Running a business is one of the most rewarding things a person can do — and one of the most demanding. Between managing employees, serving customers, developing products or services, and keeping up with the relentless pace of daily operations, the financial backend of a business often gets the least attention and creates the most stress. At Hollenbeck Accounting Services LLC, we have spent over three decades helping business owners across the country reclaim their time, reduce their financial risk, and build a clearer, more confident path forward — through expert payroll management solutions and comprehensive bookkeeping and accounting services that do far more than just crunch the numbers.

The Real Cost of DIY Payroll

Payroll sounds straightforward until it isn’t. Calculating gross wages, withholding the correct federal, state, and local taxes, managing garnishments and benefits deductions, filing quarterly and annual payroll tax returns, and staying current with ever-changing tax laws is a full-time discipline — not a task to squeeze in between everything else a business owner is already managing.

Mistakes in payroll are not just inconvenient. They are expensive. IRS penalties for late or incorrect payroll tax deposits can accumulate quickly, and employee payroll errors — even minor ones — erode trust and create HR headaches that take far longer to resolve than they should. The right payroll management solutions eliminate these risks entirely by placing the responsibility in the hands of certified professionals who do this work every single day.

At Hollenbeck Accounting Services LLC, founder Shawna Hollenbeck is a QuickBooks Online Certified Payroll Advisor with over 30 years of industry experience — meaning clients receive payroll processing, payroll tax management, and quarterly and annual tax filing handled with precision, timeliness, and the kind of accountability that only comes from genuine expertise. Whether you are a startup processing payroll for the first time or an established business ready to stop managing it in-house, the payroll management solutions at HAS are built to fit your size, structure, and industry.

Bookkeeping and Accounting Services That Go Beyond the Basics

Clean books are the foundation of every sound business decision — but most business owners don’t have clean books. They have months of unreconciled transactions, miscategorized expenses, disorganized receipts, and financial statements they wouldn’t feel comfortable showing a banker or investor. This is not a character flaw. It is simply what happens when financial management isn’t the core competency of the person trying to manage it.

The bookkeeping and accounting services at Hollenbeck Accounting Services LLC are designed to resolve exactly that — from the ground up if necessary. Services include accounts payable and receivable management, bank and general ledger reconciliations, financial statement preparation, monthly closing, budget assistance, financial analysis, chart of accounts setup, clean-up services for disorganized historical records, and asset management. For businesses starting from scratch, HAS also provides startup tax setup and small business licensing assistance — making it a genuine one-stop financial partner from day one.

What distinguishes HAS from a generic accounting platform or a generalist tax preparer is the client-centered philosophy behind every service. Shawna Hollenbeck built this practice on the conviction that exceptional, friendly customer service and accurate, timely results are not optional extras — they are the baseline standard every client deserves. As one long-term client put it, the team at HAS works as hard for your business as if they were your own internal team. That level of investment in client outcomes is what turns a bookkeeping relationship into a true business partnership.

The firm is also an IRS Electronic Return Originator (ERO) and QuickBooks Advanced Pro Advisor Certified — credentials that reflect the technical depth and professional accountability behind every engagement.

One Partner for Everything Financial

The most significant advantage of working with Hollenbeck Accounting Services LLC is the breadth of what is available under one roof. Rather than coordinating between a payroll processor, a bookkeeper, a tax preparer, and a financial consultant — each with their own systems, timelines, and communication styles — HAS clients have a single, trusted point of contact for their entire financial operation. Payroll management solutions, bookkeeping and accounting services, income tax preparation, local, state, and federal tax filing, and financial consulting all flow through the same experienced, accountable team.

For business owners who are tired of financial chaos, stressed about tax season, or simply ready to hand off the work that is keeping them from focusing on what they do best — this is the partnership that makes it possible.
