Who We Are

We Are Your Payroll Experts

Shannon Theis, Owner — “I can’t wait to learn about your business!”

Payroll Solutions Plus

I love the part I play in the success of my clients’ businesses, and I can relate to them in many ways. I have also tried to do everything myself in my business, but I learned that to grow, I had to release some strings to allow me to do what I do best – financial management.

My A.A.S. in Accounting and B.A.S. in Business Management started me down the path that I continue today. While accounting and bookkeeping principles have not changed through the years, the tools that we use have. I have taken the time to become certified in different accounting software systems so that I can be as flexible as possible when working with different businesses, and because I’m a bit of a nerd.

Speaking of being nerdy, I get a thrill out of taking a mess of payroll data, correcting it and getting business owners back in compliance. It’s an even bigger thrill to help business owners get their big dreams back by helping them improve the way they manage their businesses.

Are you ready to gain the flexibility and freedom you need to do what you do best? Call me at 507-351-5088 for a consultation.

Easy to Work with Bookkeeper

Shannon has been a very dependable, easy to work with book keeper for my own business and my husband’s. She has the information all so organized at tax time that our CPA is grateful too! She has patiently taught me how to use QuickBooks for all my bookkeeping — including inventory tracking for many hundreds of products. Five stars!!

Shannon Always Exceeds My Expectations

I have used Shannon for a variety of services, and have always received service that exceeds my expectations. Not least: I have gotten QuickBooks advice from her that has saved me a lot of time (I was doing something the hard way!) managing one of the non-profits I work with. Thanks Payroll Solutions Plus!

Jeff

A Game Changer

Shannon has been a game changer in my fledgling business. This year I am prepping my taxes by running a few QB reports instead of fretting over an excel spreadsheet. I am so relaxed and it’s all because of Shannon! She is so willing to help and teach, which allows me to learn as well as delegate. She is also eternally patient and helped me clean up and input years of information, all without judging. Now I’m able to see my numbers so clearly and am set to budget and project more confidently going forward.

Lisa

Shannon is Very Detailed Oriented

Shannon is a very detail-oriented person, who was conscientious in her work. She was friendly as a coworker and appeared to take pride in her job.

I’m Completely Prepared Every Tax Season

Shannon answers all my questions thoroughly and accurately, even with some more challenging inventory! She has always been courteous and professional. She meets deadlines with no problem. My bookkeeping would be so stressful without her! I’m completely prepared every tax season and my CPA is happy with her work and how fast it makes his job go. Thank you, Shannon!

Abby

A True Professional

Connected with Shannon on The Successful Bookkeeper page and she has been a wealth of information to me. She has taken the time out of her busy schedule to assist me with my first two clients. It is truly amazing to see women helping each other to succeed. A true professional and will definitely recommend her services to anyone I can’t assist.

I Plan To Use Her Again in The Future

I am very pleased after hiring Shannon to help me out with my sales tax concerns. She made the process very easy for me and I plan to use her again in the future.

Kari

Shannon is Great to Work with

Shannon is great to work with. She removes the burden of messing with sales tax which frees me to run the parts of my business I enjoy and am good at. I never would have known about nor taken care of all the important sales tax details if I hadn’t asked Shannon to help. Thanks Shannon!!

Very Reasonable Rates

I recently hired Shannon to be my bookkeeper. She has been very accommodating to my needs as a new small business owner, is professional, and has a great attitude. She was able to tailor a plan for my needs and charges very reasonable rates.
I also know Shannon personally and have found her to be a reliable, honest, and has strong integrity.
I highly recommend her for your payroll and bookkeeping needs!
