When I first started a small business I had no idea how to to pay myself or do the taxes. I just saved every recent and was able to keep very good records for the first year. Then I found an account who I could sit down with and watch then do the work and answer any questions that came up. It cost more the first year to do it this way but by time it was over I had an ideal of what needed to be done for payroll, taxes, and accounting when it was over with. I am sure there is a better way but the stress involved was to much along with running a new business.
