Payroll Companies & Payroll Services in Concord, NH

Overview

CheckmateHCM is a family-owned payroll and human capital management firm based in Concord, New Hampshire. Established in 1994, the company began with a focus on high-touch payroll processing and payroll tax filing, positioning itself as an attentive alternative to large national processors.

Now led by owner and president Josh Robinson, and described on its site as a second-generation family business, the firm has grown its offering over three decades to cover timekeeping, HR technology, ACA tracking and related compliance reporting, while keeping its headquarters in New Hampshire and serving employers with operations in every state.

How the Firm Works With Clients

A central part of the Checkmate model is personal account coverage. Every client gets an assigned Client Account Manager, who works alongside the employer every pay period to keep processing accurate and on schedule. The company stresses that customers are known individually rather than handled as anonymous accounts.

Its platform calculates figures as data is entered, and a recap and funding report lets payroll administrators compare the current run against the prior period before anything is finalized.

Testimonials on the site mention long-tenured relationships, including one client served for more than a decade and a town finance office that moved to electronic timesheets and online access to pay stubs and W-2 forms.
