Strada and EY team up to improve global payroll
Strada has announced a strategic partnership with EY to help multinational companies manage payroll and workforce operations more effectively.
This alliance combines Strada’s global payroll technology, certified Workday and SAP integrations, professional services, global payment capabilities, and extensive experience managing payroll for some of the world’s largest employers.
These strengths are paired with EY’s established global payroll, tax, mobility, workforce advisory services, and broad client base.
Together, the alliance marks a new chapter in global payroll and workforce management. It moves beyond fragmented legacy approaches to deliver a model built around control, governance, and confidence at a global scale.
Strada brings significant expertise in managing large, complex global payroll environments, supported by its HCM technology and professional services capabilities. Combined with EY’s local payroll expertise, the alliance offers organisations a globally connected workforce management approach that balances centralised governance with local execution.
This helps enterprises simplify complexity, strengthen governance, and operate with greater consistency and confidence.
The two organisations will also continue to leverage advances in AI to enhance integrated global payroll and workforce solutions. By automating processes, providing deeper insights, and helping organisations navigate complexity, the alliance aims to support more efficient workforce operations.
Colin Brennan, Chief Executive Officer of Strada, says:
"Payroll remains an exceptionally complex and high-risk function and increasingly enterprises are looking to consolidate that responsibility with a small number of trusted partners. Together, Strada and EY bring a model that connects technology, local expertise, compliance, data and services into an integrated global payroll and workforce solution.
“The alliance provides organisations the breadth and depth of services they need to manage their workforce across every market they operate in while creating a strong foundation for continued innovation in AI-enabled workforce operations."
Gerard Osei-Bonsu, EY Global PAS Tax Leader, added:
"This alliance fundamentally changes how global payroll is delivered. Together with Strada, EY teams are combining deep payroll knowledge, broader workforce services and operational capabilities with leading payroll technology, helping large, complex global organisations simplify their payroll landscape, consolidate vendors and operate with greater confidence.
“Clients gain more workforce flexibility and choice in how their payroll is delivered all under a single, globally governed structure with real-time insights, stronger compliance and greater operational efficiency."
Together, the alliance brings the complementary strengths of EY and Strada together to create a comprehensive global payroll offering.
By combining global technology, local expertise, and AI-enabled innovation, it provides organisations with a more connected, efficient, and governed approach to managing their workforce worldwide.
