Keeping employees happy starts with timely and accurate payroll. Let us take care of it for you.
Payroll taxes are expensive enough; processing fees should not cost you an arm and a leg.
We will take care of you!
Remember, we are business owners ourselves. The first time we hired an employee, we knew we were taking on a huge responsibility, but we knew that to grow we would need help. It was the moment when Backyard Bookkeeper became a true business, not just a job we had created for our selves.
When our first team member joined us, we were lucky because we already knew how to navigate all the rules and forms to file, so running payroll was easy for us. Yes, you read that right, there are a lot of rules to follow! Payroll taxes are nonnegotiable. If you don’t file or pay your income tax, it might take the IRS a couple years to catch up with you. But if you don’t file or pay your payroll tax, it will only take them a couple months to start looking for you, and you will have to pay stiff penalties and interest to resolve your outstanding balance.
We love what we do, and our payroll specialists enjoy navigating the ins and outs of federal and state payroll regulations. Read below to learn why our service is the best in the market.

Yohana has joined our amazing team at Backyard Payroll that provides outstanding payroll services. She embarked on her career journey at a young age. By the time she entered college, she knew the path she wanted to follow. Accounting, with its clear structure and the beauty of balancing numbers, was her first choice. Over the years, her passion for accounting has only deepened. She spent nearly a decade working in the Salt Lake City area, after starting her career at an accounting firm in California.
The transition to specializing in payroll came after she became a mother. This shift allowed her to combine her love for meticulous detail with the joy of ensuring people are compensated for their hard work. There’s something incredibly rewarding about the precision payroll services requires and the direct impact it has on making people happy.
Outside of work, Yohana’s heart belongs to music and quality time with her family. Whether it’s exploring new tunes or enjoying simple moments together, these are the things that replenish her spirit and inspire her in everything she does.

She has 20+ years of individual and small business tax preparation experience and 8 years of bookkeeping and payroll experience. Many of her tax clients have been with her from the start and she has had the pleasure of taking on their family and friends as well over the years.
Mary Ann has worked in many different types of business and finds them all interesting and intriguing. But, above all she loves to see the passion and excitement of talented business owners and enjoys helping them understand that good books help them make good decisions about their time and business and makes tax prep a breeze. She has had the opportunity to see many individuals achieve their small business goals and thinks it is way fun.
When she is not behind the screen managing numbers, Mary Ann loves being with her family, traveling, paddleboarding, riding her four-wheeler and basically just looking for the next adventure.
