Message from the Owner

Hey there, I’m Kelly, and I’m so glad you found us.

We started YPD in 2016 with a simple idea: payroll should be personal, accurate, and easy. Today, hundreds of small businesses trust us because we’re real people who respond fast and do what’s right, every time.

If you’re over the runaround and ready for a partner who fits the way you work, let’s talk.

We’ll take payroll off your plate so you can get back to what you do best.

- Kelly Walton, Managing Partner
