What it's like working at Pento 👩‍💻

We're a technology company, not an accountancy, payroll bureau, or similar. We build beautiful payroll software that automates all manual workflows and we usually help companies cut 50-80% off the time they spend on payroll. That means no spreadsheets, no e-mails, and no manual bank transfers. We've built an easy-to-use software product, that does all of this automatically.

Why now is a really exciting time to join 🚀

• The UK payroll process hasn’t been disrupted since… ever
• Every company runs payroll, but very few companies are happy with their current process
• Pento makes payroll up to 80% more efficient (we are probably conservative here)
• We already see strong inbound demand from companies all over the UK
• Our customers love Pento - our NPS is above 70 (check our Trustpilot by the way)
