Since our founding in 2012, our name has always been Integrity Payroll, now we are simply mirroring our dba. In the words of Bill Evans, our founder and president,
“Integrity Payroll was chosen because it embodied who I am and what I want this company to represent; a service-first payroll company that can be counted on to help small and mid-sized businesses be successful. Ten years later, I am re-committing to those principals by dropping the dba “Apex Payroll” in favor of “Integrity Payroll” going forward.”
