👀 Using ACE Payroll? It’s time to start planning ahead ⌛

ACE Payroll will be decommissioned from 1st April 2027. With this timing falling right around financial year-end, we recommend reviewing your options sooner rather than later.

To take advantage of this offer, you’ll need to subscribe by 18th December 2026 🙌
