Origin
Built inside a staffing operation.
Proven before we took on a single outside client.
Monarch wasn't built in a boardroom. It was built inside ROI Agency, a workforce company deploying contract labor across utilities, EPC, and skilled trades.
We needed weekly payroll cycles, multi-state compliance, and back-office infrastructure that could handle operational pressure without breaking. We built it ourselves. Then we made it available to every staffing firm that needed the same.
Today we process over $100 million in payroll annually. ROI Agency was our first client. They're still with us.
That's the standard every new client inherits on day one.

Founder
Lucy Matson
Founder, Monarch Payroll Solutions
Founded by someone who lived it.
Lucy Matson founded Monarch Payroll Solutions after years working inside staffing and workforce operations. She saw firsthand how payroll failures eroded trust, disrupted placements, and created unnecessary chaos for operators trying to scale.
Monarch is her answer to that problem. Built from the inside out, by someone who has actually been in the room when payroll goes wrong.
"We've processed over $100 million in payroll for staffing firms across the country. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because we built systems, not shortcuts. I founded Monarch to give staffing operators the infrastructure they actually deserve."

Industries served
Where Monarch operates.
We support workforce operators across the verticals where payroll complexity is real and the margin for error is thin.
About Monarch
Payroll is not just administration. It is trust.
Monarch was built by workforce professionals who understand execution, urgency, and accountability. We've sat in the operator seat, met the Thursday deadline, and answered the worker on Friday morning.
That experience shapes how we run — disciplined, quiet, and dependable under operational stress.
