Payroll Tax Remediation & Compliance Advisory
The Situation

Two energy sector clients arrived with the same compounding problem: years of payroll tax backlog, inconsistent filings across multiple entities, and no documented processes. Penalties had accumulated. In one case, liens had been filed. Global payroll managers were operating without defined best practices or escalation paths.

What WCG Did
  • Full compliance audit across all active and dormant entities
  • Built a centralized tracker mapping every liability, deadline, and status
  • Developed SOPs to standardize payroll tax processes going forward
  • Contacted agencies directly — addressed notices, negotiated resolutions
  • Filed amended returns to correct prior period errors
  • Formally dissolved dormant entities to eliminate ongoing exposure
  • Advised global payroll managers on best practices and compliance frameworks
The Outcome
Active enforcement risk resolved
Penalties and liens addressed and closed
Dormant entities dissolved — exposure eliminated
SOPs documented for the first time
Global payroll managers operating on defined framework
Both clients moved from reactive to fully structured

The Situation

A licensed clinical professional came to WCG with an LLC and a vision — and nothing else. She wanted to launch a Connecticut-based Medicaid-funded home care agency but had no operational infrastructure, no compliance framework, and no roadmap for navigating CT DCP and CT DSS enrollment. She didn't need an advisor. She needed an operator.

What WCG Did
  • LLC structuring, EIN, NPI registration, and Operating Agreement
  • CT DCP agency registration + CT DSS Medicaid provider enrollment
  • Policies & Procedures Manual built to state standards
  • 4-tier caregiver compensation framework aligned to AFL Medicaid stipends
  • Investor business plan, financial projections, and rate card
  • Full brand identity, website, and marketing infrastructure
  • Referral network development and Year 2 Georgia expansion roadmap
The Outcome
Medicaid-compliant agency — fully structured and enrollment-ready
3 client referrals in pipeline before enrollment finalized
Investor-ready business plan and operating docs — complete
Brand, website, and marketing infrastructure — live
Georgia expansion mapped and planned for Year 2
