1966 - The company began as PADGETT BUSINESS SERVICES® in Athens GA, to assist small
business owners with their bookkeeping and tax needs. PADGETT quickly
distinguished itself by using a proprietary-designed bookkeeping system
created especially for the small business sector.
1975 - The company grew rapidly in the Georgia market and after significant growth
for several years, entered into the franchising arena.
1987 - Having established numerous franchises throughout the United States, PADGETT
crossed the border and opened the first Canadian franchise.
1994 - Scott Hull started the Dayton franchise with 15 years of accounting experience.
1996 - Padgett began working in Washington, DC with appearances before the U.S.
Senate and House to testify on behalf of small business owners. With so
much pending legislation in Washington that was so important to PADGETT clients,
The Padgett Foundation was born two years later.

- Recognizing that the small business sector was not serviced properly by
the payroll industry, we initiated PayTrak Payroll Services® –
now powered by a nationally recognized payroll partner.
