Topsource Worldwide

“Can a global payroll and EOR services firm decouple international workforce expansion from payments and compliance complexity by embedding specialist fintech infrastructure?”

The story

Founded in 2004 as a UK-based accounting and payroll outsourcing business, TopSource evolved over two decades into a global payroll and Employer of Record (EOR) platform serving over 1,000 international businesses. The company's embedded-finance inflection point came with the Ebury partnership, which offloaded the complexity of multi-currency international salary disbursement to a specialist cross-border payments provider. The Portico platform deepens integration into clients' HR and finance ecosystems, making Topsource a workflow layer rather than a standalone bureau.
