Success Stories

Discover our work and the trusted partnerships we’ve built with clients around the world.

You’ve done a fantastic job supporting us at Arto! Our experience has been smooth, and we plan to continue working with you.

The team at Access Financial – specifically Christian Fowles-Smith and Charles – have done a fantastic job supporting us at Arto. Their dedication to cultivating the relationship and their proactive approach have been impressive. It is incredibly rewarding to see hard work pay off with such positive client sentiment.

Before partnering with Access Financial, our international expansion was a manual process of “Googling” and high legal fees.

Since day one, the team at Access has provided a ton of advice in areas that were completely new to us. They quickly became our main provider for non-UK placements because they always come out on top. Their response time is record-breaking, often getting us answers within the same day. This speed allows us to get contracts out the door without losing candidates to long wait times.

Having worked in the tech and SAP staffing sector for 25 years, I have relied on Access Financial for almost that entire duration.

Navigating the complex landscape of international compliance and legal requirements is a major challenge, but Access Financial makes it manageable through their global expertise. We count on their extensive breadth of knowledge whenever we are providing services in different jurisdictions.

Partnering with Access Financial provided the necessary reassurance and scope to operate safely across Europe.

One of the most significant benefits was their unwavering commitment to compliance, which offered security to both our clients and our contractors in an environment often filled with misinformation. Unlike some providers who offered questionable incentives, Access Financial prioritized giving the right advice and maintained an “audit mentality” that our own accountants and lawyers truly valued.

    Employees/Contractors FAQs

    What is an umbrella company?

    An umbrella company is an organisation that employs contractors as part of its business operations. Some umbrella companies, such as contract management or Agents of Record businesses, can offer services to self-employed individuals as well as those working through their own limited companies. Access Financial provides assistance in all three areas.

    What are the advantages of an umbrella company?

    The advantages of an umbrella company include providing a legal means of working that complies with local legislation. Without an umbrella company, a recruitment business would have to employ their contractors directly, which they may not have the experience and expertise to do. A competent umbrella company will ensure that you pay the correct amount of tax and social charges, neither less nor more than is required by law.

    How can I calculate my take-home pay?

    How do I get paid?

    Our company provides services in 60 countries globally and makes payments to the contractor/employee’s bank account in the currency they specify.

    Can I work simultaneously with different clients?

    If your contract does not prohibit it and your legal rights allow, you are free to work as you wish. However, there may be restrictive covenants in your contract, and many clients will be concerned about your focus being on their work and keeping their data confidential.

    What is an Employer of Record service?

    An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service or organisation that legally employs people on behalf of other companies. This setup is especially useful when companies want to hire employees in different regions or countries where they do not have a registered business entity. Access Financial is an EOR provider and helps employers hire employees in various parts of the world where their skills are needed.
