The 3rd October 2016 marked activpayroll's 15th year in business.

As we reach this milestone, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and excellent team members around the world for the continued support over the years!

After starting as a local Aberdeen firm, activpayroll now has offices across the globe and is servicing customers in more than 120 countries, all without a sales team. During these 15 years, activpayroll has grown rapidly, building an impressive team of specialists in payroll, expatriate tax and human resources, launched the first ever in-house payroll academy in Scotland, and developed new products & services. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the trust customers put in us and the hard work of our team members!

I take this opportunity to thank you all again for being a vital part of our international expansion journey!
