Remote’s Modern Payroll Platform Surpasses 300% Growth, Fueling Shift to Become the Leading Global Employment Infrastructure for Australian Businesses



Reaching $300M in ARR and cash flow positivity, Remote expands access to its platform to build for the future

Remote, the global payroll and employment infrastructure platform, announced today its payroll business has grown more than 300% year over year, with the company and becoming cash-flow positive. Today, Remote is expanding access to its infrastructure to partners, customers, developers, and AI agents everywhere to support best-in-class tooling. As AI reshapes how companies build their workforce tools, Remote is introducing:

  • Remote MCP gives any AI agent a live, secure connection to Remote's payroll, contracts, compliance data, and org structure, with no API keys, no exports, and no custom integrations needed. 
  • Remote Build provides customised support for companies from creating architecture to executing implementation. 


As Australia faces one of its biggest workforce shifts in years, Remote is helping businesses of all sizes navigate the transition. This strategic shift toward global employment infrastructure means that whether a company connects through an existing HR suite, works on top of Remote's APIs, or logs in directly, Remote is built to deliver: compliant, accurate global employment and payroll, every time.

"At our core, we have always been in the business of trust: making sure people get paid correctly, compliantly, and with dignity, wherever they are in the world," said Job van der Voort, co-founder and CEO of Remote. "That trust comes with getting the hard things right, consistently, at scale. That is exactly what we have spent years doing: building the infrastructure, the compliance depth, and the owned entities that make it possible to get this right, in every country, every time. Opening that up to the world is the next step, and we are just getting started."

Remote APAC GTM Lead Nick Martin says, “Over the past five years, Remote has solidified its position as the trusted payroll and employment infrastructure for businesses operating across borders. This is especially important in the APAC region, where we see significant cross-border collaboration with contractors, offshore employees, and employees working remotely from different states and countries around the region.”

Tens of thousands of leading companies including Anthropic, KFC, and Datadog already trust Remote's Global Payroll, Employer of Record, and Contractor Management solutions to hire and pay talent anywhere. The world's leading HR platforms, including Workday, BambooHR, and Personio, have chosen Remote to power their own global employment offerings. With 100+ owned legal entities across the world, regulated payments institutions across key markets, and billions in payroll processed annually, Remote has established itself as the infrastructure layer global businesses run on.

We deeply value our partnership with Remote so our customers do not need to choose between an HR experience they love and the ability to hire and pay people anywhere," said Brian Crofts, Chief Product Officer at BambooHR. "Remote's global employment infrastructure is what makes that possible inside BambooHR, and opening it up to the broader ecosystem is a significant step forward for how businesses manage global teams." 

The demand driving that growth is surging. As companies seek specialised talent across the globe, the legal and compliance complexity of employing people across borders has never been greater. For the enterprises navigating this reality, the infrastructure underneath global employment is a strategic foundation, not an operational detail.
