What if your finance team worked like a Formula 1 pit crew? Spoiler: the only thing that should be slow is the victory lap🏁 In Formula 1, a good pit crew is the difference between winning and losing. Sure, the driver gets the glory (and the champagne), but it’s the crew that keeps the car running. Your finance team is the pit crew of your business: they keep the engine of your company running. Because without them, nobody gets paid. And if nobody gets paid, nothing gets done. But here’s the problem: F1 teams are built for this kind of precision. Finance teams? Often expected to do the same but with a toolkit better suited to rush hour than race day. It doesn’t have to be that way. With the right infrastructure, your team can move faster, stay compliant, and operate with the confidence of a crew built for the podium. Ready to shift into high gear? Let’s take it for a spin.

You spent 3 weeks sourcing that contractor, and 6 weeks later, they’re gone. Why? Here’s what the data shows: 🔹 33% of contractors leave within 6 months 🔹 44% leave before they’ve even made an impact That’s not just frustrating, it’s expensive. And it’s not because they’re flaky, or better offers. It’s because your systems are making it too easy to walk away. (And no, a welcome email and a PDF handbook don’t count as onboarding.) Slow onboarding. Clunky approvals. Late payments. Contractors don’t troubleshoot broken systems (especially not ones held together by spreadsheets and crossed fingers). One ‘Just following up’ too many, and they’re gone. Let’s call it what it is. This isn’t about talent. It’s about structure. Manual workarounds don’t scale. They were never meant to. Contractors don’t wait. Because when your systems work, your talent stays. 🔗 Want the full breakdown?

It used to take Aqua Security days to run payroll. Now it takes minutes. Managing payroll across six countries meant juggling spreadsheets, chasing email threads, and logging into more banking portals than anyone cared to admit.

The results speak for themselves: ✅ 90% faster payroll processing ✅ One-click funding in multiple currencies ✅ Fewer errors, fewer delays ✅ Full visibility across all payments and entities 🔗Read the case study here: https://okt.to/8kmuOL Payroll didn’t just get faster.

France vs Italy isn’t just a #ChampionsLeague Final. It’s also what your legal team calls “a compliance nightmare.” You’d be surprised how much paperwork it takes to win a football match in Europe. Temporary contracts. Cross-border hires. Bonus clauses buried in legalese. And thousands behind the scenes. All that, before anyone kicks a ball. Clubs like FC Internazionale Milano and Paris Saint-Germain have legal departments built for this. Most companies don’t. But they do have contingent workers in France and Italy, which is enough to keep Legal on speed dial. 🇫🇷 In France, payslips must be in French (yes, even if you’re paying from London). Employers contribute up to 45% of gross salary in social charges. Misclassify a contractor and see what happens. (Spoiler: fines. Lots of them.) 🇮🇹 In Italy, “co.co.co” contracts are a real thing. Payroll runs monthly, the 13th salary is mandatory, and yes, some sectors even require a 14th (Always a fun surprise in the budget review.) And if you’re relying on spreadsheets to keep up, let’s just say VAR won’t help your payroll, but our Countrypedia might: https://okt.to/6hZxJd We’ll let the fans argue over the score. We’re just here to make sure everyone gets paid correctly.

Happy #MemorialDay. We remember with respect, and keep showing up with purpose.

We asked about your 2025 workforce strategy. (To those who picked option four: we see you. And we’re concerned.) Workforce strategy in 2025 is being redefined by pressure and possibility. Many companies are leaning into contingent talent to stay agile without overcommitting. Others are doubling down on automation to scale efficiently. At the same time, hiring freezes and stricter headcount controls are pushing teams to do more with less. Vision sounds great. But in practice, the strategy is “let’s see how Q1 goes.” Turns out, that’s exactly what’s happening. Most companies are split between automation and agility, while a surprising number are still figuring it out as they go. The gap between intention and infrastructure is very real. And it’s exactly where things start to break, unless there’s a system in place to carry the strategy forward. If you're rethinking the plan, or still looking for one, it's time to give your workforce strategy an actual system. Click here: https://okt.to/8ah9bT

Budget $50K for a contractor. Then add 20% for reality. Between currency conversions, cross-border payment fees, and compliance overhead, companies typically pay 15–25% more than expected when hiring international contractors.

If you’ve ever ended a quarter wondering where all the money went, this one’s for you.
