In 1997, after spending several years in banking and brokerage industry, Kurt Rickhoff decided to join the family accounting firm to help his parents fill a technology void.  Among his first tasks was to find an avenue to offer direct deposit to their payroll clients.  Shortly after finding and establishing this service Kurt and his parents decided to focus on building a payroll service bureau to help service the neglected small business market.  In 1998 they formed a joint venture called Total Business Solutions with plans of growing and expanding their services.  The focus on customer service fueled growth and a need to invest in the industry’s leading software in 2001 keeping them on the technological leading edge for small businesses.
