Husband and wife duo, Tom and Tara Neja, founded Serendipity Payroll to provide a personal level of service to small and medium sized business owners whom deserve to be treated not just as a number, but a treasured relationship. We know our clients by name, their kids, their passions. Speaking of, we know one of their passions is their business and we go out of our way every day to support them, especially to make sure their employees are paid accurately and on time, as employees are the lifeblood of their business. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we could not be more vested in your success and we want to support you in any way we can. Whether it’s payroll services, assistance with HR and ACA compliance, or providing pay-as-you-go Workers Comp premium plans, we are here to support you and your growing business.
We live in Corona California with our teenage son Christian, and Labradoodle Bella. We enjoy being involved in our community, whether with the Corona Chamber of Commerce, Corona Life Services, Our City Church or other community organizations. We love spending time with family and friends, playing golf, hiking, working out (so we can eat), as well as getting away to the local beaches and mountains when time permits.
Give us a call, and remember… Payroll is our passion!
