Welcome to the Paper Trails Experience:

Where Payroll Is Just the Beginning

Payroll today is so much more than just payroll

Between constantly shifting compliance laws, rising employee expectations, and the increasing complexity of running a business, it’s no longer enough to just “run payroll.” You need a partner who can guide you through it all.

That’s where Paper Trails comes in.

 At the core of our experience (the inner circles above) is the individual attention and service that every client receives – no matter their size or industry. 

These core elements sit at the heart of The Paper Trails Experience – we’re more than just your payroll company, we’re your partner in all things compliance.

But surrounding that core is something even bigger: a full ecosystem of integrated solutions — from timekeeping and scheduling to HR consulting and performance management (the outer circle above) — all connected through one hire-to-retire platform that makes your day-to-day easier.

Where payroll meets progress

At Paper Trails, we combine our “3 P’s” framework with the Payroll Maturity Model to help you grow—from a payroll beginner with basic, manual processes to a powerhouse with fully optimized system that protects your business, empowers your team, and simplifies your day.

 Productivity

We help you streamline processes, reduce manual tasks, and build integrated systems so you can spend more time on strategy and less time buried in admin. From timekeeping and expense management to payroll syncing with your POS or accounting system — we’ve got your back.

Performance

People are your biggest asset. We help you recruit, onboard, train, and engage employees — all while making sure the first impression and the day-to-day experience reflect your brand and culture.

 Protection

Compliance is complicated — especially in Maine. We keep you up-to-date, audit-ready, and protected. From wage & hour laws to HR policies, employee file storage, fraud prevention, labor law posters, and beyond — we’ve built this into everything we do.

We don’t just run your payroll. We protect your business, support your people, and simplify your workday.

And that’s the Paper Trails experience.
