This quarter has seen $4M of capital successfully raised, while behind the scenes, the business has progressively optimised systems and processes to work towards becoming cash-flow positive.
CEO and co-founder of PaySauce, Asantha Wijeyeratne, says: “This last quarter has been huge for partnerships, with steady progress on our agri-oriented alliance with Xero and Figured, and a new strategic partnership with a major global HR software vendor. We are proud that our software is making a small contribution to ensure NZ businesses can continue operating. This, along with the incredible support from our shareholders, allows us to offer our employees and our clients some certainty in these unprecedented times.”
The
overall number of employees dropped marginally from the
record level at the end of Dec 2019, with a seasonal decline
from some large employers in January and February before
increasing again by March.

numbers are prepared on the same basis as previous quarterly
updates, are unaudited, and may include Non-GAAP financial
information which does not have a standardised meaning
prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to
similar financial information presented by other
entities.
[2]Total recurring revenue no longer includes
the IRD PAYE intermediary subsidy revenue claims. As
previously indicated, from 1 April 2020, the government will
no longer pay the subsidy to payroll intermediaries. This
revenue stream will therefore no longer be categorised as
recurring revenue for PaySauce, as reflected in the current
and comparative quarters shown in the table above. If the
subsidy was still included as recurring revenue the March
2020 quarter would show recurring revenue of $497K, a 107%
increase on the March 2019 quarter of $240K.
