Payroll Vault Expands Into Kansas City

August 26, 2025 // FranchisePR.com // KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Payroll Vault announced today it has recently expanded with its first franchise in Kansas City with a local accountant/entrepreneur as its newest franchisee.

Entrepreneur Michael Tyll, whose family resides in Leavenworth, is an experienced public accountant in a range of financial services, such as tax law, investment taxes, wealth advising and employee benefit plan audits. As a strong customer-centric professional, he has earned an MBA and bachelor’s degree in accounting at the University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth. His expertise provides him with a broader understanding of compliance and regulatory requirements for small to mid-size businesses.

“My goal is to serve this region by being a trusted payroll and workforce partner for small and mid-sized businesses,” said Tyll, whose franchise will serve the business community in Fort Leavenworth, Leavenworth, Lansing and Kansas City (Kansas). “I want to make life easier for business owners so they can focus on what they do best—growing their companies—while knowing their payroll is handled professionally and personally. I also hope to bring a level of responsiveness and service that larger providers often can’t match, allowing me to build long-term relationships that help strengthen our local economy.”

As an entrepreneur, Tyll appreciates the franchise’s fully remote operating systems with technical monitoring to support continuous operations, without the need for investment in real estate.

“Payroll Vault continues to help small and medium-size businesses in every community by tapping the expertise of entrepreneurial-minded financial services professionals across the country,” said Oakscale Franchise Partner’s President Joshua Kovacs, who manages franchise sales for the Payroll Vault brand. “As a franchise sales organization (FSO), we prepare franchisors and franchisees so they can realize their own legacy.”

Tyll said owning a Payroll Vault franchise allows him to combine his expertise with a genuine desire to contribute–offering not just a service, but a relationship built on trust and local commitment.

“What really stood out to me about Payroll Vault was the company’s focus on personalized, local service—something that’s often missing from larger payroll providers,” Tyll said. “As someone with a background in public accounting and tax, I know how valuable it is for business owners to have a partner they can actually reach and rely on. Payroll Vault isn’t just a software platform; it’s a people-first approach to payroll.

“I was also drawn to the company’s commitment to innovation and compliance. Their focus on staying ahead of evolving payroll laws and regulations really aligned with my own standards for professionalism and accuracy. It felt like a great fit—both in terms of values and the level of support they offer franchise owners to succeed in their communities.”

As a new parent, Tyll added that he has a new perspective on balance, responsibility and what really matters.

“It’s also made me even more committed to building something meaningful here in the community—not just for clients, but for my family too.”
