Our Purpose
Strategic Global Payroll Partner
Jenkinson Consultancy Services Limited is a consultancy practice dedicated to simplifying and supporting the global payroll needs of multi-country companies. We bring deep sector experience, from analytical reviews that measure your current operations against best practice through to leading strategic, global transformation programmes.
Our work results in a payroll you can see, compare and control: greater reporting visibility, harmonised practices across countries and a function that adds value to the company dynamic.
Whether you need an in-depth analytical review, a full transformation or support through a divestiture, we have the experience and knowledge to meet your needs.
Our Core Services
Global Payroll Landscape Assessment
Global companies grow organically or at scale, sometimes leaving payroll to quietly become a knot. Every expansion into a new country, every acquisition or merger, every burst of rapid growth and every added vendor or system is another strand pulled into the tangle, until leaders lose true visibility of how payroll operates, what it costs and where the risks sit.
Our Global Payroll Landscape Assessment finds the loose ends and starts unpicking. Thread by thread, we unravel the whole picture:
- Detailed understanding of all Upstream and Downstream Processes
- Existing Technology, Integrations and Reporting
- Vendor Contracts and Costing Structure
- Resourcing, Scalability and Opportunities
Everything is measured against best practice, so you can see where you stand and where the gaps and opportunities lie.
The assessment is particularly valuable at moments of change:
- Expansion into new countries: Establish a clear, consistent model before local variations take hold.
- Rapid growth: Check that your payroll function can scale with the business rather than hold it back.
- Mergers and acquisitions: Understand and compare the payroll estates you have inherited, and identify where to integrate or standardise.
- Divestiture: Separate payroll operations cleanly, with a clear view of what moves and what stays.
You will gain a clear picture of your payroll landscape and the insight to make confident strategic decisions, from targeted process improvements through to a full business case ready for Request for Proposal (RFP).
Global Shared Services Solution
Moving from country-led payrolls to global hubs is one of the most significant changes a payroll function can make. We support companies through that transition, from the first analysis to a stable, fully realised hub model.
Our support is grouped into three areas:
- Understand and measure: We review current headcount in each country to support analytics, and measure your set-up against best practice. This gives you a fact-based view of where a hub model can add most value.
- Plan and transition: We build a roadmap that runs from planning through to execution. Knowledge transfer, stakeholder engagement and process mapping keep the move from country to hub level controlled and well understood.
- Stabilise and realise: We stay with you through stabilisation and into realisation, standardising Key Performance Indicator (KPIs) so operations can be compared consistently and harmonisation is embedded globally.
The outcome is a global hub model that is stable, transparent and measurable, with clear, comparable performance data across every country.
Implementations; Transformation Journey to Success
Global Payroll Implementation Programmes
A strong business case only delivers value when the implementation delivers on it. We lead global payroll implementations from the first review of services against your requirements through to a successful deployment, so that you experience the benefits you were promised.
We take a structured, collaborative approach that covers every facet of delivery, grouped into three areas:
- Planning and governance: A clear project overview and delivery plan, with risk mitigation, governance and controls, and defined success criteria at each key stage, so progress is measured and issues are addressed early.
- People and communication: Careful stakeholder management, together with change management and communication, so everyone affected understands what is changing, why, and what it means for them.
- Cross-functional delivery and benefits: We bring HR, finance, IT and local teams into the programme from the outset, so the solution works across the whole organisation and the core expected benefits are realised in practice.
Each programme draws on tried and tested project strategies and the latest developments in technology shaped around your organisation's needs.
The outcome is a well-governed, smoothly delivered deployment, and a payroll function that is harmonised, transparent and ready to support your business.
