Associated Industries of Massachusetts (A.I.M.) and Complete Payroll Solutions Inc. of Springfield and Attleboro announced today that they have formed an alliance under which A.I.M. will offer human resources services to clients of Complete Payroll.

The alliance will give Complete Payroll customers access to the full suite of management and human resource services and education provided by A.I.M.'s Employer's Resource Group (ERG). ERG delivers a broad array of consulting services, on-site training, public seminars and Web-based learning to employers around the state, including many of the association's 7,600 member companies.

Complete Payroll Solutions, founded in 2003, is the fastest growing privately held payroll company in New England. The 40-employee company provides innovative payroll, tax, employee benefit, and human resource solutions to more than 2,000 small and medium sized businesses in 50 states. The company competes by offering a broad range of products backed by industry leading customer service, including a six-month money back guarantee.

"This alliance puts Complete Payroll Solutions in the unique position of being able to offer products and services from the largest employer association in Massachusetts," said John Pettengill, Managing Partner of Complete Payroll. "We believe that the integration of payroll and employee benefit services with human resource and management services from A.I.M. will set us apart in the marketplace."

Richard C. Lord, President and Chief Executive Officer of A.I.M., said the alliance with Complete Payroll makes sense because both organizations focus on Massachusetts employers. He said A.I.M. looks forward to the opportunity to broaden the reach of the Employer's Resource Group, which has more than doubled in size during the past three years.

"A.I.M. is the primary provider of human resource services in Massachusetts, and the largest nonpartisan advocacy organization working to improve the business climate. We are delighted to be able to deliver these services to member companies that are clients of Complete Payroll Solutions," Lord said.

Associated Industries of Massachusetts (A.I.M.) is an integrated services organization that provides direct human resources and management services to members, and represents the interests of employers on public policy issues affecting the business climate of the commonwealth. The member companies and institutions of A.I.M. collectively employ more than 675,000 Bay State residents.
