The Café Atelier is a 60-Minute advisory/strategy session designed for Founders, Project Managers, and small business operations leaders who are facing payroll challenges and need clarity before making their next move. Whether you’re dealing with an operational problem, evaluating a system or PEO decision, working through a recurring payroll issue, or simply need another experienced perspective.

Sometimes you don’t need a full consulting engagement. You need an experienced executive-level payroll operations consultant to sit down with you, look at the issue, and help you determine what to do next.

Bring your questions, concerns, documents, or situation to the session. We’ll use the 60 minutes to talk through the issue, identify what matters, challenge assumptions where necessary, and determine practical next steps based on what we uncover together.

You’ll leave with:

  • Answers to your questions

  • A clearer understanding of the issue

  • Recommendations for what to address next

  • And a concise written summary of the discussion and agreed-upon next steps

Your strategy plan tells you exactly what to do, in what order, and why.

If you’re ready for a strategy that feels like the support you need at this phase of your business journey, book yours now.

Pricing is based on value, complexity, expertise, and business impact, not solely on time.

What would change if you could stop carrying payroll problems around in your head?

You’re trying to run and grow your business while payroll issues keep demanding your attention. You’re answering questions, fixing errors, following up with vendors, checking work, and trying to figure out what needs to happen next. As the business grows, payroll gets more complicated instead of easier. You feel personally trapped in administrative quicksand. You need someone who can help you get out of the weeds, make decisions with confidence, and know that the work is being handled correctly.

The Signature Package gives you ongoing access to 30+ years of executive-level payroll operations experience without requiring you to commit to a full project.

We start with a Kick-Off call to understand what is happening in your business:

  • What is working

  • What is broken

  • What you have already tried

  • Where you need help.

From there, we focus on the issues and decisions that matter most to you each month.

You get time back, fewer things to carry, and a clearer path forward. You get someone who knows payroll operations and can help you work through problems, answer questions, review what is happening, and help you decide what needs to happen next. You get ongoing support as your business changes, grows, hires, expands, or encounters something you have not dealt with before.

Your Signature Package includes: a Kick-Off session, ongoing access and support, payroll operations guidance, review of payroll-related issues and decisions, help identifying what needs attention, and written next steps when needed.

The goal is for you to spend less time managing payroll problems and more time running your business.

Project-based (starting pricing)

You have a payroll project that needs to be done right, but you don’t have the payroll expertise to carry it yourself.

You’re a Founder, Project Manager, or Business Operations Leader responsible for getting something important across the finish line. A payroll system is changing. A PEO transition is underway. Payroll tax problems need to be corrected. Multiple entities, states, or payroll populations have made the project more complicated than expected. You need the work handled properly without becoming responsible for every payroll detail along the way.

You want the project completed correctly, on schedule, and without discovering expensive problems after the fact. You want someone who understands payroll to work alongside you, catch what others may miss, answer the questions that come up, and give you confidence that the payroll side of the project is being handled. You want to be able to move forward knowing the work has been checked.

The Privé Package gives you dedicated executive-level payroll expertise for a defined project.

Depending on your project, deliverables may include:

Payroll Operations Planning & Risk Prevention

  • Payroll operations review

  • Payroll risk and gap identification

  • Prioritized action plan

Payroll System Implementation & PEO Transition Oversight

  • Pre-implementation payroll data validation

  • Parallel payroll testing review

  • Tax configuration and setup validation

  • Payroll-to-general ledger mapping review

  • Post-transition stabilization assessment

Payroll Tax & Compliance Remediation

  • Prior-period payroll tax reconciliation

  • Payroll-to-general ledger tie-out

  • Identification of underpayments, overpayments, and misapplied funds

  • Exposure analysis and documentation suitable for audit or agency review

  • Clear remediation summary outlining corrective findings

If you have a specific payroll project that requires experienced payroll expertise and a defined beginning, scope, and outcome. This is for you; the right person involved for the project, not another task added to someone’s already full plate.

We discuss what you’re working on, what needs to be done, where you need payroll expertise, and what success looks like for the project. From there, the project scope, deliverables, timeline, and investment are defined.
