Former Competitive Golfer Aims to Open Payroll Franchise
GILBERT, Arizona – Feb. 25, 2025 –Payroll Vault, the fastest growing, award-winning payroll franchise, announced today it has recently expanded with a franchise in the East Valley with a long-time resident and former top competitive golfer.
Shelby Henning, a highly skilled competitive golfer with a track record of success, and her husband, Troy, have joined the Payroll Vault franchise family to support businesses in their community. Competing under her maiden name, Phillips, Shelby earned the title of PGA Junior Series Player of the Year in both 2007 and 2009. By the time she graduated high school in 2011, she was ranked No. 2 in Arizona and among the top 60 golfers nationwide. She went on to play collegiate golf on a full-ride scholarship at the University of Iowa, where she competed for four years while earning her bachelor's degree.
The Henning Family, which has two children and another on the way, is no stranger to running successful small businesses. Shelby gained valuable experience in human resources, accounting, and business strategy while working at her parents’ company before she and Troy launched their own thriving concrete floor coating business. Payroll Vault’s robust operational support and strong franchise network played a key role in their decision to join the brand.
“We decided to invest in a franchise because of the proven processes and structures already in place,” said Shelby, a longtime Gilbert resident. “We believe these key elements are crucial to running a successful business. After researching and meeting the Payroll Vault team, we instantly knew this company was the perfect fit for us. The support, systems, and vision they offer aligned perfectly with what we were looking for in the next step of our business journey. With my passion for small businesses and my knowledge of payroll, it felt like a natural and exciting fit.”
The new Payroll Vault franchise will serve small and medium-sized businesses in Queen Creek, Gilbert, parts of Mesa and parts of Chandler.
“I chose this area because it’s where I live and where I grew up,” Shelby said. “I have a deep love for the East Valley and feel a strong connection to the small businesses here. I’m excited to use my knowledge and experience to help local businesses succeed and thrive in this community.”
Beyond the franchise’s proven processes and structures, the Henning family values its fully remote operating systems with technical monitoring to ensure seamless operations. This flexibility enables them to focus on delivering exceptional service and driving client success.
Franchise Business Review recently recognized the franchise with seven industry awards, including “Best in Category” and “Top Franchises” as well as top honors in financial return, innovation, culture, and support for women entrepreneurs.
“Payroll Vault supports franchisees with the most valuable tools–time, talent and technology–so they can help small and medium-size businesses in every community,” said Oakscale Franchise Partner’s Chief Development Officer Joshua Kovacs, who manages franchise sales for the Payroll Vault brand. “As a franchise sales organization (FSO), we deliver a professional experience where franchisors and franchisees realize their own legacy and support businesses in their local communities.”
