Get peace of mind knowing everything’s in order
Set up automated onboarding and off-boarding processes, and monitor in real time with custom reports
01
Legal documentation made easy
Let your legal team define what legal documents require your freelancers’ signatures and we’ll send these to your freelancers automatically through DocuSign.
We’ll also validate signatures, store all documents securely, and alert you before they expire, taking care of it all for you, behind the scenes.
02
We take liability over your tax compliance
When working with freelancers, companies must adhere to strict tax requirements. Luckily for you, Stoke takes care of the entire process.
We’ll gather the required tax forms like W-9s and W-8BENs from your freelancers and submit annual tax reports like 1099s or IR-35 to the appropriate tax authority on your behalf.
03
Automated workforce classification audits
Stoke uses AI to analyze your relationship with freelancers based on thousands of previous classification cases.
When a high-risk relationship is identified, an automated audit is run, generating a detailed report that contains actionable suggestions for reducing risk.
