Meet The Team



Payroll Pros is managed by Larry E. Roberts, CPA and founder. Larry has more than 10 years experience in accounting and payroll and felt that this would be a natural extension of an already thriving accounting practice. With the help of several key employees, he was able to make this happen. Payroll Pros was founded in October of 2006 with a vision to be the areas leading payroll service provider. Our biggest focus is on accuracy and customer service. We go out of our way to please our customers and have no problem with special requests. We vow that you will always have a live person answer your calls in a courteous and professional manner.

Of course, the success of our organization is not only dependent on Larry and he realizes that his business cannot be successful without his loyal and competent staff.
