Sapphire is a trailblazer in the financial sector, founded over a decade ago, with a mission to simplify the financial affairs of freelancers and contractors. Harnessing the power of over 30 years of industry expertise, Sapphire gives its clients a unique blend of personalised advice and real-time financial status updates. It is the dedication and commitment of the Sapphire team to superior service that has seen the company achieve remarkable growth.

As an employee-owned company, Sapphire's workforce shares a common goal – to deliver the best service possible for clients, and in turn, nurture the growth of the company. This unique business model fosters a culture of innovation and ambition, with every team member having a stake in the company's success. The organisation’s ethos of care, trust, collaboration, support, and responsibility is deeply ingrained in every employee.

Sapphire's commitment to its workforce extends beyond just shared ownership. It cultivates a flexible working environment, offering its employees the option to work different hours, work from home when necessary, and more. The company’s commitment to keeping its team engaged is evident in its adoption of the employee communications platform, Viva Engage. This tool ensures that every team member, whether in the office or working remotely, is included in the company's narrative and is kept informed about all aspects of Sapphire. From celebrating personal achievements and birthdays to sharing company updates, Sapphire believes in the power of communication to foster a sense of belonging and maintain high employee engagement.
