About Us.
Our Foundation
The company was formed in 2003 by CEO Peter Holland, alongside a team of former colleagues in and around the global mobility sector.
Initially incorporated in the UK as Expatriate Management Services Limited (EMS), we set out to deal with the complexities of expatriate payroll and mobility.
From the start it was clear that global payroll was our clients' hardest problem, capable of consuming up to 60% of an organization's spend. So we built a global, fully integrated service for all forms of employment, adopting domestic payroll and HRIS integration and becoming one of the world's first "Global Payroll" providers.
In 2025 we updated our brand name to reflect our global offering to both local and expat employees, trading as Globalise.
Today we take full contractual responsibility for our clients' end-to-end payroll and compliance, and with no hidden fees for expansion, growing internationally stays straightforward.
Built on Experience
Global payroll is complex. We bring over two decades of experience to simplify it. As an independent partner, we offer consistency and stability, ensuring you have a team that has solved these challenges before.
We have navigated industry changes and evolved alongside them. You are partnering with a proven specialist, not an organization figuring it out as they go.
We were the first in the payroll industry to fully automate both global payment execution and reconciliation, and we remain market leaders in deeply integrated payment and reconciliation technologies.
We bring rigorous standards to every market we operate in, certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, so every client gets the same high quality of service, whatever their size or location.
Our People & Approach
We employ people who are smart and considerate. That's who our clients want to work with. Good service should always be put first.
Maintaining a culture that strives for innovation and constantly improves standards is never easy, but critical to every level of Globalise.
Our approach is consultative, not transactional. We begin with a detailed discovery to understand your goals, re-engineer and align your processes, then monitor and refine them continuously.
You work with in-house payroll and technology specialists on demand, never a ticketing queue, and when something critical breaks, our Tiger Teams move fast to resolve it and turn the fix into a lasting improvement.
