Operating from headquarters in Montreal Canada, Oz Communications has a total of 230 employees and numerous offices worldwide.
Oz Communications has employed the services of Artaius since 2005, following the launch of its UK office, located in London.
Aaron Akerman, Vice President of Finance comments: "A couple of years ago we were contacted by a UK government representative as part of a campaign to encourage more international businesses to employ the services of UK businesses.
"At the time we were actually in the process of setting up a new office in London, so it seemed to make sense to take the opportunity to request a recommendation of a good financial outsourcing provider in the UK. This is because it is always preferable, where possible, to employ a firm based in the region of operation because they have a better knowledge of the national tax systems.
"We were then advised to contact Artaius, who we found to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable straightaway, and have worked with them ever since."
Artaius oversees all payroll and bookkeeping aspects of the company’s UK operations, as well as assisting in other areas such as maintaining monthly records of employee expenses, organising the according payments owed to suppliers and covering all pension fund payments.
"Highly reliable, cost-efficient and generally very good at what they do, we are extremely pleased by the service provided by Artaius.
"Plus, while naturally the majority of our communication exists via telephone and email, Artaius have actually taken the time to visit us at our Canadian offices on two occasions, which has enabled us to meet face to face and discuss business on a more informal level."
He continues: "As a global company that resides in a multitude of locations, all with their own varying national rules and regulations, it can sometimes prove challenging when working from one central location to make sure that all the company’s financial aspects run smoothly.
"Firms such as Artaius, however, who are professional and dependable, can significantly help with this and I feel safe in the knowledge that our London office’s financial requirements are being fully taken care of."
