Payroll, books, licensing, insurance, compliance, and the fifty other things nobody wants to own. Baton runs your back office end to end, scoped and priced around your business.
Built for owner-operated businesses · No long-term contract
Payroll & software billed at cost. No markups ever.
A bookkeeper buried in the day-to-day. A payroll company that only runs payroll. A CPA you see in March. An office manager wearing eight hats to hold it together. Everyone owns a piece. No one owns the whole.
The bills, the permits, the new hire's paperwork, the tag that expires Friday — it all lands on the same desk. The problem isn't the person behind the desk. It's that there's only one of them.
The day-to-day gets handled. Customers are happy. But the big picture gets missed. Nobody's failing — but no one has the bandwidth to look ahead and plan.
Win a bigger contract, add a crew, buy a competitor — and the back office breaks before the field does. Winning should feel like winning — not drowning.
You win the jobs and get them done. We handle what's behind them — from payroll to permits — including the work most providers won't touch.
Clean books closed monthly, with job costing and margin visible by project — or by SKU.
Weekly processing, time tracking, and the paperwork behind every hire and separation.
Every truck, trailer, and machine tracked from the day you buy it to the day you sell it.
The calls to your CPA, attorney, banker, and vendors — made for you, not by you.
Renewals, audits, claims paperwork, and bonds — shopped and maintained without you chasing an agent.
The Baton platform, workflow automation, and managed IT when your tools don't talk to each other.
Every certificate, license, and filing tracked with a date on it — before somebody else notices it lapsed.
Reviews, local visibility, bid packages, and the website — kept current without you touching them.
Succession, growth planning, and getting the business ready to sell — whenever that day comes.
Baton was with me before I even owned the company.
"They built the financials for my SBA loan, then set up the books, the trucks, the insurance, and payroll after we closed. I bought a utility business — they built the office around it."
Every engagement is scoped to your business and quoted as one flat monthly fee — no rate card, no hourly billing.
A limited engagement with a start and a finish — see how we like working together before anything bigger.
Baton works with your current staff — picking up the slack and optimizing, so nobody wears eight hats.
Baton runs the office end to end — you need one person in the office, tops.
Final scope confirmed after a 20-minute call. Month-to-month after the first 90 days.
Twenty minutes. We'll map what you're paying for today, what nobody's covering, and what Baton would actually cost you.
We'll be in touch within 24 hours.
