Thomas McMann
Director, ARTO Life Sciences
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.
Katherine Miller
Head of Legal & Audit, La Fosse
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.
Rupert Bassi
Vice President & Co-Founder, Linksap
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.

End-Client FAQs
Can I employ international workers without an EOR?
Yes, you can employ international workers without an Employer of Record (EOR). In many places, it is legal to hire someone without having a local entity. To do this, you generally need to register as a foreign employer (FE) and run a local payroll. You should put your employees on this payroll, withhold the payroll taxes and social charges, and then send the deductions to the authorities. You can contact our experts for a free consultation, and we will be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that takes on the responsibility of legally employing staff who work for your company. This means that the EOR becomes the official employer, handling tasks such as payroll, benefits, and compliance, while the employees work under your direction.
What is the difference between PEO and EOR?
The difference between PEO and EOR is that a PEO (Professional Employment Organisation) provides services to clients, including payroll, selection, certification, immigration, and HR functions, but does not act as the legal employer. On the other hand, an EOR (Employer of Record) is the legal employer.
What is the difference between AOR and EOR?
An AOR is an Agent of Record, which differs from an EOR as the AOR is an intermediary that does not employ the worker but either treats them as self-employed individuals or possibly outsources the employment to another provider.
Is using an employer of record (EOR) legal?
The answer depends on whether labour-leasing is legal or not. In some countries, there is no specific law relating to labour-leasing, such as the UK. Other countries have highly regulated labour-leasing, with Switzerland being a prime example. Finally, some countries have almost total bans on employing a worker and lending them to work under the control of another party, as seen in Belgium, Spain, and Namibia.
How much does an EOR cost?
Our rate starts at 550 euros per month or 5% of the contractor’s/employee’s gross pay, whichever is greater.
