The Difference
Why owners switch to #ThePayrollGuy
Big-box providers hand you a ticket number. Derek hands you his cell.
Big-box providers

- A new rep every time you call.
- You're a line item, not a client.
- Software-first, people-last.
#ThePayrollGuy way
- One dedicated expert on your account.
- Enterprise Auris technology under the hood.
- Local, human support that actually answers.
- Price lock guarantee — no hidden fees, no rate hikes.
Our Promise
Real people. Locked-in pricing.
USA-based personalized support
Your account is handled by a dedicated expert here in the United States. No offshore call centers, no ticket queues, no starting over with a new rep every time you call.
Price Lock Guarantee
The rate you sign is the rate you keep. No hidden fees, no surprise rate hikes at renewal, no gimmicks — just transparent pricing you can budget around.

Deep Dive
Tax credits & benefits administration
Two areas where most owners leave money on the table — and where a dedicated expert makes the biggest difference.
Tax Credit Services
We identify, document and file the credits you already qualify for — so hiring and growth pay you back.
- WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) screening built into onboarding — no extra paperwork for your team.
- Retroactive and ongoing credit reviews, including R&D and hiring-based incentives.
- Federal, state and local credit eligibility checks as you hire and expand.
- Full documentation and audit trail prepared and filed for you.
Benefits Administration
Enrollment, deductions, carrier data and compliance — administered in one system alongside payroll.
- Online open enrollment with guided employee self-service — no paper forms.
- Carrier connections and deduction sync straight into payroll, every cycle.
- ACA tracking, 1095-C prep and eligibility monitoring handled year-round.
- New hire, life-event and COBRA-qualifying-event workflows managed end to end.
Signed,
Derek P.
Meet Derek
Payroll is the service. Relationships are the business.
I'm all about people. Behind every payroll run there's an owner trying to take care of a team, and that's what actually gets me out of bed — not spreadsheets. So I built my practice around relationships, not accounts.
That means you get my cell, not a ticket number. You get answers the same day, not "someone will follow up." And when something goes sideways, I own it and fix it — that's what accountability looks like.
I stay with my clients forever. No hand-off after onboarding, no revolving-door reps. I learn your business, your people and your busy season, and I'm still the guy answering three years from now.
Save time. Reduce risk. Take better care of your people.
No Headaches
Switching is easier than you think.
Your part takes about 5 minutes: write down your current provider login and pick a 4-digit security PIN. I handle everything else — white-glove, start to finish.
Gather your existing data
You write down your current provider login and a 4-digit security PIN. That's your whole to-do list — about 5 minutes.
We build & verify
I pull your history, wages, deductions and tax setup, build it out, then verify every number against your last few runs.
Training on your schedule
A walkthrough for you and your team — payroll, timekeeping, employee self-service — as short or thorough as you want.
Go live with support
We run your first payroll together, and I stay on as your dedicated contact from there on out.

Referral Partners
Let's grow together.
I'm actively looking for new referral partners who advise small and mid-sized businesses. Your clients get white-glove payroll, HR, tax credit and benefits support with our price lock guarantee — and you get a direct line to me, not a call center.
- One dedicated contact for every client you send.
- Transparent, locked-in pricing you can confidently recommend.
- Clean payroll data and reporting your team can actually work with.
