Case Study: The Language Group achieves automated global contractor payments with Tipalti

The Language Group Bridges the Communication Gap for Businesses Worldwide

The Language Group is a fast‑growing provider of translation and interpreting services across 200+ languages, offering onsite, over‑the‑phone and virtual interpreting, document translation, and training. Rapid expansion dramatically increased its contractor base and exposed fragile, manual accounting workflows—onboarding, payments, reconciliations and 1099 collection—that relied on multiple tools and a PayPal‑centric approach that didn’t work for many international payees.

The company implemented Tipalti’s global payments platform to automate contractor onboarding, support flexible local payment methods, run worldwide mass payouts, and provide a self‑service payee portal. The change cut monthly manual data‑entry to a few keystrokes, reduced payment runs from four times a month to one, automated tax form collection and compliance, avoided hiring additional staff, and improved payee experience.
