About Us
![]() |
Checkmate is a family owned business that was founded in 1994 by Stephen Robinson, a CPA who had practiced in New Hampshire for many years and discovered that there was a lack of a local, independent organization that could offer payroll and related services that catered to the local business community.
Our mission is to provide superior solutions to our customers, treating each client with respect and care, and continually improving upon our core competencies of accuracy, timeliness, value and excellence in customer service.
Based in Concord, New Hampshire, Checkmate is growing steadily and serves over 500 clients today. No two clients are identical when it comes to their workforce management needs, and the Checkmate staff and its service offerings have grown over the years to meet these changing needs using state of the art technologies. Our staff is readily accessible and very knowledgeable – most have been with the company for at least five years and the remainder have been brought on since then to serve our steadily growing client base. All of our clients work exclusively with one of our CSR’s – you will get to know them and they will get to know you – establishing connections between our company and yours – which helps ensure long term relationships with our clients.
The backbone of Checkmate from a technology standpoint is provided through SaaShr.com, a leading Software as a Service (SaaS) company with a major focus on Workforce Management Solutions. We partnered with SaaShr.com because it is a high-tech organization focused solely on the development of customizable workforce management solutions. There was a clear synergy between our organizations because the partnership allowed us to provide a more advanced solution to our clients for less money than our competitors. Specializing in payroll and workforce management automation on our end allows our clients to spend more time specializing in their business, increasing business output, and therefore generating more profits.
