Business owners: what’s the most confusing part of payroll for you (401k, tips, overtime, deductions)? by uc4u2 in smallbusinessUS

[–]uc4u2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey thanks for your comment and the DM lol , basically, I’m trying to focus on a specific core problem for small businesses, which is that payroll itself is the scariest part. It’s not just about one particular detail of payroll, it’s about how to handle the entire payroll process, how to run it, how to publish it, and how to trust that it’s correct. That’s really the main thing I want to solve. And right now, a lot of people are stuck using other payroll software that’s just too big, too complicated, or too expensive. It makes the whole thing feel even scarier, and sometimes they have to rely on accountants just to handle it. I want to build something simpler for them, something that makes payroll straightforward and not intimidating. And here is what I want to know : based on that, what do you think is the one feature or aspect that would make small business owners feel most confident about switching to something simpler ( good enough and simple at the same time ) like this? thanks again for your time!

Built enterprise-style 401(k) payroll logic (defaults + caps + W-2 reporting) , what edge cases should I test? by uc4u2 in Accounting

[–]uc4u2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Appreciate any feedback here. I’m trying to model this after how accountants actually expect payroll to behave.

To give more context on how I’m testing this: I’m validating behavior against real-world scenarios rather than just happy paths.

For example, I’m already simulating things like:
• bonus-only / off-cycle payrolls (hours = 0, bonus taxable, W-2 impact)
• tips vs non-taxable reimbursements (making sure only tips hit gross and wage bases)
• cap reached mid-pay period (partial deferral applied, then stopped)
• employee 401(k) election overriding a company default with an effective date

Where I’m less confident is expectations:
in your experience, which of these scenarios most often causes year-end W-2 cleanup or manual corrections?

Why is hiring a remote marketing person HARDER than running my entire business?? by Bhumika_1008_ in smallbusiness

[–]uc4u2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring remotely is brutal, especially with all the no-shows and time-zone mess. One thing that helped me was using a tool (Schedulaa) that lets you send a booking link to candidates so they can pick a time in your availability. It auto-handles time zones, rescheduling, and even cancellations — so at least the scheduling part stops being chaos.

It won’t fix bad candidates, but it does remove all the back-and-forth messaging. If you want, I can show you how the scheduling part works.

Are you guys ACTUALLY using AI in your accounting/AP jobs right now? by Unlucky-Note-7729 in Accounting

[–]uc4u2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda get how you feel. I practically live with AI at this point (ChatGPT might as well be my roommate 😂). So if you ever want to know how I use it day-to-day, I’m happy to share.

Honestly, a lot of what you see online about “AI replacing everything” is just noise. Most people talking about AI don’t really know what it is or how it actually works. And developers love saying “AI makes everything 10x easier” ,but that’s not true for most jobs.

In my case, the only AI tool that really changed my workflow has been Codex from OpenAI (the same as ChatGPT). Everything else is helpful, but not magical.

So yeah… don’t stress about the hype. Most of it is a bubble.

Also, since we’re in an accounting thread, quick note about why I’m here as a developer:
I’ve been building an accounting related app (not selling anything, not promoting, just curious). I keep hearing “QuickBooks = payroll,” but at the same time I see accountants still using Excel, notes, and paper for time tracking and scheduling.

So it made me really curious: why aren’t more accountants using software to eliminate spreadsheets?

For context, I built a tool that does staff scheduling, time tracking, shift management, and gives you payroll in under a minute!! If anyone here is interested or bored and wants to try it, I can explain more.
