Our Story
Salsa was born when a SaaS expert and a passionate payroll engineer decided it was time to create the most modern payroll infrastructure ever built.
We started with a vision
John saw the power of embedded financial tools while building HoneyBook—helping small businesses thrive and creating a $2.4B platform in the process. He wanted to make it even easier for others to build the next generation of financial products.
We scaled with experience
Juan built a 10-country payroll engine, scaled it, and sold it to Intuit. He spent six more years engineering payroll systems and dreaming of a better way: What if payroll infrastructure was faster and easier?
Now, we power the future of payroll
So, they teamed up to start Salsa with a bold vision: Payroll should be modern and simple. And we’ll lead the way.
Why the name Salsa?
Because paying people shouldn’t be a complicated dance. It should be smooth, satisfying, and maybe a little spicy.
