Who we are

As a leading umbrella company and provider of accountancy, tax, candidate screening and international payroll services, we offer a comprehensive suite of services REC members can rely on.

With over 20 years’ experience, our financial strength and focus on compliance is second to none. We’re renowned for delivering exceptional support and customer service with excellent reviews across Trustpilot and Google, which is why we’re on more PSLs than any other provider.

And when we say our compliance is second to none, we don’t expect you to just take our word for it. We’re FCSA accredited, SafeRec certified, and we also invite one of the big 4 accountancy firms in to audit our payroll processes.

What we do

Our award-winning umbrella company supports salary sacrifice contributions into personal pension plans, while passing back employer NI savings back to contractors.

We provide tailored limited company accounting, giving business owners clear, practical advice and the flexibility to choose only the services that suit their needs.

Expanding overseas can be complex, with unfamiliar tax and employment laws. Our in-country payroll and employment services support agencies recruiting in the USA and ROI, ensuring candidates are paid accurately and on time, without the cost or hassle of setting up a foreign entity.

Our fast, compliant Candidate Screening service saves time, reduces costs, and minimises risk while helping you secure top talent. With experienced vetting professionals, cloud-based software, and fully integrated ID and background checks, we deliver a smooth, user-friendly onboarding experience from start to finish.

Why choose us

  • We take cyber security seriously, investing heavily in our IT and security infrastructure and achieving the highly commended Cyber Essentials PLUS certification and ISO 27001 Commercially minded
  • We provide payment terms to agencies whilst continuing to pay your contractors on time, because not everyone pays on the same terms
