Remoto Workforce scales payroll operations with OFX

More people. More payments. Less admin.

What are all the things you’d rather be doing right now than processing payments?

Supporting your team. Spending time with family. Growing your business.

Remoto Workforce, founded by David and Rene Gagnon, was built to help businesses access top talent across Latin America. Since launching in 2020, the company has grown into a trusted workforce partner, supporting more than 200 clients with payroll, contractor management, HR operations and employee support.

But success brought new challenges for their finance team. Every new client meant more payroll runs. More contractors meant more payments. More growth meant more administration. Payment processing was slowly becoming a job of its own.

Remoto Workforce didn’t have a growth problem. It had a time problem.

The finance team needed a way to simplify payments, reduce manual work and free up time for the things that mattered most. With OFX, what once took a full day can now be completed in minutes through automated batch payments and integrated financial workflows. Instead of getting buried in administration, the team can focus on more strategic, important, and enjoyable tasks.

That’s the real value of getting time back.

As we continued to grow, OFX grew with us. We started seeing new features, processing larger volumes of payments and simplifying the way we manage our financial operations.”

When payroll becomes a full-time job.

In the remote workforce industry, getting payments right isn’t optional. Employees rely on timely paychecks. Clients trust their workforce partner to manage payroll accurately. Every delayed payment creates unnecessary risk.

As transaction volumes increased for Remoto Workforce, manual processes were starting to consume valuable time. What should have been a simple operational task was becoming a recurring administrative burden.

With OFX Batch Payments, Remoto Workforce transformed the way it manages accounts payable.

For Paola Contreras, Head of Finance, HR & Administration at Remoto Workforce, the ability to upload a single payment file means her team can send multiple payments at once instead of processing them individually.

What previously took an entire day can now be completed in minutes. The impact goes far beyond efficiency.

Less time spent processing payments means more time spent improving operations and driving growth across the business.

“It’s priceless,” Paola said when describing the time savings. And for a company built around supporting people, that time matters.

“Now I just upload a batch file and everything is done. What used to take an entire day now takes minutes.”

The day they got their time back.

As payment processes became simpler, accounting processes followed. Through OFX’s QuickBooks Online integration, payment information now flows automatically into the company’s accounting systems.

Previously, reconciliation required additional manual work and follow-up.

Today, transactions are reflected automatically, creating greater visibility for both finance and accounting teams.

The result is fewer questions, fewer handoffs and a full 8 hours saved every week on accounts payable thanks to OFX’s AP automation tools, reducing the time spent tracking down information and managing manual processes.

“My accountant doesn’t need to come to me anymore. She can go directly into the platform and find what she needs.”

For growing businesses, those small efficiencies add up quickly.

“The OFX platform is very intuitive. It saves time, improves visibility and helps our internal processes run much more smoothly.”

What do you do with a day you’ve gotten back?

Ask Paola about the value of OFX and she’ll probably start by talking about time savings. But the real impact goes much deeper than that.

Yes, payment processing went from taking an entire day to just a few minutes. But for Remoto Workforce, the biggest benefit wasn’t completing payments faster. It was what the team could do with the time they got back.

Instead of spending hours managing transactions, they can focus on supporting clients, strengthening employee relationships and improving the business. Those outcomes don’t show up in a payment file or accounting report. But they’re felt across the business every day.

“Because of the time savings, we’re able to focus on strategic initiatives rather than administrative tasks.”

For Remoto Workforce, that’s where the real value of automation lives.

“It’s not the time savings itself. It’s what we’ve been able to do with that time.”

More than payments. Peace of mind.

At Remoto Workforce, payments aren’t just transactions. Behind every payroll run is a person. An employee. A family.

The businesses that partner with Remoto Workforce trust the company to pay their teams accurately and on time. And the employees they support depend on those payments to cover everyday expenses and provide for their families. That’s why reliability matters.

Today, OFX supports payroll, contractor payments, vendor payments, accounting workflows and spend management across Remoto Workforce’s operations, helping ensure payments are processed accurately and on schedule.

As the business continues to evolve, the team can onboard new clients, manage higher payment volumes and expand operations without adding unnecessary complexity behind the scenes.

For a company built around supporting people, having confidence in every payment makes all the difference.

Having a trusted partner like OFX allows us to deliver on those expectations.”
