Payroll Review Built on Practical Experience
About Lanweather
Experienced Payroll Review Without the Big-Firm Complexity
Lanweather provides focused payroll audit and review services to small and growing businesses. Our work is built on practical payroll experience — the kind that comes from processing, reconciling and correcting real payrolls, not from a checklist written in the abstract.
Engagements are deliberately narrow and clearly priced. You are told up front what will be reviewed, what documents are needed, and what you will receive at the end. There are no open-ended retainers and no ambiguity about scope.
Every review results in a written findings report with severity rankings and actionable recommendations, followed by a conversation to walk through what we saw. Information you share is handled confidentially throughout.
Independent review
An outside perspective, separate from the team preparing payroll.
Clear findings
Written, severity-ranked and written in plain language.
Defined scope
You know exactly what is reviewed and what is not.
Confidential handling
Documents stay in private, access-controlled storage.
Why It Matters
Why Independent Payroll Review Matters
The people closest to payroll are also the people least likely to spot a pattern they created. Independent review is not a judgment of your team — it is a control. A reviewer with no involvement in preparing the payroll asks different questions, compares different reports, and looks for exceptions rather than confirmation.
Separation
Review performed by someone outside the payroll preparation process.
Consistency
The same 30-point checklist is applied to every engagement.
Evidence
Findings reference what was observed in the reports you provide.
Scope and Professional Boundaries
Lanweather is deliberate about what its engagements are. Being explicit about the limits of the work is part of doing it well.
Lanweather's payroll review services are designed to identify apparent payroll errors, exceptions and process/control opportunities based on information provided by the client. Services do not constitute legal advice, tax advice, a financial statement audit or an attestation engagement. Clients should consult qualified legal, tax or accounting professionals when appropriate.
