee pay and taxes before a run and checks the available balance for potential shortfalls. I would consider it when hiring his first full-time employee.
