Frequently Asked Questions.
What startups most frequently want to know before speaking with us.
For companies with 1 to well over 100 employees, who are digitally oriented and no longer want to handle their payroll themselves. From startups to hospitality businesses to agencies, we adapt to your setup.
Faster than you think. In an initial conversation, we get to know your company and clarify your needs. Afterward, you provide us with your master data, and we set everything up. Your personal contact will reach out, introduce themselves, and guide you through the first payroll run. Typically, you'll be up and running within a few weeks.
This is the most common scenario. We retrieve all relevant data from your previous firm and manage the seamless transition for you. You won't have to lift a finger. If you only want to transfer your payroll to us while keeping your tax consultancy with your current firm, that works just as smoothly.
