“online, forward-thinking, solution”

We have worked with Offshore Payroll for a few years to help deliver efficient payroll services to our clients, and to support those clients running their own payroll function. It is great to work with an online, forward-thinking, solution, that is actively engaging with users to improve functionality and add new features.

In Guernsey we are used to finding software work-arounds where the technology was not initially designed for businesses based offshore, but Offshore Payroll has been specifically designed with offshore in mind, which is fantastic, and the locally based support means that help is never far away.
