Premier Payroll Services, Inc is everything a payroll service should be…ACCURATE, RELIABLE, FLEXIBLE, AFFORDABLE and PERSONABLE. We are part of a national network of payroll providers using software developed and maintained by iSolved. With over 3 million employees nationwide on iSolved, it is one of the fastest growing human capital management systems on the market today and was recognized as one of the Top 10 Payroll Solution Providers by HR Tech Outlook (a trade magazine whose focus is bringing customers the latest trends based on the top technologies and solution providers).

Premier started in 2000 to satisfy a need for our accounting clients who were dissatisfied with their national payroll providers. Our reputation for excellence in Customer Service quickly spread and PPS took on a life of its own!
Today, Premier‘s client base is much larger but the values we founded the Company on in 2000 remain the same:
- Provide accurate payrolls in a timely manner
- Treat every client the same, regardless of size
- No voice prompts ~ phones are always answered by a live person!
Owners
William D. March, CPA
A Magna Cum Laude Accounting graduate of Widener University and Captain of the Men’s Golf Team, Bill worked for a public accounting firm providing tax advice to businesses large and small. Despite his rise to Partner, Bill’s entrepreneurial ambition drove him to start his own accounting practice and later a successful Foam fabrication company, which he sold 5 years later. Bill then started Premier to fill the void his accounting clients were encountering with their national payroll providers – namely, Customer Service. Bill’s experiences give him the perspective to understand the multitude of jobs a small business owner must complete – from hiring to firing and sales to production. His unique background and entrepreneurial spirit allows Bill to understand what it takes to run a small business, an invaluable trait in the payroll industry.
M. Dianne March, MBA
A Cum Laude Marketing graduate of Villanova University, Dianne was a Workers’ Compensation Claims Adjuster who was promoted to become one of the youngest Supervisors at the national insurance company, Fireman’s Fund (a subsidiary of American Express). After getting her MBA in Computer Science (Temple University), she left the workforce and loved her time as a ‘stay-at-home-mom’ to their three children. In 2000, she joined Premier to setup the Operations end of the business to develop a systematic approach to accurately and efficiently process payrolls. Dianne implements the latest technology while always keeping the needs of the clients foremost.

An Accounting graduate of Lehigh University in 3-1/2 years and Captain of the Women’s Golf Team, Sarah worked for 2 years at a large public accounting firm before joining the ‘family’ business in 2007.

Sarah’s background enables her to be involved in all aspects of Premier – from Taxes to Operations to Marketing. Sarah’s husband is also a CPA.
