About Hearth
The quiet engine behind growing businesses
Every business has a hearth — the steady source that keeps everything else running, rarely noticed until it goes out. For hundreds of growing companies, that role belongs to payroll.
We started Hearth because payroll shouldn't feel like a fire to put out every two weeks. It should be something dependable, humming quietly in the background, tended by people who actually know your business.
We pair dedicated specialists with best-in-class platforms — the human judgment to catch what software misses, and the technology to make sure nothing slips through. No ticket queues. No starting over with a new rep. Just one team, watching over the financial core of your company so you can spend your time building it.

Human first
A dedicated specialist who knows your name, not a rotating help desk.
Powerful tech, quietly

Nothing left smoldering
Compliance and filings handled ahead of every deadline, always.
