Meet the Founder
Experience you can see in every pay cycle
“Great payroll is invisible. Our job is to make it accurate, compliant and simple — so your people can focus on the business.”
PandaHCM was founded on more than three decades of hands-on experience in multi-state payroll processing, payroll and HCM implementations, business process review and analytics. That experience spans banking, retail, railroad, pharmaceutical, legal and manufacturing organizations — each with its own pay complexity.
Today PandaHCM brings that depth to mid-sized organizations who need senior expertise without the overhead of a large consulting firm.

FAQ
Common questions
What size companies does PandaHCM work with?
We specialize in small and mid-sized businesses with roughly 500 to 2,000 employees — organizations large enough to have complex, multi-state payroll and integration needs, but without a large internal payroll systems team.
Do you replace our payroll provider?
No. PandaHCM is an independent consultant. We review, optimize and implement around the platforms you use (or help you select a new one), so our recommendations are vendor-neutral.
What does a payroll process review include?
A review covers the full pay cycle — data intake, time and earnings, deductions, taxation, approvals, funding, reporting and every inbound and outbound integration — and ends with a prioritized roadmap of recommendations.
Which industries have you supported?
Our payroll and HCM implementation experience spans banking, retail, railroad, pharmaceutical, legal and manufacturing organizations.
