Payroll Vault announced today it has recently expanded with a franchise in the Phoenix suburbs with long-time Peoria residents as their newest franchisee.
Taunya Altamirano, an accomplished entrepreneur known for her success with Live Love Drink Travel, has joined forces with her husband, Derek, a seasoned software engineer with experience in a Fortune 500 company. With over 20 years in the community, their unique background positions them perfectly to establish a thriving franchise presence in Maricopa and Yavapai counties with the touch of elegance and efficiency that only a boutique firm can offer.
“Payroll Vault truly fits our lifestyle,” Taunya said. “The integrity and honesty they brought to the process was impressive. Each conversation assured us it was the right choice.”
Derek said they will use their strengths to bring a much-needed boutique style of back-office payroll, accounting and HR services to small and medium-sized businesses: “We complement each other well—my focus is on operations, and Taunya excels at fostering customer relationships. Payroll Vault’s investment in the right technology supports everything we aim to achieve.”
The Altamiranos appreciate the franchise’s fully remote operating systems with technical monitoring to support continuous operations. This flexibility allows them to dedicate resources to high-quality service and their client's success.
