“Our partnership with Cintriq has always been built on trust, honesty and a shared commitment to doing the right thing for customers. Bob’s reputation and connections in the market, coupled with his practical consultancy expertise, make him a valuable partner who understands where we can deliver the most impact. Over the years, we have developed a relationship that is consistent, reliable and mutually supportive, and we look forward to continuing to navigate the evolving global payroll landscape together.”
Organisations navigating global payroll outsourcing are increasingly clear about where they want to focus their time and expertise, moving away from complex administrative tasks internally and seeking partners that can take on the operational heavy lifting while ensuring compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Alongside this, the ability to leverage technology for payroll validation, reporting and control continues to grow in importance.
Meanwhile, global skills and talent strategies are reshaping payroll requirements. As organisations look beyond traditional geographic boundaries to find the right people, payroll models must be flexible enough to support diverse employment locations while maintaining consistency, accuracy and compliance.
In this environment, independent consultancy plays a critical role. By drawing on broad market knowledge and best practice across the payroll ecosystem, consultancy support helps organisations make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving landscape. Bringing this external insight together with internal teams enables organisations to better understand potential risks, avoid common pitfalls, and achieve outcomes that are right for their specific needs.
Reflecting on the partnership, Bob Rehill highlights the shared ambition to support organisations through this complexity with confidence and clarity:
The partnership between activpayroll and Cintriq is well positioned to respond to the evolving global payroll landscape. As organisations face increasing complexity, digital transformation and the integration of emerging technologies, the collaboration will continue to combine Cintriq’s consultancy insight with activpayroll’s delivery expertise to guide clients through change. By leveraging shared knowledge, experience and industry foresight, the partnership helps clients remain compliant, make informed strategic decisions, and stay prepared for emerging challenges, ensuring global payroll operations remain efficient, reliable and aligned with organisational goals.
