Frank VanDeBoe : CEO and Founder
Frank VanDeBoe founded Payroll Consultants Group in January 2000. Recognizing an unmet need in the Professional Employee Organization (PEO) and insurance fields, VanDeBoe launched PCG to bridge the gap between the needs of small business owners and the objectives of remaining financially viable and competitive.
Prior to forming PCG, VanDeBoe built a successful PEO career while rising through the ranks with notables such as Staff Leasing, Southeastern Employee Leasing and Employers Alliance. VanDeBoe has a background in sales and management which have served him well in acquiring top talent and growing PCG to 41 states with over 200 of the most talented agents in the country. Under the leadership of VanDeBoe, PCG has expanded their current service menu to include innovative marketing services, debit card and a variety of progressive solutions for clients.
VanDeBoe remains committed to the local community as well as passionate about the need for a strong relationship with clients. As a serial entrepreneur, VanDeBoe recognizes the need for small business owners, start-ups and partner affiliations to continually address the ever changing legal, financial and administrative landscape in order to run and grow a successful business.
Mike Martin : Executive V.P. and Chief Operating Officer
An award-winning leadership executive with nearly 20 years of industry experience, Mike Martin has a track record of leadership and success. Martin founded and served as CEO of an Orlando-based leasing firm for seven years. He also progressed through the ranks at Staff Leasing, Inc., to become regional manager of six branch locations prior to establishing his own firm. While with Staff Leasing, Martin surpassed all prior sales records and within a year, had built the 3rd most profitable branch in the entire nation. Shortly thereafter, Martin was responsible for building the number one region at which time he left to open his own PEO business in December of 1995. Starting from the ground up, Martin grew the company to $35 million dollars in gross billings by the time he sold the company in 2003. Martins rise at PCG has been equally enthusiastic as he continued his unsurpassed level of achievement and dedication to break all sales record and move through the ranks to his current position of General Manager within two years.
