Payroll Vault Santa Barbara is locally owned and operated, with the backing of a national network. Our team has worked together for more than 20 years, and we joined the Payroll Vault network in 2018.
What that means for you: the technology and compliance resources of a national company, and a local team that answers the phone and knows your name.

What makes us different
A dedicated payroll specialist. Every client works with one specialist who learns the business, the payroll schedule, and the details that matter.
A direct line to our team. Clients and accounting professionals can reach us directly. No phone tree, no support queue.
California payroll experience. Our team stays current on changing requirements so clients do not have to become payroll experts.
No annual contract. Clients stay because they value the service, not because an agreement locks them in.
An easy conversion. Our team manages setup and the transition, so changing providers does not have to mean missing a payroll.
Local by design
We work with businesses from Carpinteria to Goleta to the Santa Ynez Valley, in every industry. Santa Barbara has many wineries and hospitality employers, nonprofits, contractors, professional firms, and online sellers, and they are well represented among our clients. We know California payroll rules because we work under them every day, and we know the local businesses that have to follow them.
Our team
Our office is led by owner Karen Mora, who also founded Accountability Plus, a Santa Barbara bookkeeping and advisory firm. She is a past president of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Santa Barbara, a longtime member of the American Payroll Association, and has taught payroll at Santa Barbara City College. In 2023 she was named the International Franchise Association Franchisee of the Year. Meet the rest of our team.
Our mission
To give Santa Barbara business owners one-on-one, personal payroll service from a locally owned team, so they can spend their time running and growing their business.
Locally Owned & Operated, Nationally Supported.
