OUR HISTORY

When Founder Thomas (Tom) P. Finucane, MBA, started Compass Payroll Services in 2000, he envisioned helping small business and non-profit clients with a comprehensive set of services at an up-front price. Out of that vision, he created Compass Payroll.

Mr. Finucane has been pointing his clients in the right direction ever since. He guides clients with his personal Quality Care Pledge, guaranteeing the accuracy and timeliness of employee checks, tax returns, and payments. The result: Compass Payroll Services is now one of the fastest growing full-service payroll companies in Ohio. In October of 2016, Compass was chosen to be the COSE preferred provider for payroll services.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"I have been with Compass Payroll since I opened my company 4 years ago and I would never want to go anywhere else! They are small enough to provide quick, nimble and personalized service but large enough to provide all the services I need, including online payroll document access for employees. They handle payment of all my payroll taxes and BWC payments on time, every time. I never have to worry about payroll because Compass Payroll is on the job!!"
"Thank you for all you do for me and my company!!"

— Destiny Burns, Founder/President, CLE Urban Winery

“When Tom Finucane and Compass began working with our church in 1998, it was truly a turning point in fiduciary excellence for New Community Bible Fellowship. Tom and his staff are professional, personal and uncompromisingly committed to customer satisfaction. A key reason for our success is because of Tom and Compass.”

— Kevin E. James, Senior Pastor, New Community Bible Fellowship

"Our company began using Compass Payroll because we felt insignificant to the large payroll company that we had been using. Compass not only makes us feel that our needs matter, they also cater to them. I would recommend Compass Payroll to any small business."

— Marissa Androsik, Co-Owner, 5 Guys Burgers & Fries

"We stopped using a “large payroll company” because we liked the more personalized service that Compass offers. It also appealed to me to work with a locally owned company. I like the package of small business services Compass gave us with their “all-inclusive fee.” I especially like all of the helpful service-oriented people I've worked with, (most especially, Mary Jane) and I can easily and honestly recommend Compass Payroll to any small business."

— Maria Keckan, President, Cinecraft Productions, Inc.
