CloudPay named a Leader in the Quadrant Knowledge Solutions 2023 SPARK Matrix for Multi-Country Payroll (MCP)

Much of what we do at CloudPay is about removing the complexity from global payroll. We know that if your organization operates in several different territories, then there’s lots to contend with: languages, currencies, tax regimes, regulatory frameworks, compliance demands, cultural characteristics and more. That’s why we work tirelessly to deliver a global payroll platform, from which your payroll team can manage everything easily and efficiently in one place.

We’re very proud that our platform is increasingly being recognized for its capabilities by a range of independent auditors and research bodies. And we’re delighted to confirm that we have been named a Leader in the 2023 Quadrant Knowledge Solutions SPARK Matrix for Multi-Country Payroll (MCP).
