The challenge
Avato Consulting, a specialist IT consultancy, needed a trusted partner to help ensure compliance with IR35 regulations. As always with any umbrella arrangements, maintaining consistency, speed, and reliability in onboarding and payroll processes was key.
Like many consulting firms working with external talent, they wanted to be confident that their workers were fully compliant and that they had a partner who could take the stress out of managing contractor payroll in a post-off-payroll world.

Avato chose Giant to support their contractor workforce with our fully compliant umbrella service. From day one, our focus was on providing fast, smooth onboarding and clear, timely communication. With our FCSA-accredited umbrella solution, Avato had the assurance that their contractors were in safe hands and that their business was protected from risk.

Thanks to Giant, Avato has been able to:
- Onboard new workers quickly and efficiently
- Reduce the administrative burden of managing contractor queries
- Stay confident in their compliance with off-payroll working rules
