We're on a mission to simplify expatriate payroll.
Learn about our team dedicated to making exceptional expatriate payroll solutions.
Our Story
Our founder Richard started Certino in 2017 having notched up 25 years of experience managing mobility and employment tax programmes.
His first hand experience had put a spotlight on complexity of international employment tax management; the significant cost and compliance risks for multinational companies, the considerable strain on the in-house teams and the need for a simpler, technology-led solution to solve it.
He had a clear vision for Certino's products - to make expatriate payroll simple.
