— About
For the people who build the town.
Profit First Payroll exists for every blue-collar owner and restaurant operator who swore they'd do better — for their family, for the crew, for the regular in booth two, for the town that built them.
Matt Frechette — Founder
I grew up around guys who could fix anything except their own paycheck. Plumbers running million-dollar shops paying themselves whatever was left on Friday — usually nothing. Restaurant owners working doubles for years and ending the year owing the IRS.
The systems were built for desk workers, not for the people in the field. Payroll software wanted you to learn QuickBooks. CPAs wanted to see you once a year. Insurance auditors wanted documents you didn't know existed.
"Profit First Payroll is the company I wish my dad had when he was running his shop."
We do payroll the way it should've worked all along: pay the owner first, classify everyone correctly, file every form, and stand between you and the audit letter. Hands stay dirty. Pockets stay full.
Built by an owner
Not a software company. Not a national chain. Built and run by a human you can call.
