From Salesman to Forward-Thinking CEO: Mark Bulmer’s Journey to Synchros
Synchros, formerly known as North Florida Payroll, made quite the splash this year with a bold rebrand. For Mark Bulmer, the CEO of this Tallahassee-based people management services company, the rebrand marks the start of an exciting new chapter for him and his team.
Mark’s journey in payroll began over 25 years ago as an Account Executive for some of the industry’s biggest names. Sales came naturally to him, but he never imagined he’d one day own and run his own business. However, his entrepreneurial spirit took over, and in 2007, he founded North Florida Payroll. From day one, Mark and his team have been laser-focused on delivering a superior customer service experience. Synchros prides itself on the personal touch it provides. When you call Mark and his team, they are always ready to assist you.
Under Mark’s leadership, North Florida Payroll flourished, expanding its client base nationwide and offering a more robust set of services. With an eye on the future, Mark saw an opportunity to evolve with the market and become a turnkey solution for any business’s people management needs. In 2023, Mark and his team — working with local marketing firm Hammerhead Communications — unveiled a new company name, Synchros, with a mission to help businesses stay in sync by offering superior people management solutions.
Building a Client-Centric Culture
Mark firmly believes that the secret sauce behind the success of North Florida Payroll, and now Synchros, is his team’s unwavering commitment to customer service. While many parts of the people management and payroll industries have gone the way of automation, losing that personal touch, the Synchros team takes a refreshingly different approach.
A Commitment to the Community
Mark’s leadership extends beyond the office. He is a strong advocate for community involvement, encouraging his team to roll up their sleeves and give back. From supporting Hunger Fight, ALS Association, and 211 Big Bend, to nurturing our future workforce by coaching youth football and baseball and contributing to the Leon High School lacrosse and Lawton Chiles football teams, Mark is always ready to show up for the community.
Looking Ahead: Evolving to Meet Client Needs
With over 20 years in payroll and people management under his belt, Mark still sees a vast ocean of opportunities ahead. His mission remains rock steady: to help CEOs and business owners grow their businesses by streamlining people management operations. Mark and his team are committed to continually adapting, customizing, and expanding their services to better serve their clients, allowing them to focus on day-to-day operations while Synchros keeps their business in sync.
