Looks really cool. I am the CFO for a post series A company with 25 employees in the UK and last month migrated to Pento, who I guess you would consider a competitor?
I love the new employee experience. Now payslips get synced straight into our HR system (HiBob) and everyone can delete the horrible MyEPayWindow website from their bookmarks.
More importantly for me, the payroll administration side is significantly slicker. We used to spend significant time back and forth in emails with our payroll administrator providing manual updates of new starters and payroll changes. This was not scalable as our headcount grew. Now changes get synced automatically from HiBob. We actually pay slightly more to Pento than we paid the administration firm, but our calculation was that the time we saved was a bigger saving overall.
Anyway I think you are playing in a great space and there is a huge market. I look forward to following your progress.
Does anyone know of a Zenefits like business that serves the UK?
I've not come across anything close and HR administration is just as big of pain in the UK as the US. I recognise the business model (commissions on health insurance) wouldn't work in the UK, but I'd be happy to pay. Our health insurance costs are so much lower anyway....
YOU'd be happy to pay, but maybe not the rest of the UK companies (or not that much, or not today, etc.). SO the growth of a UK-based Zenefits-clone will be much, much slower, and maybe never reach profitability. So I wouldn't count on that too much :/
Unfortunately I'm not an Android user, but this looks really awesome. I'm up for a new device soon and if this works as advertised I may make the leap. Thanks!
That looks pretty cool. I had a play with orgs agenda a while back, but the lack of integration with devices made it less useful than it could have been.
He tends to scare normal people off with his incredibly aggressive cost reductions. Living on 8k a year is certainly something one can do to retire very early, but you can't have anything close to a 'normal' lifestyle on that.
Money Mustache or Root of Good both have much more palatable levels of self-deprivation for most folks - they emphasize spending carefully, and living within your needs rather than your means.
