1099 Contractors
All in One

Everything you need to pay 1099 contractors.

From the moment a contractor signs up to the moment their 1099 hits their inbox in January, Cleo Pay handles the entire lifecycle in one platform.

60-Second Onboarding

Industry-leading self-service onboarding. Contractors enter their info, verify their TIN, EIN, or SSN, and link a bank via Plaid, all in under a minute. No PDFs, no email chains.

Automated 1099 Filings

Cleo Pay generates, files, and delivers every 1099 form automatically. Federal e-filings, e-delivery to contractors, and corrections handled for you.

TIN & W-9 Compliance

Real-time IRS TIN matching on every contractor. W-9s collected, version-tracked, and securely stored from the first invite, so tax season is a non-event.

Bank-to-Bank Payments

Plaid-verified bank accounts, secure ACH rails, and full accounts payable workflows. Sync directly to QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and other ERPs without re-keying a thing.

Onboarding

Contractors onboard in under 60 seconds.

Your contractors get one link. They create an account, fill out their W-9, link their bank, and they are ready to be paid. No PDFs, no email chains, no chasing W-9s in January.
