James Donnelly
James founded Top Dog Payroll Plus with one mission: give small business owners the same quality payroll service that big corporations enjoy — without the big-company price hikes.
After watching too many business owners get blindsided by 10–15% annual fee increases from the major payroll providers, James built a company around a simple promise — your price today is your price forever. No setup fees. No surprise invoices. Just honest, reliable payroll service backed by a real person who knows your business by name.

"I started Top Dog Payroll Plus because I watched too many small business owners get hit with surprise fee increases every January. Your price should be your price — forever. That's the promise I make to every client."
