Payroll doesn't break where you think it does. It breaks at the data.
An incorrect payslip rarely comes from the calculation. It usually comes from missing attendance data, a late shift change, or a record kept in three places. We start where the error is created — and from then on the monthly close stays calm.
Who we help
We are most useful where working time is not standard, the headcount is large enough for a single error to hurt, and there is still no dedicated payroll department.
Manufacturing companies
Multiple shifts, working-time banking, overtime, downtime, long-service and shift premiums. The case where payroll is not a template but a monthly reconstruction.
Retail and trading businesses
Weekend and public-holiday work, several sites, high turnover, constant entries and exits. Here the speed of data flow decides everything.
Companies of 100–500 employees
Large enough that a settlement error reaches dozens of people, small enough that everyone still knows each other. We know this size well.
What chaos do we take off your shoulders?
Complex working-time systems
Working-time banking, settlement periods, uneven schedules, stand-by and on-call duty. We do not ask you to simplify your operation for the sake of payroll.
Constantly changing schedules
Retroactive shift swaps, reorganisation due to sickness, weekend call-ins. We work with fixed cut-off dates and an unambiguous data request process.
Keeping up with legislation
Labour Code, tax and contribution changes, filing deadlines. Following them is our job, not the HR manager's during the year-end rush.
Prepared for inspections
Orderly, traceable documentation for tax, labour and audit inspections. We don't start searching on the day the inspector arrives.
How we work
We don't sell software, and we don't ask your company to operate differently from tomorrow. First we understand what is there — then we put it in order.
- We map first and recommend afterwards.
- We put in writing who provides what, and by when.
- The transition starts with a parallel month, not a leap.
- One dedicated contact person who knows your company.
Initial contact
A conversation about where you stand and what hurts most. Free of charge, with no obligation.
Process review
We follow the path of the data from the attendance sheet to the bank and show you where the errors are created.
Takeover and setup
Data migration, master-data reconciliation, a parallel trial month. You decide at the end whether to go live.
Ongoing support
Monthly close on a fixed calendar, a dedicated contact person, and reports that actually support your decisions.

About us
Langanke Partners Hungary Kft. is a boutique service firm. That is not an apology for our size but an operating decision: every client gets a named specialist who knows how the company works — and who picks up the phone.
The permanent professional core consists of two people. Behind them stands a vetted network of subcontractors and specialists, so capacity is there even when a close, a transition and an inspection all fall in the same week.
The standard of our Swiss parent company, Langanke Partners AG, is simple: accuracy is not a goal, it is the entry ticket. We work to that standard in a Hungarian legal environment, with Hungarian payroll systems.
