About The Firm
Ascend is the vision of Stewart Waddell and Richard Rowell; two payroll pros who have seen it all.
From small teams to big global players, they’ve even built an award-winning payroll service.
They noticed something off in the managed payroll world – clients feeling like just another number. Putting up with an increasingly impersonal service and crazy price hikes every year.
Even though payroll software is getting easier, outsourcing payroll hasn’t caught up. In fact, it seems to be that payroll providers are putting more and more onus on the employer to provide the information, so what is the service they are paying for?
Stewart and Richard knew a big change was needed. They started fresh, knowing great service is all about people. Sure, tech matters, but it’s the human touch that truly counts. They tossed out the old ways, listened to businesses’ gripes, and used their vast experience to build something better.
