Case Study: Aquent achieves streamlined global payroll and improved accuracy and compliance with Dayforce

The creative staffing agency optimizes global payroll with Dayforce

Aquent is a global creative staffing agency that connects writers, designers, marketers and other talent with fast-moving projects worldwide. As it expanded internationally, the company struggled with disparate payroll systems, spreadsheets and local rules that produced errors, knowledge gaps and limited reporting—making compliance and confident decision‑making difficult and time-consuming.

Aquent implemented Ceridian Dayforce as a unified, cloud-based HCM to centralize payroll and talent data, starting with Australia and rolling out to additional markets. The platform delivered more accurate, timely payroll and compliance, better reporting and a single source of truth, saving about five hours per payroll cycle (roughly 30 days per year) and freeing the payroll team to focus on strategic work while enabling scalable support for its remote global workforce.
