Problems We Solve
Leap Into Independent IT Contracting Confidently
Retain your healthcare coverage when moving between contracts.
PCSx will ensure that you are protected against claims of negligence, errors, or omissions that result in financial losses for clients.
Focus on being an IT contractor, not an accountant, filing tax forms and processing payroll.
Payroll is managed; you don’t have to complete W2 forms, ensure compliance, or find a payroll vendor to do it for you.
Unlike consulting firms, freely search for contracting jobs that interest you with our list of vetted companies at your disposal.
Get paid without worries. Our payroll and accounting staff will ensure you get paid on time and adhere to all tax compliance requirements.
The Benefits are Worth Exploring
If you’ve worked as a full-time employee most of your career, but wondered what Independent Contracting would be like, it’s a great time to take the leap.
Turn curiosity into action.
We are here to ease the way to ignite your independence from full-time to contracting by providing all the back-office support necessary to take the leap into IT consulting.
That’s why PCSx was formed.
Administrative Services
Back Office Headaches Managed for Independent IT Contractors
Independent IT contracting with PCSx liberates you from corporate control. It empowers you to chart your professional path, negotiate better pay rates, choose clients and projects you enjoy, gain experience in various styles and technologies, and work locally or travel—it’s your choice!
But there’s still the burden of payroll, taxes, insurance, and benefits that come with being new at IT Consulting or a 1099 employee.
Our administrative services make your transition into independent contracting simple by taking the administrative tasks off your plate with our comprehensive back-office support and services.
Compare the pros and cons of working for PCSx versus on your own as a 1099 contractor:

The PCSx Fee
The PCSx fee allows us to provide exceptional support and services for you to succeed
Over half of the fee percentage is used to pay for the mandatory employer payroll tax, which is a contribution to your Social Security and Medicare accounts.
The PCSx fee is a fixed percentage rate determined once the onboarding process begins. The fee percentage is calculated against the invoice amount once the staffing firm receives the payment. The remaining balance is your gross pay before the pre-tax medical payment (if applicable) and standard payroll taxes.
The Fee breakdown:
Employer Payroll Tax (Contribution to Employee’s Social Security and Medicare) ~ 7.8%
Workman’s Compensation ~ 1.4%
PCS Administrative remaining expenses ~ 5.8%
