Company Overview

The Power of a Good Idea: How Paychex Began
Paychex, Inc. today is much more than payroll processing. But as the company's array of products and services grows, the Paychex commitment to its customers remains as strong as it was when B. Thomas Golisano founded the company over thirty years ago.

Paychex is a top national provider of payroll, human resource, and benefits outsourcing solutions for businesses in the U.S. Paychex's core client is the small- to medium-sized company, but Paychex also meets the special needs of larger businesses with its Major Market Services. Paychex is based in Rochester, NY, and today has more than 100 locations around the country, serving hundreds of thousands of clients nationwide. In fiscal 2004, Paychex revenues were nearly $1.3 billion. At the end of fiscal 2004, the company reached a new milestone, serving approximately 505,000 clients.

Golisano started the company in 1971 with just $3,000 and a good idea how to make it easy and affordable for small businesses to outsource their payroll processing. He saw the huge untapped market: 98 percent of American businesses have fewer than 100 employees. Golisano went to his employer at the time, a regional payroll processor for big businesses, with his plan. The company wasn't interested, so Golisano struck out on his own. He launched Paychex with just one employee.

That single operation grew to include 18 franchises and partnerships, which were eventually consolidated into one private company in 1979. Four years later, Paychex went public and began trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Since then, double-digit growth has been synonymous with Paychex.

Working at Paychex
Paychex is a service company. That means that we value attitude as much as aptitude. Often we hire individuals that have little or no experience in our field. But, above all we look for motivation . . . a strong desire to perform. Providing the very best to our clients requires that we have the kind of can-do flexibility that gets results while building positive business relationships. And while we are results oriented, we thrive on openness, a commitment to personal growth, and the sharing of knowledge and experience. Whether you're working in a team or independently, we encourage creative approaches to our client's concerns, and all your contributions will be valued.

Paychex continues to receive national recognition for its success. In January 2004, Paychex was named one of the Best Managed Companies in America by Forbes magazine. The same month, FORTUNE magazine ranked Paychex among its "100 Best Companies to Work For" in America for a third consecutive year. Paychex has been named to Training magazine's list of 100 best training organizations for four straight years. In 2003, The Wall Street Journal ranked Paychex among the 25 companies that provided shareholders the best return over a 10-year period.
