HR and payroll software for consultancies, agencies and advisory firms

A professional services firm is its people. Consultants, auditors, lawyers and designers are what the client pays for, and they spend much of their time somewhere other than the firm's own office. That makes the basics harder than they look. HR needs to know who was working, and where, without a terminal at the client's door. Finance needs every client-related cost to arrive with a receipt and an approval. Partners want the payroll cost of each department without waiting for a spreadsheet. Nexa People puts attendance, claims, travel and payroll on one employee record, so each of those questions has one answer.

Attendance for a mobile team works best when it's light. In Nexa People, staff check in from the mobile app wherever the engagement takes them, and you decide who needs extra checks: a geo-fence, an approved network, a registered device or a selfie. Location is only checked at the moment of the punch. Office staff can still use a biometric terminal, and people working from home raise a remote-work request that goes through approval. Every day ends up with a status that payroll can read, judged against the person's own shift and grace time.

Expenses are where firms lose the most time. A single engagement can create dozens of small claims for travel, hotels and client meals, and chasing receipts at month-end is nobody's favourite job. Nexa People sets the rules up front. Each category has a per-claim limit and a receipt rule, and the team has a monthly limit. Trips are requested with destination, dates and estimated cost before anyone books, and travel advances and per diem can be allowed in the settings. Approved reimbursements can be paid on the payslip, so the money arrives with the employee's pay.

A firm's reputation rests on what its people know, so development has to be visible. Nexa People runs training programs with sessions, internal or external trainers and venues, and records who enrolled, who completed and who dropped, with completion dates stamped automatically. Performance cycles can be annual, half-yearly or tied to probation, with KPIs and a competency library that describes the technical, leadership and behavioural skills your service lines need. When a client asks who on the team has completed a particular program, the answer is a filtered report rather than a search through email.

Billable hours and client invoicing usually stay in your practice management tool. Nexa People handles everything around them: offer and experience letters from your own templates, onboarding checklists for each new joiner, help desk tickets for payroll and policy questions, and alerts for probation endings and expiring passports or visas. Payroll is configurable rather than fixed, with your own tax slabs, allowances and pay schedules, and any of the 100 built-in reports can be emailed on a schedule. The Nexa AI agent can find pending claims or prepare approvals, and always asks before it changes anything.
