Our Story
How it all started
Founded in 2001 in Springfield, Missouri, TPC started as a payroll processor—a company focused on making payday seamless and freeing business leaders from payroll headaches. Our name, “The Payroll Company,” reflected that early goal. But as our clients’ needs expanded, so did our vision. We quickly saw opportunities to provide more support across the full employee lifecycle—because payroll is just one piece of the HR puzzle! This inspired our evolution into TPC: More Than Payroll, where we provide all-in-one solutions for hiring, managing and growing teams.
Today, TPC is your ultimate business partner, empowering organizations with tools to attract top talent, onboard with ease, develop training programs, and nurture a company culture where employees thrive. We also handle the heavy lifting of staying compliant with constantly changing employment laws, taxes, and reporting requirements, serving as a full-service HR department just a call away. And when you reach out to TPC, you’ll always connect with a human who’s ready to help—no call centers, no runaround—just friendly, knowledgeable support from experts in our office.
