PEOPLE OVER BUSINESS

A Long Time Coming

DNA was founded on the 1st of April 2018 by four visionaries who shared a common dream and over 20 years of friendship.

The 4 founders had all been ex-colleagues at VIP Payroll and Sage for 20 years. They understood that payroll isn't just about numbers—it's about people. Every payslip represents a family, a dream, a life being built.

Although our story is still fairly new, it has been a long time coming and we are super excited about the journey ahead.

"We were able to delight our customers in the process—that's what drives us every single day."
