About

Improving the work life of payroll professionals.

Our mission at Paytools is create trusted payroll functions, with the help of simple-to-use technology.

We believe that calm, organised and compliant operations will elevate payroll to be more valued as a business partner.

WHERE DID OUR PASSION FOR PAYROLL BEGIN?

Peter, our Founder, started his first business dedicated to helping payroll 20+ years ago.

During his years working alongside payroll teams, he saw first-hand the daily pressures, complexities and challenges they face – often with little recognition.

That insight sparked a mission, to build software that not only simplifies payroll operations but genuinely improves the work lives of the people behind them.

Today, that mission drives everything we do.
