Elite Software Automation helps fast growing businesses get out of their own way.
Founded by Mykola Bashlakov, Elite is a boutique consulting firm that builds custom systems and automations for high performing companies. Its clients range from seven-figure startups to established nine-figure enterprises, all of whom face the same challenge: scaling faster than their internal operations can handle.
“We work with companies that are growing quickly but are being held back by manual processes,” says Mykola. “Our job is to eliminate those bottlenecks so they can scale with confidence.”
Elite builds tailored solutions for every part of a business, from marketing and fulfillment to backend systems like accounting and payroll. So when it came to payroll, Mykola knew they needed a partner they could trust.
Why Elite chose Everee
“Payroll is one of the most complex systems in any business and we knew we’d never build it ourselves,” says Mykola. “We needed a partner we could build around, not fight against.”
From the first conversation, Everee showed up differently than other payroll-as-a-service providers Mykola had reviewed. The team didn’t just talk about features. They got in the weeds with Elite’s technical and business process teams to understand how they could integrate Everee’s capabilities into their broader solutions.
“They were collaborative, fast, and totally open to feedback, even before we were an official partner,” says Mykola. “That’s unheard of.”
A true integration partnership
Elite needed more than a surface-level API. They needed to embed payroll into custom apps for their clients, push data programmatically, and support features like early wage access, all with a high level of control.
Everee delivered.
“They didn’t just give us access. They gave us options,” Mykola says. “And they backed it up with real support from their engineering team.”
In fact, Elite became one of Everee’s first partners to pilot and launch early wage access through the platform, helping shape how the product works today.
Speed, support, and scalability
The impact of the relationship has been immediate and long lasting. With Everee, Elite has been able to streamline implementations, scale onboarding, and embed payroll into their client offerings with confidence.
Key benefits for Elite:
- Fully embeddable components inside client-facing apps
- Support for W-2 and 1099 workers
- Real-time payouts and early wage access
- Responsive, hands-on technical support
- Deep product collaboration and flexibility
“Honestly, the support from Everee’s team has been insane,” Mykola says. “You send in a question, and you don’t just get an answer. You get a solution.”
More than a vendor. A strategic partner.
Elite now exclusively uses Everee for all client payroll needs. They’ve templatized their intake process, streamlined onboarding, and rely on Everee’s APIs and infrastructure to automate and manage payroll at scale.
“We’re scaling fast. Our clients are scaling fast. And Everee’s platform helps us keep up with that velocity,” says Mykola.
What sets Everee apart
For Mykola, the difference between Everee and other providers isn’t just technical. It’s cultural.
“Other companies talk about being a partner, but it’s all talk. With Everee, you actually feel it,” he says. “They listen, they collaborate, and they evolve with you. That’s what a real partnership looks like.”
And if Everee disappeared tomorrow?
“It would be catastrophic,” Mykola says with a laugh. “Our entire operation relies on them now. That’s how valuable they’ve become.”
The takeaway
Everee gives Elite the infrastructure to move fast, the flexibility to customize, and the confidence to scale.
“If you’re serious about building for scale, and you want a payroll partner who will actually support that, you want Everee,” says Mykola.
