More about Ascend Education
A deep understanding of education payroll and pension
The people behind Ascend Education have been in managed payroll for decades. They have built award-winning education services. They have also witnessed the managed payroll sector becoming a bit of a mess.
A focus on process rather than people. A lack of investment in the education sector. An exodus of payroll professionals with the right experience.
So when they set up Ascend Payroll in 2024, their aim was to do things different. To deliver a premium payroll service that was built on great tech, but driven by personal service.
Initially, they focused on businesses. But the need for a quality managed payroll service for schools, academies and trusts became too loud to ignore.
So they looked at what schools needed (building on their knowledge of education payroll and pensions). They spoke to schools and academies about their requirements and frustrations, and they launched Ascend Education.
