Meet ProService Hawaii
We Empower Employers to Succeed in Hawaii
At ProService Hawaii, we help employers hire, manage and grow their team with a suite of solutions to meet their needs for payroll, employee benefits, HR and compliance. Since our inception in 1994, we’ve been on a journey that has taken us from a small office in Kailua-Kona to one of Hawaii’s Top 250 employers and Best Places to Work. Today our offices are roomier, but our mission is the same: helping employers to succeed in Hawaii.
