The Employee Retention Credit is an amazing benefit for employers who qualify. But as with any IRS regulation or tax credit, the rules are specific and must be followed in order to ensure that the credits are calculated accurately.



Whether you will be calculating the credits for your own business or utilizing a preparer to calculate the credits, business owners should have sufficient knowledge to understand and validate the credits.

Hi, I’m Christina Hageny


I began my career in payroll and HR in 2009, and have since become triple-certified (CPP, PHR, SHRM-CP). I thoroughly enjoy payroll because the laws are complex and ever-changing.


In 2020 I started my own payroll firm with the intention of helping small and medium sized businesses become more knowledgeable and compliant. I also utilize my firm and it's website to assist small businesses through payroll education.


To date I've processed ERC claims for more than 60 clients, obtaining over $6,500,000 in credits (and counting).
