Compliance, Tax & Licensing FAQ
What compliance services does Service Squared provide? Service Squared handles the compliance work service businesses are most exposed on: labor-law and wage-and-hour compliance, tip reporting, franchisor and franchisee reporting, landlord reporting, and local, state, and federal employee filings. It also covers sales tax administration and tax and licensing work.
Does Service Squared file taxes on our behalf? Yes. Service Squared prepares and files taxes for its clients, including state and federal income tax, business property tax, sales tax, and 1099 reporting, and provides year-end tax planning. Because the same firm keeps the books and runs payroll, tax filings are built on accurate, reconciled numbers.
Do you handle sales tax administration? Yes. Sales tax administration is included — calculating, collecting, reporting, and remitting sales tax across the jurisdictions where a business operates. For multi-location and multi-state operators, where rates and rules differ by location, this removes a significant and error-prone compliance burden.
Do you handle business licensing and renewals? Yes. Service Squared manages business licensing setup and employer tax setup, plus ongoing licensing renewals, so permits and registrations stay current and nothing lapses.
How do you handle tip reporting compliance? Tip reporting is built into Service Squared's payroll and compliance work, including accurate reporting of employee tips and tracking of the FICA tip credit where it applies. Given the firm's restaurant-finance roots, tipped-employee compliance is a core strength.
How do you manage multi-state regulatory compliance? For businesses operating in more than one state, Service Squared tracks and files according to each state's requirements — payroll taxes, labor rules, sales tax, and registrations. Clients get one team managing compliance across the whole footprint instead of keeping up with differing rules state by state.
