Our Story
The Story Behind
the Pink Promise.
Pink Payroll wasn't built in a corporate boardroom — it was born from the frustration of a small business owner who just wanted to pay her people without the headache.

A Message from Our Founder
Why Erica Built This Company
"If you call your provider, the person who answers should actually have the answer. No transfers, no case numbers — just help."
Erica Filippo started Pink Payroll after experiencing the same payroll frustrations you face today. She wanted quick answers — but instead was stuck with 50-digit security codes, endless hold music, and "support" reps who didn't know a payroll report from a bowl of spaghetti.
Erica believed that if you call your provider, the person who answers should actually have the answer. No transfers, no "case numbers," just help.
Nearly 18 years later, that simple promise is why our very first clients are still with us.
