Our Story
SAS&co was born out of professional curiosity. Right after my internship at a CPA firm, I chose not to settle into a single role. Instead, I set out to gain the broadest experience possible: working across different companies and industries, and getting to know as many payroll and finance systems as I could, from Israeli systems to the most advanced global platforms.
Over the years I worked with high tech, technology, industrial and global companies, and led payroll and finance system implementations in Israel and abroad. Every company taught me something new, and every implementation reinforced one lesson: there is no one size fits all solution. Around 2015 the idea began to take shape: bring all of this experience together in one place that could serve many companies.
In 2020, when COVID hit, I built and ran a complete finance department remotely. That is when I realized that physical location should not limit anyone: great professionals can deliver their best from anywhere, including less accessible regions, and clients can benefit from that expertise wherever they are.
Along the way I gathered exceptional people and top tier professionals, and step by step it grew into a real business. Today SAS&co supports leading companies and global organizations in payroll, global payroll, system implementation, SOPs and controls, bookkeeping, and backup for finance and payroll teams.
Our approach is simple: we work on each client’s existing payroll and finance systems, learn them in depth and integrate into the processes already in place. The data stays with the company, the work continues without disruption, and confidentiality is protected at every step.
Our values:
Excellence
Discretion
Loyalty

About me
I’m Michal, a Certified Senior Payroll Accountant and the CEO of SAS&co, with more than fifteen years of payroll and finance experience in Israel and across EMEA. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, followed by a series of professional courses in accounting and payroll. I also studied tax consulting, capital markets and other financial fields, to understand the full picture behind every payslip and every report.
I believe knowledge is only worth something when it meets reality. That is why I have always looked for ways to apply what I learn, and every new piece of knowledge was refined through hands on work with systems, data and people. Along the way I worked with global companies, led payroll system implementations and got to know the world’s leading platforms up close.
What guides me to this day is excellence, loyalty and discretion. Payroll is one of the most sensitive areas in any organization, so the confidentiality of information, of our clients and of their employees, is always my first priority.
