Audit Assistance For Small Businesses
Audits can be disruptive, especially when you aren’t equipped to deal with agency requests or compliance fine print. This is where Izana excels. We do the heavy lifting, streamlining the entire audit services process, from the first letter to the final resolution.
How We Support You During a Payroll Audit
Whether you're dealing with the IRS, a state tax authority, or an unemployment audit, Izana helps you manage the entire process. Our audit services include:
Responding to Official Notices
When audit notices arrive, the deadlines are tight and the stakes are high. We don’t just give you clarity about why you received the notice—we take over communication with authorities to ensure you put your best foot forward.
Organizing Documentation
Many business owners don’t have a centralized system for storing payroll records—and even if they do, they struggle to pull it all together during a business audit. We eliminate the guesswork, tracking down what’s needed, when it’s needed.
Clarifying Worker Classification
Misclassifying employees and contractors often happens by accident, especially in small businesses without a formal HR department. We’ll review your payroll records to clarify roles, address discrepancies, and present the strongest case to regulators.
Filing Amendments & Refining Processes
If the business audit uncovers payroll errors, we’ll help correct them, refile the appropriate forms, and communicate directly with tax authorities to move things forward. Just as important: we’ll help refine your systems to prevent mistakes that trigger audits in the first place.
Why Outsource Your Payroll Audit?
Small business owners are already stretched thin. And when an audit hits, most don’t have the time or expertise to confidently respond to it. By partnering with Izana Payroll, you:
Reduce Risk
Missed deadlines, incomplete records, and vague responses can escalate business audits, triggering deeper scrutiny. We know what regulators are looking for and work quickly to get you back to normal.
Save Time
Chasing down documents, writing responses, and sitting on hold is not a good use of your valuable time. Let us take over, so you can focus on what you do best: running your business.
Gain Credibility
Partnering with an experienced audit support specialist sends a clear signal to authorities—you take the audit seriously. Our expertise gives you more credibility with authorities while ensuring you manage the process with confidence and clarity.
Improve Existing Systems
Business audits often expose vulnerabilities in payroll and compliance processes. We don’t just help you respond—we fix what triggered the audit so it doesn’t happen again.
