The work that keeps
your business running.
Finance, payroll and tax. Documents and data. People and business support. And the deep industry operations — healthcare, insurance, mortgage, lending, e-commerce, logistics.
A little more context
The work that keeps a business running — right, on time, and owned.
This is the widest of the five lines, because it is the widest part of most businesses. Different skills, one requirement: it has to be right, it has to be on time, and somebody has to answer for it. We group the work into four families so you can find yours quickly — finance, documents and data, people and business support, and the industry operations where we go deep.
Every service here can be run as Anchor (as it is today), Lift (made better and automated over time) or Establish (built from nothing). Most customers begin with one process, prove it, and expand.

Finance
01Finance & Accounting
Books that close on time, numbers you can trust, and a controller when you need one.
Finance & Accounting
Books that close on time, numbers you can trust, and a controller when you need one.
Finance work rewards discipline more than brilliance: the same steps, done right, every day and every month. We run bookkeeping and transaction coding, accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, month-end close and management reporting — in your accounting system, to your chart of accounts, with a close calendar you can see and a review layer that catches errors before they reach your board pack.
When you need senior judgment without a full-time hire, our Controller as a Service gives you an experienced finance controller for the days a month you actually need one — reviewing the close, owning the controls, and speaking to your auditors.

Everyone paid correctly, on time, in every country you employ people.
Payroll
Everyone paid correctly, on time, in every country you employ people.
Payroll is the one process where a small error is a big problem. We run payroll processing, payroll compliance and statutory filing, and multi-country payroll with the checks built in: inputs validated, calculations reviewed, statutory deductions and filings tracked to the calendar of each country we cover, and a clear audit trail for every run. Which countries we cover for you is confirmed before we start, not assumed.
Your people get paid right. Your filings go in on time. And you get one team that knows your payroll instead of a helpdesk ticket.

Tax & Statutory Filing
Returns prepared properly, filings made on time, and nothing missed.
Tax and statutory work is deadline-driven and detail-heavy — exactly the kind of work that benefits from a team that does it every day. We provide tax return preparation support, sales and indirect tax filing, and statutory and regulatory filing support for your accountants and your finance team: the data gathered and reconciled, the workpapers prepared, the returns drafted for review, and the calendar tracked so nothing slips.
We work under your tax advisers' direction where sign-off requires a licensed professional. We do the preparation; they review and file — or we file on their instruction.

Data & Document Operations
Data entered, documents processed, records cleaned — with accuracy you can hold us to.
Every business runs on data that somebody has to capture, check and keep clean. We run data entry and capture, document processing to an accuracy service level, data cleansing and deduplication, forms and application processing, and document digitization and scanning — with double-entry or review where the accuracy target demands it, and turnaround agreed by document type.
Where volumes are high and documents are consistent, our AI document processing does the first pass and people handle the exceptions — accuracy up, cost down, and every field traceable to its source.

Language Services
Your content, in the languages your customers use — accurate, consistent, on brief.
Selling and supporting across languages needs more than a translation tool. We provide translation, localization, transcription, and subtitling and captioning — by people who work in the language and know the domain, supported by translation memory and glossaries so your terms stay consistent from one document to the next.
For volume work — support content, product catalogs, recorded calls — we combine machine output with human review, so you get speed without losing the voice.

AI Data Operations
The human work that makes your AI trustworthy.
Every useful AI system is built on data a person prepared and judged. We provide data annotation and labeling, data preparation for AI, human-in-the-loop review, and model evaluation and output grading — trained teams working to your guidelines, with quality measured by agreement rates and audited samples, and the security your training data deserves.
This is also how we keep our own Sparks honest: people review what the agents do, grade it, and feed the corrections back. We can do the same for your models.

HR Operations & Recruitment
HR that runs smoothly, and hiring that fills seats with the right people.
HR operations are a chain of small tasks that everyone notices when they go wrong. We run HR operations and HRIS administration, onboarding and offboarding administration, candidate sourcing and screening, and full recruitment process outsourcing — in your systems, to your policies, with the documents, approvals and reminders tracked so nothing falls between the gaps.
For hiring, we source, screen and shortlist to a profile you agree, run assessments and scheduling, and hand your managers candidates worth their time. Our own HR Spark handles the repetitive parts — document collection, reminders, record updates — under the supervision of our HR team.

Business Support
An extra pair of capable hands — for a leader, a team, or a whole function.
Sometimes the gap is not a process but capacity. We provide virtual assistant and executive support for leaders, managed operations pods — small, self-managed teams that take a defined stream of work off your hands — and a general administrative desk for the tasks that nobody owns and everybody needs done.
Each is staffed by people we recruit, train and manage, working your hours, in your tools, with a named lead you can call.

Healthcare Operations
Your revenue cycle, run end to end — claims out clean, cash in faster, patients answered.
Healthcare providers lose money in the gaps between steps: the missing authorization, the coding error, the denial nobody followed up. We run the end-to-end revenue cycle or any part of it — medical billing and claims submission, medical coding, AR follow-up and denial management, prior authorization, provider credentialing and enrollment, and patient access, scheduling and eligibility verification. The team and required credentials are agreed for your scope, with work carried out in your practice-management and EHR systems.
Our Prior Authorization product and AI scheduling assistant sit inside these services, so the repetitive parts move faster and your people handle the exceptions. Everything is done to HIPAA requirements, with access limited to the minimum the work needs.

Mortgage work is a race against rate locks and a test of accuracy.

Credit decisions stay with your underwriters.
Files move faster because conditions are chased the same day. Errors fall because every file is checked before it moves. And volume swings stop being a staffing crisis.
