Case Study: Sonangol Asia achieves compliant, on-time Singapore payroll and HR support with Ascender

Sonangol - Customer Case Study

Sonangol Asia, a subsidiary of Sonangol EP that manages the company’s oil and gas interests in the Asia Pacific region, needed reliable local payroll and HR support when Finance Manager Inacio Zebedeu Bueti moved into an HR-facing role and was unfamiliar with Singapore statutory requirements. Ascender has provided Sonangol Asia with fully managed payroll services using the Ascender PeoplePay software since 2004 to handle multi‑jurisdiction payroll complexity and local compliance.

Ascender stepped in with hands‑on support and training for Inacio, processing payrolls, advising on statutory obligations (including CPF and monthly contributions) and providing a responsive account manager to address queries. The result was consistent, accurate and on‑time payroll delivery, improved compliance confidence for Sonangol Asia and an established long‑term partnership with Ascender.
