How we hold the line

Three things we never compromise on.

Compliant by default

Country-correct contractor agreements, classification reviewed, IP and confidentiality clauses set to your operating standard.

Paid on the same day, every month

Pay run runs on a fixed monthly date — not when finance gets to it. Multi-currency payouts via your banking rails.

Renewal & offboarding handled

30-day renewal alerts, rate negotiation, clean offboarding with IP assignment confirmed and access revoked.

The flow

From inbound to closed, in four stages.

01
Onboard

Country-specific contractor agreement issued, signed, and filed. Banking + tax details captured securely.

02
Track

Monthly time/deliverables collected from each contractor. Approvals routed to the right manager.

03
Pay

Pay run prepared, FX pre-quoted, batch submitted to your bank. Payslips and remittance advice sent to each contractor.

04
Renew

30-day alerts before contract end. Renewal terms negotiated, or clean offboarding executed.

What you actually see

Where the line is

What's not ours.

We're embedded, not all-encompassing. Here's what stays with your team — by design.

  • We don't run payroll for full-time hires — that's your EOR.
  • We don't decide who to hire — your hiring manager owns selection.
Common questions

The questions every CFO asks first.

What about misclassification risk?

We screen each engagement against country tests at onboarding and re-test annually. If risk is high we flag for conversion to your EOR.

Can contractors invoice us in their own format?

Yes — we accept any invoice format and normalise it into your AP system. They never see your finance team.

What happens at offboarding?

We confirm IP assignment, revoke tooling access, run final pay including any owed expenses, and file the closeout in your contractor ledger.

Contractors get paid. Finance never opens a payslip.
