The Birth of a Nanny Tax Service
I recently had to write a quick background blurb on HomeWork Solutions' services and history for the International Nanny Association. We celebrated our 15th year in business last month, and this was a walk down memory lane...
HomeWork Solutions' co-founders met for coffee in early February 1993 to discuss the idea that a 'nanny tax compliance service' could become a useful service business in the nation's capital. Armed with a print advertisement headlined "Don't be Zoë 'd" and news articles detailing the consequences to U.S. Attorney General nominee Zoë Baird for paying her domestic "under the table," the nation's first Nanny Tax company was founded. The company was introduced to the nanny industry at the International Nanny Association's annual conference (May 1993 Philadelphia), and the rest is, as they say, history.
Today, HomeWork Solutions is the leader in payroll and nanny tax compliance services to families nationwide. The firm's payroll services allow families to completely outsource the household payroll and tax remittance functions to payroll professionals. Payroll service subscribers offer their staff direct deposit of their payroll, paid time off tracking, and detailed pay period statements of current and year to date deductions. HomeWork Solutions offers other services that allow families to pay their workers directly and receive various levels of payroll tax compliance support.
HomeWork Solutions went online in March 1995 (4nannytaxes.com). Today clients can calculate payroll, draft FLSA compliant compensation agreements, register for services, and report all nature of payroll changes 24/7 through a secure client management gateway. HomeWork Solutions offers agencies free brochures for client distribution, and a reciprocal linking program to help agency Google rankings.
Don't laugh - our early website was certainly primitive! But remember - most of us were using 1200bps (or baud) modems to dial up Prodigy or AOL. See 1995 Site!
