More about Ascend Education

Your payroll and pensions are precious, so it's important you trust your provider. So here are some of the important things you need to know 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.

Don’t settle for a generic service.

Payroll and pension management for schools is not the same as for businesses. It’s more complex. It requires specific software and, above all, it needs specialist experience.

Promises we stick to.

Everyone can claim to deliver good service, but how do you prove it? When we created our Customer Promise, we knew it had to be watertight, so that’s what we did.

Our quality standards.

When you are in a compliance business, having rock-solid processes and systems is essential. That’s why our accreditations and quality framework are central to our service.
