President's Letter

To Whom it May Concern,

I have a passion for business. From the time I was eight years old, I knew that I had to be in business for myself as an entrepreneur. Some kids excelled in sports or went on to be doctors, lawyers, etc., but I went the route of starting and running six small- and medium-sized businesses. Now, after years and years of running these businesses, I have an appreciation for the administrative tasks and paperwork associated having employees. I affectionately refer to employee paperwork as "yuck paperwork," because there is nothing good or productive about it.

Payroll is perhaps the biggest culprit. And payroll begins on the “shop floor” with the collection of employee hours. Once those hours are collected, the typical Accounting Department then must make adjustments to that pay such as subtracting taxes, benefits contributions, wage garnishments, and other deductions and adding expense reimbursements, such as mileage. Then they run payroll (either internally or through an outside vendor) and paychecks are passed out. After running payroll, the Accounting Department tries to sweep up a million little details and magically get all of that data into their General Ledger software. And the cycle repeats itself over and over with each new pay period.

But “yuck paperwork” and mundane administrative HR tasks are not just limited to payroll. Administrative employment tasks such as new hire paperwork, Unemployment claims administration, Workers’ Compensation administration, Family and Medical Leave Act administration, tracking attendance, tracking and calculating leave time, and job costing, also put a heavy burden on a company’s Human Resources and Accounting Departments. My passion is removing this mundane and expensive paperwork from these departments by offering a more efficient outsourced solution that is less expensive than what they are presently doing. Basically, my company handles our clients’ “yuck employment paperwork” for them better, faster, and cheaper than they can do it themselves. And the best part is, we offer our services á la carte, so our customers only pay for what they use.

One of the reasons my companies are successful is because I have gone to great lengths to destroy the hidden expense that employment paperwork causes. By automating 100% of the employment paperwork and administrative tasks for our customers (and ourselves), they (and we) can spend more time focusing on our respective businesses instead of being distracted by non-revenue producing tasks.
