Guy Maddalone is founder and CEO of GTM Payroll Services Inc., which offers household payroll, human resources, insurance, and employee benefits services. Recognized in the United States household employment industry as the national expert, Maddalone has been operating businesses that attend to household employment for over 30 years. Maddalone started in this industry by running a placement agency for home health care and senior care services with his mother, a registered nurse, employing over 100 caregivers (many of whom were live-in and live-out RNs, LPNs, home health aides, and companions). This home health care placement agency ran from 1985 to 1992 before Maddalone sold the business to another agency that is still operating today. Maddalone then set up a new placement agency to include nannies and other household staff, and named the company A New England Nanny. For 25 years, A New England Nanny has placed thousands of child care providers, nannies, senior care providers, companions, and household workers throughout upstate New York. Turning his attention to a different business model, Maddalone also founded GTM Payroll Services in 1991 to provide payroll and tax administration for his household employer clients, the first in the industry. GTM grew to be the nation’s premier household payroll and tax service, and manages more than $1 billion annually in payroll, supporting more than 30,000 employees. GTM has also made the INC 5000 list eight times as one of the fastest-growing U.S. companies. Maddalone conducts educational seminars throughout the country on the household employment industry, household human resources, household payroll taxes, IRS audits, tax compliance, and dependent care services for corporate employers. He is also a work-life dependent care consultant to Fortune 500 companies, a licensed property and casualty broker specializing in Workers’ Compensation, and a member of the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM). Involved with several prominent business organizations, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Inc. magazine, Birthing of Giants, and former president of the Albany Chapter of the Young Entrepreneur’s Organization, Maddalone also contrib-utes greatly to the community in which he lives—from coaching youth sports teams to mentoring local college entrepreneurs and giving to many charities, including the Senior Services of Albany, the Alzheimer’s Association, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Albany Medical Center, and the Homeless and Travelers Aid Society (among others). The eldest son of 13 children, the importance of family is integral to Maddalone. He and his wife, Diane, reside in upstate New York with their three children.
