CAVU brings extensive experience with payroll and HR

CAVU is a company formed by the union of formerly independent payroll service providers. These service companies process payroll for businesses in all 50 states.

Having spent over two decades working for and being a founder of businesses that have rapidly grown and scaled successfully in the payroll technology and service industries, we recognized how big of a challenge it is for growing businesses to find a payroll and HR company that can meet their evolving demands.

Small payroll companies are operated by well intentioned, hardworking entrepreneurs but most of these organizations are lifestyle businesses and cannot stay on top of their clients’ changing needs as they scale. These types of payroll businesses provide good customer service but lack breadth of services and technology growing businesses need and just don’t have the ability to service very many clients. These payroll companies typically are good for micro businesses under 10 employees.

Conversely, the large payroll providers and technology firms are all about selling as many clients as possible of all shapes and sizes and fail miserably at providing a personal touch. The corporate bureaucracy and accountability is distributed among serval players and the institutional attitude is undesirable. The bigger payroll firms also lack the agility to move quickly to address their clients’ changing requirements. These firms are notoriously slow and lack accountability.

These experiences directly shaped our vision, so in 2020 we set out to give growing businesses what they deserve and we started CAVU HCM - a one of kind boutique payroll and HR technology and services firm where relationships are our number one priority and our motivation is to meet our clients’ objectives and to constantly identify areas where we can bring value. CAVU was founded as an alternative to the small firm, as well as the oversized firms.

We give owners of growing businesses the high-end tools and resources to empower their growth.
