Our Story

Cirrus Payroll was founded in 2012 by Tyler Winn, an Accountant who witnessed firsthand what happens when small businesses don’t get the payroll support they need. As an accountant, Tyler understood the standard that accountants 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, and with nearly 100 years of combined payroll experience, you can trust our team to get the job done right.

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.”

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 three kids. 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.
