“We launched Helios to create equitable opportunities for all businesses to compete in the global marketplace, which we believe can be done through strong AI, automation workflows, localization and compliance management tooling built into the foundation of HR and FinTech SaaS technology that creates flexibility for our customers,” said Rick Hammell, CEO and Founder of Helios. “Our mission is to break down the obstacles in global team management and payroll while creating cost effective solutions that redefine what’s possible for companies navigating the future of work. The way we work is reshaping itself faster than ever, and Helios has built a cohesive solution that empowers organizations to tackle every hurdle of the modern workforce, meeting these changes seamlessly and effectively.”
Helios secured $15.5 million in funding from a mix of U.S., Canadian, European and Asian investors, underscoring strong confidence in the platform’s potential to transform global workforce management.
