Jacksonville Resident Opens New Franchise in North Carolina

Senior HRIS Professional Brings Payroll Vault to Area Business Community

I wanted a model that combines operational rigor with relationship-based service.”
— Kandi Harmon, Payroll Vault in Jacksonville, N.C.

JACKSONVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Payroll Vault, the fastest growing, award-winning payroll franchise, announced today it has expanded in North Carolina, signing a senior payroll and HRIS professional with extensive experience leading payroll operations for both seasonal and year-round workforces as its newest franchisee.

Entrepreneur Kandi Harmon, who lives in Jacksonville, purchased a Payroll Vault franchise to capitalize on her experience managing complex payroll cycles, implementing standardized payroll templates and processes, as well as overseeing compliance across multiple states with varying pay frequency requirements. Harmon’s background in coordinating onboarding workflows — including I-9 compliance, documentation management, and payroll system integration — demonstrates her commitment to operational precision and regulatory adherence.

“Investing in a Payroll Vault franchise allows me to leverage my technical payroll expertise, compliance knowledge, and HRIS leadership experience in an entrepreneurial capacity,” said Harmon who has been in the HR/payroll field for 20 years. “I wanted a model that combines operational rigor with relationship-based service. Payroll Vault provides a proven infrastructure, compliance framework and brand credibility, allowing me to focus on delivering high-touch, high-accuracy payroll solutions while building a locally rooted business.”

Payroll Vault offers franchisees fully remote operating systems with 24/7 technical monitoring to support continuous operations that include recurring streams of revenue from monthly, quarterly and yearly transactions. Franchise Business Review recently recognized the franchise with seven industry awards, including “Best in Category” and “Top Franchises” as well as top honors in financial return, innovation, culture and support for women entrepreneurs.

“The Payroll Vault model continues to attract senior payroll professionals who are committed to helping small and medium-sized businesses by providing a unique, boutique-style experience that is sorely lacking in today’s business community,” said Oakscale Franchise Partner’s President Joshua Kovacs, who manages franchise sales for the Payroll Vault brand. “As a franchise sales organization (FSO), we help franchisors and franchisees realize their vision with a complete package of award-winning technology, insightful training and effective marketing support.”

Harmon said there were several factors that led to her purchase of a Payroll Vault franchise:
The franchise’s emphasis on compliance and accuracy
The consultative, relationship-driven service model
The ability to support small businesses with enterprise-level systems
A structured operational framework that supports scalability

“The alignment between Payroll Vault’s standards and my own compliance-focused approach made the decision clear,” she added.

3 Reasons Why Payroll Professionals Choose Payroll Vault

The award-winning franchise delivers several benefits to franchisees to support sustainable success:

Payroll Vault franchises offer entrepreneurs a low-risk, low-capital investment of less than $100,000 to set up an exceptional return on investment. The franchise’s business model, which provides year-long revenue streams on a monthly, quarterly and yearly basis, offers small and mid-size businesses a full suite of services that include payroll solutions, HR solutions, background checks, worker’s compensation and payroll funding.

Payroll Services provide franchise owners with a wealth of knowledge to support their success. Franchise owners receive manuals for operational systems, client engagement agreements, pricing models, set-up of ancillary services and vendor partners, as well as project management services with a checklist review from your support team.

Franchisees also receive in-depth sales training support to ensure they are up and running within 90 days. The three-day owners training program kicks off continuous support by providing a comprehensive sales program so franchise owners can start onboarding new clients.
