MICHAEL ROSS – Payroll, HR & BUSINESS EXPERT
The Payroll Champ
Who Champions You:
Your Lifeline
for Payroll & HR
Empowering Tools for Real-World Wins for Real-World.
I don’t push one-size-fits-all. I consult first, customize second. Auris’s intuitive suite handles the heavy lift; here’s how we make it painless:
Payroll
On-time, accurate pay via direct deposit or cards. Tax forms? Delivered flawlessly. Eliminate errors before they hit. Make payday great – for everyone, every time.
Time & Attendance
calable scheduling and tracking that grows with you, whether you've got a handful or hundreds on the clock. Automated, easy, and employee-approved.
HR That Grows With You
You don’t need a full HR department overnight—I build the support that fits you right now and scales as you grow. From basic handbooks and quick answers (Level 2), to regular strategy check-ins (Level 3), to me acting as your fully outsourced HR team—hotline, investigations, onboarding, the works (Level 4)—we level up together. No bloated packages, no forcing squares into circles.
Applicant Tracking
Quick postings, social blasts, text-based apps. Land talent that sticks, fast.
Stuck on benefits or insurance? I’ll link you to trusted pros – vetted, value-driven, just like us.
Why Me? Because I've Been in Your Shoes
Hey, I’m Michael Ross – the guy who turns payroll panic into peace of mind. Picture this: It’s 11 p.m. on a Friday, your team’s pay is glitching, and the big providers have you on hold with a chatbot. That’s when you call me. With a glass of wine in hand (yours or mine, doesn’t matter), I’ll sort it out – because I’m not just selling software. I’m your partner in the trenches, backed by Auris’s rock-solid tech and nationwide muscle.
Look, I’ve hustled three jobs at once, scrubbed bathrooms in restaurants, and led multimillion-dollar teams. Over 30 years of grit across industries, I’ve seen every payroll headache – from compliance curveballs to onboarding chaos. Now, as The Payroll Champ, I bring that street-smart know-how to small to mid-sized businesses like yours (11-250 employees, the sweet spot where growth meets overwhelm).
I’m your direct line – no corporate maze. With a 93%+ retention rate, my clients stick around because I show up, solve problems, and stay for the long haul. And with Auris (formerly Heartland) in my corner, you get accuracy without the cold shoulder. We’re talking same-day fixes, SHRM-certified guidance, and tools that actually make payday a win for everyone.
Bottom line? You’re not a number to me. You’re family. Let’s build something that lasts.
