We Are Nice People Who Love Payroll

Our team is committed to delivering exceptional payroll and HR services, specifically tailored to meet the needs of small businesses. We care deeply about our clients’ success, and we take our role in helping grow their business seriously.

Our Story

Cirrus Payroll was founded in 2012 by Tyler Winn, a CPA who witnessed firsthand what happens when small businesses don’t get the payroll support they need.

As an accountant, Tyler understood the standard that CPAs hold themselves to. He also understood how frustrating it was to refer clients to payroll companies that were slow, impersonal, and impossible to reach. So he built something different.

The idea was simple: give small business owners the kind of personalized attention they deserve, with real humans who respond fast and actually care about getting it right. More than a decade later, that’s still exactly what we do.

From Our Founder

“It sounds crazy, but we actually love payroll. And we love to help. I founded Cirrus Payroll more than a decade ago because I wanted to give small business owners and their accountants the kind of personalized attention they deserve. I’m truly passionate about helping make our clients’ lives easier while creating a happy work environment for our team.”

Our Philosophy

Payroll should disappear into the background. You shouldn't have to think about it, worry about it, or spend time on it. When we're doing our job right, you never do.

We have a role to play in helping your business grow, and we take it seriously. With more than a decade in business and nearly 100 years of combined payroll experience, you can trust our team to get the job done—right.

This clarity empowers us to make better decisions in the present, ensuring that every action we take is strategic and aligned with the reality we are seeking to create.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
Proverbs 29:18

Our Core Values

Our core values aren’t just words on a wall. We talk about them often and we live them out every day.

Create Confidence Through Communication

We respond quickly, communicate clearly, and provide consistent updates so clients always feel informed and confident we're on it.

Close Every Loop

We relentlessly follow through on problems, tasks, and commitments until they are fully resolved. When you bring something to us, it doesn't fall through the cracks.

Be a Fountain
(Not a Drain)

We bring positive, helpful energy to every interaction. Payroll might be stressful, but working with us never is.

Tyler Winn

Founder & CEO

After several years in public accounting and consulting, Tyler started his own bookkeeping business in 2011. He quickly began to witness his clients struggling to find payroll solutions that made their lives easier. So he decided to offer payroll services himself. His clients loved it, and Tyler found his entrepreneurial calling. He founded Cirrus Payroll the following year, to give business owners a personalized alternative to the national payroll bureaus.

Tyler’s passion goes beyond the numbers. He loves building businesses, serving clients, and creating happy teams. He is a self-improvement junkie and is constantly thinking of ways to improve all aspects of the company.

Tyler has been featured in publications such as the Journal of Accountancy, Accounting Today, Clutch, and the Thriveal CPA Network Podcast. He is a finalist for Young Entrepreneur of the Year in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Tyler is happily married to Monica and they are both loving life with their two boys. In his free time, you might find Tyler hanging out in coffee shops around Tulsa, traveling the country, volunteering with his church, or around the BBQ with his brothers.
