We are an industry-leading human capital management (“HCM”) company providing comprehensive technology and advisory solutions in human resources (“HR”), payroll processing, employee benefits, and insurance. As of May 31, 2026, we served approximately 840,000 total customers across the U.S. and parts of Europe, of which approximately 800,000 are payroll clients. Paychex was incorporated in Delaware in 1979, maintains dual corporate headquarters in Rochester, New York and Cincinnati, Ohio, and has a fiscal year that ends on May 31st.
Effective human capital management requires significant resources and expertise. Organizations face a rapidly evolving employment landscape including an increasing number and complexity of federal, state, and local regulations; the integration of AI into HCM processes; changing workforce dynamics; increasing medical inflation; and challenges attracting and retaining talent. Changing workplace dynamics include increasingly distributed, mobile workforces as well as employee expectations for user experiences similar to customer-oriented applications.
