We’re built to support the unique needs of your small business — with a smile!
Your success is our mission.
The expert who shows you the system is the expert who knows it best.
Led by Mike Prigge from our Riverwoods, Illinois, headquarters, our new business and partnership function runs on something most payroll companies can't offer: the person who demos the system is the same person who knows it cold. Mike walks prospective clients through exactly how Strongpay works, manages the referral partner relationships that send business our way, and serves as the technical escalation point whenever a larger or more complex setup needs someone who has seen it all before. After more than a decade building and running our implementation process, he brings advanced product knowledge to every conversation, so the answers you get in your demo are the same answers that hold up on your first live payroll and every one after.

A great first payroll doesn't happen by accident. It happens by plan.
Led by Nicole Kushner, who has spent her entire career at Strongpay learning every dependency that sits between a signed agreement and a clean first run, our onboarding team treats your implementation like what it actually is: a project with a timeline, owners, and checkpoints. Prior-provider data, tax agency setup, benefit and deduction mapping, 401(k) plan configuration, and parallel validation all have to land in the right order, and Nicole's team builds the plan that gets them there. Her detail orientation is why our clients find out about a wrinkle in week one instead of discovering it in week six, and why your first payroll with us feels like a milestone rather than a leap of faith.
