Activpayroll explains that its services encompass global payroll, global mobility, and international payments, with recent investment in a global HR services function, adding that it has benefited from the rising popularity of “work from anywhere” schemes that have prompted greater demand for payroll and mobility offerings covering complicated tax considerations of international teams.

Finance boss Nick Southwell said: "This year’s financial performance sets us up well for the future and we will continue to target long-term sustainable growth by focusing on strong-performing sectors and building an ambitious approach to acquiring new customers."

Chief executive Jason Allen said: "We’ve seen new appointments to the executive committee and have invested in significant key senior positions, and this has been further strengthened by significant investment in the business IT systems and infrastructure.

"As we prepare to celebrate 21 years in business this October, we will use this milestone to respect our past and celebrate our future,” he added, also acknowledging “looming global economic challenges”, but stating that the firm expects to “continue to deliver strong results”.
