Handle Freelance Solutions was established in 2014 and has become the preferred outsourced payroll and compliance solution for an impressive base of Media, Entertainment and Fashion brands.

Far too many outsourced payroll solutions are rigid, lack flexibility and lack personality - we decided that this just isn't good enough for the creative freelancers and industries we support.

We are proud to be specialists and do everything we can to make sure that onboarding, pay and compliance will never stop great brands and their freelancers from being creative.
