Contractor & 1099 Management

Contractor onboarding, payments, and year-end 1099 filings.

Overview

What we deliver

We manage contractor records, classification reviews, payments, and year end information returns across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

We run the full contractor lifecycle for businesses that work with freelancers, agencies, and overseas vendors. Onboarding includes collection of Forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, UK self employment details, CRA T4A information, and ATO ABN data, plus classification reviews to reduce misclassification risk under IRS, HMRC, CRA, and ATO guidance. We track payments by entity, currency, and project, and reconcile contractor ledgers to your accounts payable each month. At year end we prepare and file Forms 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1042-S, T4A, and PAYG payment summaries with the relevant authorities and distribute copies to contractors. We also support backup withholding, TIN matching, B notices, and CIS deductions for UK construction contractors. Engagements keep your contractor records audit ready and your filings on time.

Client stories

What clients say

"

Holiday season was about to break us. We needed 22 agents in six weeks and our internal hiring pipeline could not move that fast. They staffed it, trained on our tone guide, and ran nesting alongside our senior reps. CSAT actually went up by three points during peak. First Q4 in four years my support lead took her vacation.

Our old site was a Frankenstein of three previous agencies. We gave them a hard launch date tied to a trade show and they actually hit it. 47 templates, full product catalog migration, no broken redirects on go-live day. Our previous vendor missed the same deadline twice. This time my phone stayed quiet on launch morning.
