The company was founded in 1997 by Steve Sarowitz, who envisioned a more accessible and client-centric payroll technology solution. Identifying an unmet need for a robust, user-friendly system, Sarowitz bootstrapped the initial development of what would become an early cloud-based platform. His founding insight centered on transforming traditional payroll services into a more holistic and technologically advanced offering for businesses.

The company's vision centers on empowering organizations through innovative software that simplifies intricate tasks and improves employee experiences. It seeks to foster environments where employees feel valued and engaged, driving overall business success by focusing on people-centric solutions.
