For Umbrella Companies
Turn transparent payroll into a commercial advantage.
Fortis enables compliant umbrella companies to give agencies and end clients a clear, worker-level record of how pay was calculated, how funds were split and how the relevant PAYE and NIC payment was reconciled under the umbrella’s employer reference.
Certainty for partners
Certainty for your recruitment partners
Recruiters no longer have to rely solely on an assurance that tax will be paid at a later date. Through Fortis, they can fund the validated PAYE and NIC amount directly to HMRC while you receive the balance needed to meet worker pay and your other obligations.
Confirm Payment Received
Are you sure you want to confirm this payment has been received?
Reconciliation
Straightforward payment reconciliation
The relevant party records when its HMRC payment has been made. Your team can match that payment to the relevant pay run and confirm its position through your HMRC account. Outstanding or mismatched items remain visible until resolved.
- Pay-run and payment-reference matching
- Visibility of amounts paid by each relevant party
- Due-date prompts and exception reporting
- Historic reconciliation by period
- Clear separation between client-funded PAYE and the umbrella allocation
