The work Speaks.
Every engagement at Sociél Muet Atelier is handled with the same standard: complete discretion, full precision, and a result that holds. Client names and identifying details are never disclosed. What is shared here is the nature of the work and the outcomes it produced.
This is not a case study collection. It is a record.

Mid-Market Organization — Multi-State Operations
Prior-period payroll tax reconciliation. Multi-state jurisdiction review. Agency coordination and refund recovery.
The organization had no visibility into historical remittance discrepancies. Internal teams had been filing and remitting on autopilot. A full prior-period review surfaced the imbalance — and recovered capital that had been sitting with tax authorities for years.
Six-figure tax refund identified and secured within nine months.
Prior-period reconciliation revealed significant over-remittance across multiple jurisdictions that had accumulated undetected over several years.

Large Enterprise — PEO Transition
PEO transition oversight. System configuration validation. Tax limit and data integrity verification across the full employee population.
Brought in as the independent strategic validator during a high-stakes migration. Every configuration was reviewed before go-live. Every tax limit was verified post-migration. The transition was clean.
Zero data loss. Full tax-limit continuity across 24,600 employees.
A PEO-to-PEO migration of this scale carries significant risk of tax configuration errors, data integrity failures, and mid-year limit resets. None occurred.

PE-Backed Organization — Pre-Audit Preparation
PE due diligence support. GL-to-payroll reconciliation. Multi-period compliance gap assessment. Corrective remediation.

Payroll infrastructure brought to audit-ready standard ahead of a significant organizational milestone.
Gaps between the General Ledger and payroll records were identified, documented, and corrected before external review.
