People Over Business — Building a world-class payroll outsourcing company with heart
Founded
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."
Four founders with a shared vision launch DNA, bringing decades of payroll expertise together to create something extraordinary.
Expanded to a dedicated team of payroll professionals, each hand-picked for their expertise and commitment to excellence.
Extended our reach across borders, providing payroll solutions to businesses operating throughout Africa and beyond.
Launched state-of-the-art cloud technologies, enabling real-time access and seamless payroll management from anywhere.
A team of 40+ payroll experts processing over 375,000 payslips annually, serving clients across 43 African countries, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
