Payroll Vault opens franchise in Delaware

Payroll Vault recently announced it has expanded in southern Delaware, signing an enterprise sales executive as its newest franchisee.

Entrepreneur Justin Russell, a longtime Delawarean living in Rehoboth Beach, brings the award-winning payroll franchise’s expertise and technology to support the business community in southern Delaware. 

“After a successful career thus far, I decided to explore opportunities to build a business that is focused on providing businesses and the communities of southern Delaware with local and personalized services,” said Russell, who has extensive experience at Oracle, Johnson & Johnson and Dell EMC. “I had spent six months exploring the opportunities. While there are many great franchise opportunities out there, I was sold on Payroll Vault from the moment I met with CEO Sean Manning.”

After working as an accountant with his father, Manning realized that the payroll service industry was underserving small business owners, so he worked to create systems to streamline the process and exceed the clients’ expectations. In 2008, he founded Payroll Vault, a national leader within the independent payroll service provider industry.

“Sean saw an opportunity to revolutionize the payroll service industry for small businesses, and his vision has set a new standard in independent payroll services,” said Joshua Kovacs, chief executive officer of Oakscale Franchise Development, which manages the Payroll Vault brand. “Expanding Payroll Vault into southern Delaware means we’re continuing to grow a strong franchise brand that connects local businesses to a top payroll provider.”

Russell said Payroll Vault’s core values also convinced him to make the investment.  “One of the highest values Payroll Vault holds is integrity. We are more than just payroll processors – we advise clients on many business issues outside of payroll, connecting them with business leaders and other resources to advance their business. What sets Payroll Vault apart from our competition is the added value we provide with a higher dedication to service,” said Russell.

Russell added that Payroll Vault is ideal for small- and medium-sized businesses because of the one-on-one relationship offered with a dedicated payroll specialist, customized payroll service packages and flexible options that can be expanded to meet the needs of larger clients.

“I am looking forward to meeting our local business owners and showing how I can help them simplify their payroll and human capital management needs,” Russell said.

Adding to the reasons for becoming a Payroll Vault franchisee is the support corporate provides to its franchise partners, according to Russell. This includes custom systems to help new franchisees provide best-in-class service and simplify onboarding of customers, marketing programs and content focused on benefiting their local communities, direct support from Payroll Vault’s sales director, and support from fellow franchisees, among others.

“I can’t wait to launch my business and am excited about joining a brand which gives you the tools to succeed and truly treats you like a family member,” said Russell.
