| The Payroll Company |
The Payroll Company, Inc., is a leading provider of payroll and human resource solutions for small- to medium-sized
businesses. The company offers comprehensive payroll services, including payroll processing, payroll
tax administration, and employee pay services such as direct deposit, check signing, and paperless payroll.
Human resource and benefit services include 401K plan file transmittals, workers' compensation
administration, section 125 plans, and other administrative services for business.
The Payroll Company was founded in 1998. With headquarters in Middleton, Wisconsin, the company services businesses nationwide.
With 5 years personal experience in the payroll industry, and the successful implementation of over 350 new clients, there isn't much I haven't seen regarding payroll. Whether it is a new business with one employee, or a well established business with over 1,000 employees, I will treat each and every new client with the utmost in professionalism and respect. Our reputation is only as good as its last customer interaction, which is why over 65% of my business has come directly from referrals.
Processing payroll is a tedious, and sometimes troublesome, aspect of running a business that can be outsourced easily, and most clients I meet with are surprised at how inexpensive it really is. When you consider the time savings, not to mention the peace of mind knowing it is being done correctly, it is a service that I strongly believe every small to mid sized business should consider. That being said, I understand there is more than one choice for a provider. What I have learned over the years is that the most important payroll is the first one a business runs with us. The proper setup is key - I always take a hands on approach and am involved in the process to the point of even personally delivering their first payroll, to ensure everything is correct and to review the reports provided. |

to achieve the next level of performance to calculated success.
Many of today's most savvy business owners have discovered this
"new" strategic weapon. And many more are beginning to
discover they simply cannot keep pace without a coach.
Based on Action's
proprietary sales, marketing, advertising, team building, customer
service, operating systems and business development programs, the
Action processes show not only how-to increase business revenues
and profits, sometimes dramatically, but also how-to grow the business
so that the owner/principal can work less, relax more, and finally
enjoy business ownership with more time for their own personal goals.
The owner/principal is able to work ON their business, not IN their
business.

After Iain's
early business career in packaged goods marketing in Australia,
he moved to the U.S. with his family after selling his company to
an international advertising agency headquartered in New York. He
then spent twenty years in the U.S. as President of four small/mid-size
growth companies on behalf of investment groups resulting in the
eventual sale of these companies to generate the liquidity paths
for the investors. He has now taken this experience of business
building to form his own Business Coaching company to help other
small and mid-size business owners in central/southern Wisconsin
achieve their next level of growth and financial success for their
businesses that is consistent with their personal goals as the business
owner.

Rescue Desk is the executive assistant you need to get back the time you've earned.
We offer professional executive assistance to overworked small business owners and busy executives.

Owner Rachel Rasmussen is an experienced business professional, helping clients who need work done, but may not have the time, need or resources to hire a permanent or on-site employee.
Rescue Desk allows me to combine my experience, skills, creativity and resources with my passion and respect for small business. I work behind the scenes doing the things I love doing, all to give others the time and support they need to reach their full potential.

| Tracy Sanderson - REALTOR |
| RE/MAX Preferred |
|
Independent
Real Estate consultant focussing on helping people realize the american
dream of home ownership.
I truly enjoy assisting people that are relocating to Dane County
and the surrounding communities. Having been born and raised in
this great state has been wonderful and I pass along that passion
to my clients. In addition to working with relocation people, I
also enjoy working with local people looking to make a move. This
relationship tends to be a longer lasting friendship and can result
in life long clients.
Not only do I assist clients with home purchasing, I also work with
listing/marketing properties. Together, with the RE/MAX name, I
am able to give people 1st class service with a focus on internet
marketing, professional photos and professional virtual tours.
I truly enjoy the satisfaction of assisting clients on their journey
to home ownership or making a change in their lives. There is a
definate "warm & fuzzy" feeling when you walk into the right house
for a client.
My approach to the Real Estate business is to "make hay when the
sun shines" and that no matter what the level of dollar amount of
the transaction, "everyone put's their pants on one leg at a time."
In other words, work when work is to be done and treat everyone
the same!
