Fractional Payroll Leadership
Senior payroll leadership.
Without the
full-time hire.
Most mid-size organizations are too complex to run payroll on autopilot — but not ready to justify a full-time payroll leader. We fill that gap. Embedded expertise, at every level of engagement, on your terms.
Fractional leadership — your payroll expert without the full-time overhead
System implementations — UKG and ADP Workforce Now, end to end
Compliance & audit — California wage & hour, SOX, multi-state exposure
Strategic advisory — platform decisions, M&A integration, process redesign
How we engage
The right support
for where you are.
Embedded Payroll Leader
Ongoing fractional support where we function as your payroll leadership — managing operations, owning compliance, and providing strategic direction without the full-time cost.
System Implementation
End-to-end UKG and ADP Workforce Now implementations — configuration, testing, parallel processing, and go-live. Built right so it doesn't need to be rebuilt.
Payroll Audit
A rigorous review of your payroll processes, calculations, and compliance posture — with deep focus on California exposure most organizations don't catch until it's costly.
Strategy & Planning
Senior guidance for platform decisions, M&A payroll integration, or organizational restructuring. Expert input before you commit to something expensive to reverse.
Process Redesign
For operations that work but inefficiently. We map the workflow, close the gaps, and build something that scales cleanly as your headcount grows.
Hands-On Support
When you need an experienced payroll professional doing the work — not just advising on it. We operate at every level the engagement calls for.
Who we work with
Built for organizations that need more than a vendor.
Mid-to-large employers, HR consulting firms, and finance teams who have outgrown their current payroll setup but aren't ready to hire a full-time leader. We bring the expertise, own the function at whatever level is needed, and scale with you as your requirements change.

About
We work upstream
of the problem.
Most organizations don't find out their payroll is broken until it's already expensive — a wage claim, a failed audit, a go-live that unravels in the first pay cycle. By then, the damage is done.
PayGroup Solutions exists to change that sequence. We come in before the audit, before the implementation goes sideways, before California's wage and hour rules catch someone off guard. Our job is to find the exposure, close the gaps, and build something that holds.
We operate at whatever level the engagement calls for — from hands-on execution to strategic oversight. What we're not is a processing factory. Every client gets senior expertise regardless of what the work looks like.
That focus is intentional. It's where the real work is, and it's where we're most useful to the organizations we work with.
