Jacob Høfler
Assistant manager | Payroll operations and process optimisation
Jacob Høfler, Assistant manager
Jacob Høfler is an assistant manager at Crossbord who builds payroll operations that run cleanly at scale. He works with employers managing international workforces, where the volume and the moving parts make a fragile process expensive to maintain.
Shadow payroll is his technical ground: the parallel Danish payroll calculation that keeps an assignment compliant even when the employee is paid elsewhere. Around it, he sets up the workflows and procedures that let payroll run the same way every cycle.
His instinct is to simplify. Where an employer has accumulated manual steps and workarounds, Jacob strips the process back to something efficient, consistent, and easy to hand over.

Jacob’s focus is the running of payroll: making delivery efficient, repeatable, and steady month after month.

Get support with payroll operations for international workforces in Denmark
We build and run payroll operations for employers managing international workforces, including the shadow payroll that keeps an assignment compliant when the employee is paid elsewhere, and the workflows that let payroll run the same way every cycle.
By combining tax, payroll, and social security into one coordinated solution, we reduce the risk of an error in one area surfacing as a problem in another, so payroll can be run consistently at scale.
