An accountant's eye on every paycheck

"Most payroll companies process payroll. We make sure it's done right."

Paymark Payroll was founded by Jerome Kenna Jr., an accountant and the founder of Landmark Business Solutions Inc. — a full-service accounting and business advisory firm based in Pittsburgh, PA. After years of working alongside small business owners and watching them struggle with payroll errors, compliance issues, and impersonal service from large national providers, Jerome saw an opportunity to do things differently.

The insight was simple but powerful: payroll isn't just a transaction. It's a financial function that touches every part of a business — cash flow, tax liability, employee trust, and legal compliance. Most payroll companies treat it like a commodity. Jerome treats it like the accountant he is.

"When you understand accounting, you approach payroll differently. You're not just moving money — you're managing a critical financial process that has real consequences when it goes wrong. That perspective is what we bring to every client, every payday."

— Jerome Kenna Jr., Founder

Paymark Payroll was built from the ground up to serve small and mid-sized businesses with the kind of expertise, care, and transparency that the big payroll companies simply don't offer.

Why small businesses
choose Paymark

We're not a software company that happens to do payroll. We're payroll experts who bring an accountant's precision to every pay run.

Accountant-Founded

Our founder's background in accounting means we don't just process payroll — we understand the downstream financial implications. Tax liability, cash flow, compliance — it's all considered.

Real People, Real Help

You get a dedicated payroll specialist — a real person in Pittsburgh who knows your business and picks up the phone when you call. No offshore call centers. No ticket queues.

Transparent Pricing

Our pricing is published right on our website. No sales calls required to find out what you'll pay. No hidden fees, no setup charges, no long-term contracts. Just honest, straightforward rates.

Built for Small Business

We specialize in small and mid-sized businesses — the businesses that get overlooked or underserved by the big national providers. Your payroll matters to us because your business matters to us.

Modern Technology

Our platform gives your employees 24/7 access to pay stubs, tax documents, and HR tools from any device. And our automated billing means no surprise charges or manual invoices.

Zero Missed Paydays

In our history of operation, we have never missed a payroll deadline. Your employees count on getting paid on time, and we take that responsibility seriously every single pay period.

Your payroll team
is right here in
the United States

In an era where many service companies quietly route your calls to overseas support centers, Paymark Payroll is different. Our entire team is based right here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — one of America's great working cities, where we understand firsthand the dedication it takes to run a small business.

When you call Paymark, you reach someone who lives and works in the same country you do, understands US payroll law at the state and federal level, and is available during your business hours. No language barriers. No 12-hour time differences. No frustrating ticket systems.

We serve businesses in all 50 states from our Pittsburgh home base — and we're proud of it.

Why it matters that we're American

  • US payroll law is complex — federal, state, and local regulations all apply. Our team knows them cold.
  • Your employees' pay stubs, W-2s, and tax documents are handled entirely on US soil.
  • You reach a real person during your business hours — not a support queue in a different time zone.
  • We stay current on every state's payroll regulation changes, so you don't have to.
  • Pittsburgh is a city built on hard work and integrity — values that show up in how we serve our clients every day.

Our values

01

Accuracy Above All

A payroll mistake isn't a minor inconvenience — it affects real people's lives and can create serious legal liability. We check, double-check, and verify every payroll before it goes out.

02

Radical Transparency

Our pricing is public. Our processes are clear. You'll always know exactly what you're paying, what we're doing, and why. No hidden fees. No surprises.

03

Small Business First

We built Paymark specifically for small and mid-sized businesses. We understand the stakes — for many of our clients, making payroll on time is everything. We treat it that way.

04

Human Connection

Technology makes payroll faster and more accurate — but it doesn't replace the value of a trusted advisor who knows your business. You'll always have a real person in your corner at Paymark.
