Based in O’Fallon, Illinois, we offer a comprehensive range of digital payroll services, which we support with friendly customer service, to businesses throughout the country.
In 1997, Kurt Rickhoff walked away from a successful banking and brokerage career to join Rickhoff & Associates, his family’s accounting firm. His first assignment: to prepare the firm for the new century by adding the latest digital accounting technologies.
Kurt began by introducing direct deposit to the firm’s payroll clients. Discovering unmet payroll needs among local small businesses, he and his parents soon set out to build a payroll service bureau for the often-overlooked market.
In 1998, Kurt’s wife, Mindi, joined the firm as it launched Total Business Solutions, a joint venture focused on growing small business payroll business. By combining strong customer service with leading payroll software, the new business quickly moved to the technological leading edge for small businesses.
A decade later, Total Business Solutions rebranded with a name that better fit its mission: Payroll Central Inc. With Mindi at the helm as president, Payroll Central offers many of the same online payroll products offered by large, national companies—but with the personal customer service of a small, down-the-block business.
Payroll Central’s growing team of experts today serves the payroll-related needs of over 300 small businesses. While most are located in the metropolitan St. Louis area, we have the capabilities to serve small businesses in all 50 states.
Our experienced team can tailor a payroll solution to fit any company. Our products and services have grown to include a wide range of ancillary services, from human resource information systems (HRIS) and background screenings, to automated time & attendance and poster compliance solutions. Each can be integrated with our online payroll solutions, giving small businesses the secure, streamlined solutions from a centralized web-based location.
