The company's robust product suite spans cloud-based accounting, HCM, and education solutions, with a strong focus on innovation through its Indian & Romanian Centres of Excellence. It boasts significant market penetration, managing nearly one million UK employees via its HR software and facilitating payroll services for one in six UK employees.
