Gpayroll: Your Friendly Neighborhood Solutions – A Payroll Balm

Asia-Pacific has become the melting-pot for emerging businesses, ideas, and innovations. It is taking the lead to become a powerful influence on the rest of the world, and also a sort of an inspiration, given the amount of brain-power that is generated at the region.

As the economies constantly evolve and expand, corporations are required to adapt to the constant regulatory and statutory changes, and these changes affect the finance and payroll of a corporation. In such a diverse and complex economic environment, it becomes a monumental task to handle all the complications that come with managing payrolls, taxes and compliance. This is where Gpayroll comes into the picture, like how Batman comes to save the day when he sees the alarm light. Goodbye payroll stress, this is the tagline of Gpayroll. Sound off your alarm and Gpayroll will be here, but unlike Batman, Gpayroll comes with a price-tag, yeah, this is the part that separates fiction from reality.

Gpayroll is an extremely friendly system that set herself apart from complex enterprise system, it is designed to be an automated system that helps employers focus on their core business rather than breaking their heads about performing a tedious task like calculating payroll. Gpayroll has made the whole process of payroll as automated as possible, saving the companies from breaking their sweat.

Inception of the company

Gpayroll took its birth from its parent company – i-Admin (Asia’s leading Payroll and HR Company). The COO of i-Admin back then, Sean Kim handpicked a group of experts from within i-Admin and decided to begin a new project to support local small businesses.

In the year 2014, an important meeting took place, a scene that would resemble the meeting of Cersei and Khalesi from Game

of Thrones, and the decision of forming a brand new company was taken, that would tackle the problems of payroll for local, small businesses – called Gpayroll. The launch of Gpayroll in 2016 at  Singapore was an instant hit and it quickly led to its existence in four other countries – Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, and China.

Gpayroll: A class apart

Gpayroll, if you’d have to accommodate it in one word, would be “unique”, now the word unique is so overused in the market that it has lost its purpose, but Gpayroll, is truly unique and there’s a reason to it. In all of Asia Pacific, which is a very vast area, about 7.6 million square kilometers vast, Gpayroll aims to capitalize at least 10 of the emerging economies by the year 2019.
