Veremark and TMF Group enters into partnership to support compliant hiring and operations across borders

Veremark, a global background screening platform, and TMF Group, a leading provider of critical administrative services in 87 jurisdictions, today announced a referral partnership that brings together compliant hiring and well run entities for companies operating across borders.

TMF Group supports clients with employee, financial and legal administration through more than 11,000 colleagues in over 125 offices, helping organisations invest and operate safely around the world.  Veremark helps employers run fast, compliant background checks across more than 150 countries so they can hire with confidence and reduce people related risk.

The referral partnership gives mutual clients a clearer route to combine trusted hiring with reliable local administration, without having to build and manage separate networks of providers in every market.

Aligning trusted people with trusted structures

Cross border growth usually depends on two things at the same time. Companies need people they can trust in key roles and they need entities, payroll, tax and compliance handled correctly in each country. When these parts are built separately, organisations often face duplicated work, unclear accountability and avoidable risk.

Through this partnership, Veremark and TMF Group will help clients connect these layers in a more coordinated way. TMF Group provides the backbone for entities, accounting, tax, payroll and HR administration.  Veremark provides background checks on directors, senior leaders and new hires so that the people running those structures are verified to a consistent standard.

“Clients tell us they want two kinds of confidence at once. They want to know that their entities and filings are under control, and they want to know that the people they trust with those responsibilities have been properly screened,” said Daniel Callaghan, CEO and Co founder at Veremark. “Our partnership with TMF Group brings those needs closer together and makes it easier for companies to protect their reputation as they grow across markets.”

What clients gain from the partnership

Through the referral partnership, Veremark and TMF Group will focus on:

• Joined up support for cross border growth
  A clearer path for companies that need both global background screening and local administration, without having to assemble and coordinate multiple providers themselves.
• Stronger governance around key roles
  Background checks on directors, signatories and sensitive positions sit alongside TMF Group’s work on entity management, accounting and HR, which helps boards and investors see a more complete governance picture.
• Consistent standards across jurisdictions
  TMF Group brings local expertise in 80+ countries. Veremark applies screening programmes that can adapt to local rules while keeping a common level of due diligence.
• Less operational friction for internal teams
  Legal, Finance, HR and Compliance leaders can work with a smaller, more aligned group of partners instead of a patchwork of local firms, spreadsheets and manual processes.
• Support for organisations at different stages
  The model is suitable for companies setting up their first overseas entity, as well as more mature groups that are rationalising existing structures or reviewing vendor landscapes.

How the referral partnership works

• Existing TMF Group clients who ask about background checks or people related risk can be referred to Veremark for a conversation about screening programmes that match their footprint and regulatory environment.
• Veremark clients who are planning new entities, restructuring or expansion can be introduced to TMF Group when they need support with entity management, accounting, tax, payroll or HR administration in multiple jurisdictions.
• In both directions, client teams stay in control of the relationship and can choose how closely they want the two providers to coordinate.

The partnership does not require clients to change their current structures immediately. Instead, it gives them a clearer set of options as they revisit how they manage compliance, hiring and governance over time.

Getting started

The referral partnership between Veremark and TMF Group is available to organisations of different sizes and sectors. Clients can explore joint support by speaking with their existing Veremark account manager about international administration needs, or with their TMF Group contact about background screening requirements. New and existing clients can also contact either company directly to request an introduction and discuss the most suitable approach for their size, sector and markets.
