Who we are

A Local Team for Companies That Employ People in Bangladesh

We work from Bashundhara, Dhaka, for overseas companies building teams in Bangladesh and for local employers that want their payroll and HR handled properly. Our clients include subsidiaries, branch and liaison offices, international NGOs, startups and established companies from North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East.

The work is done in Bangladesh, by people who know the Labour Act, the tax rules and how local banks and authorities actually operate. Reports and correspondence are in English for head offices; employee documents are available in Bangla.

Whether you have five people in Dhaka or a full country office, the same team handles your payroll, HR and compliance every month, so nothing falls between providers.

Our approach

Running someone else’s payroll is a responsibility, not a software subscription.

  • CheckedEvery salary line is reviewed against your approved inputs.
  • ApprovedNothing is paid until your named approver signs off.
  • RecordedEvery payment is matched to its bank reference and kept for audit.
