U.S. payroll. VICI Financial gives no employment-law, HR, or benefits advice.
Payroll — common questions
- Do we have to change payroll platforms?
- No. VICI Financial works with your current platform unless it keeps causing problems.
- Can you handle contractors as well as employees?
- Yes, including year-end contractor forms. Worker classification is a legal question VICI Financial flags rather than rules on.
Before you book
What a discovery call is
A discovery call is a two-way conversation about whether VICI Financial can help. If not, Joe says so early.
What we will talk about
- What the business does and how it makes money
- What is hardest right now
- Where you want the business in a year
- Whether VICI Financial is a fit, and the next step either way
Worth having handy
None of this is required to book — it just makes the first conversation more useful.
- Recent business and personal tax returns, if handy
- How the books are kept, and who touches them
- The two or three decisions you are weighing
Keeping your data safe
