Ready to Setup Payroll?

Want To Pay Your Owners & Workers, The Right Way, The First Time?

Whether you are trying to correctly pay your workers, yourself or other business owners; the confusion can be equally overwhelming.

The answers for these questions are not easily found online:

How do I setup payroll for employees? And owners in an S-corp?
Should I use employees or contractors?
How do I hire & pay them? Calculate and file taxes?
If I elected s-corp but haven't been paying owners as employees, how do I get caught up?
I formed a business but have no idea how you I should pay myself or
other owners

This is exactly why I created my course:

Paying Workers & Business Owners -- To help you do things right
and fast!

Are You...

...UNSURE WHERE TO START?

There's so much contradictory and complicated information out there! There always seems to be yet another step that baffles and makes me question what I need to do...
...STRUGGLING TO FIND A SOLUTION?

You haven’t found a good person to hire; or they just won’t explain the options in a way you understand; or you just want to do it yourself so you can know that it’s right!
...TIRED OF BEING BEHIND ON PAY SETUP?

Pay is a big part of your business -- how can it be so hard to figure this out!?

...OUT OF TIME?

Time spent on payroll is time not spent earning money in your business. So far, you’ve spent way too much time or you just don’t have it to spend on payroll at all!
...RUNNING INTO QUESTIONS?

Maybe you’ve learned a lot, but there still seems to be never ending nuances and issues that arise; you wish you had someone to ask!
...WISHING FOR STEP-BY-STEP SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS?

Payroll and how business owners are paid, all lends to step by step instructions, but why can’t I find some!

Honestly! It's Not Your Fault.

THE ACCOUNTING & TAX INDUSTRY JUST DOESN'T SERVE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS!

The accounting and tax industry works with small businesses, the same way that they work with big companies -- and this just doesn’t work for most small business owners!

When you are juggling everything in your business, you need to actually understand the options, so that you can make decisions and do things yourself, right now!

Often, you can only best delegate that which you know first!

Would You Like To...

...HAVE CLARITY ABOUT THE OPTIONS?

So that you don't keep hearing about new options and wondering if you are missing out on something...Instead, actually understand all of the options and when to use them.
...KNOW THAT YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT!

You just want to finally know that you are doing everything right so that you don't have to worry about audits, surprise fines and penalties, or other mistakes catching up with you...
...HAVE A STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION?

You need know exactly what needs to be done, so you can easily follow the steps yourself, and you need to know you can trust the person (because they aren't selling you future services that they depend on for income!)

...MAKE THE BEST CHOICE TO SAVE TAXES?

You need to know how the options will effect you and your accounting and taxes, so that you can choose the best option for your wallet!
...HAVE MORE TIME & MONEY?

You didn't start your business to be wasting your time and money just trying to figure out how to pay yourself ... you want it to be simple, save you time & money and be done quickly!
...ASK YOUR QUESTIONS, AS THEY ARISE?

When you have a question, you need to get answers, so that you don't get stuck and stop moving forward altogether (without accidentally racking up a huge bill!)

Your Instructor

AMANDA RUSSELL MSA MBA EA

Amanda gained a high-level of accounting & tax expertise through earning a Masters in Professional Accounting, an MBA, and working at two of the "big 4" public accounting firms, (PriceWaterHourseCoopers and KPMG).

She was disturbed by the way that small business owners were underserved by the professional services (accounting, taxes and law). She always excelled at comprehension and eduction, and she began to develop her educational career through teaching at colleges & universities.

There Amanda encountered small business owners taking college courses to help them with their small businesses. College courses aren't designed for small business owners and they are costly and time-consuming. Again, she was disturbed by how desperate small business owners were for a quality solution for their accounting and taxes.

Through education and the internet, she saw an opportunity to use what she had learned to serve the underserved small business owners with better solutions and education - tailored to answering their specific questions and solving their problems.

Amanda's courses focus on helping small business owners master their accounting and taxes, so that they can focus on growing their business, mastering personal finance goals, and having a bigger impact in their communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course right for me? I'm not sure...

If you are struggling with ANY part of - "how do I pay myself" or "how do I do payroll myself" - then yes this course is going to be perfect for you.

You can't have a situation that isn't covered in this course, if your struggle involves pay. I designed this course that way intentionally because business owners ask the same questions (basically, the "wrong" questions in many cases)...

How am I so sure? Well, I've been at this a long time. And, it was in my heart and soul to simplify this for you, and I design the course accordingly...

I truly believe that we change the world for the better by having more regular people - small business owners like yourself - in positions of leadership and power in our communities.

This is why I'm creating these courses. If the course is by any chance missing what you need - I'll add it. End of story. The longer my courses are up, the more we re-work the content and spreadsheets, so things do continue to get more 'polished' but the information is all there.

If you still have questions about if this course is right for you, shoot me an email at contact@amandarussell.mba

What if I'm a business owner wondering the best way to pay ourselves for taxes?

Yes, this is for you! We have specific trainings and checklists for exactly how to pay yourself each type of business!

Plus, we include how to pay all types of owners (also covered in great detail!)

Will I be able to ask questions during the class?

Once you purchase a course, you can add on "Office Hours" for $99 per month (cancel at any time).

At "Office Hours," you can join Amanda live on zoom, where you can ask questions, share your screen, get help with your spreadsheets and learn from others.

"Office Hours" are generally the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month at 3 PM EST. If you can't make it live, you can ask questions through email that Amanda will answer live on the call.

Is there a money back type of guarantee?

No, I've chosen not to offer refunds because I want people to join who are serious and dedicated to getting results. Buying online can be scary, but...

You can watch me and get to know me on youtube, and
You can download and do my free trainings, and
You can get your money back if I don't deliver what's on the sales page (and I do, that's why I'm telling you this!)

What if I'm an S-corp and we haven't paid ourselves as employees?

Yes, this is for you!

There can be quite hefty fines and penalties associated with failing to file payroll or doing the wrong amount - so I highly recommend getting this fixed asap!

The course has specific trainings and checklists for exactly how to get setup and caught-up on payroll, including specifics for S-corps:

SPREADSHEET TEMPLATE: Calculating Reasonable Compensation Amount
Catching up all of your payroll tax filings
How to request late penalties to be removed

Step-by-step checklists for every part of the process!

How long should I plan to spend on this course?

The course is made up of posts of written instruction and short videos. If you did the entire course in one sitting, I'd plan for 3 hours.

However, the course is designed (like all my courses) to help you actually do the things. So, while it would certainly be great to go through the course from start to finish, you can just use it to guide you through the steps and refer back to it as needed.

It would be normal to need to re-watch the training on how you are paid in your business type many times, to help the concepts sink in. This is why an e-course is so great for simplify these topics because you need to re-listen over and over!
