Nmbr has partnered with Paiday to bring embedded payroll infrastructure to Canadian accounting firms, aiming to modernize one of the most operationally complex areas of business finance.
Through the collaboration, Paiday is leveraging Nmbr’s infrastructure to deliver a payroll experience designed specifically for firms managing multiple clients. The integration allows payroll to run directly within the systems accounting firms already use, reducing the need to switch between platforms or rely on manual processes.
The partnership targets a long-standing gap in Canada’s payroll ecosystem, where many tools were built for single businesses rather than firms overseeing dozens or hundreds of payrolls across clients, provinces, and compliance frameworks.
“Payroll is one of the last areas of business software that hasn’t kept up with the pace of technology,” said Rachel Fisch, CEO of Paiday, noting that firms continue to rely on fragmented systems, manual workarounds, and disconnected platforms.
These inefficiencies can carry significant risk. Errors in payroll can lead to incorrect T4s, delayed Records of Employment, and mismatches with Canada Revenue Agency balances, exposing both firms and their clients to compliance issues and financial penalties.
Paiday’s platform introduces a centralized payroll hub that enables firms to manage all client payrolls in one place, regardless of provider. It also incorporates a Canadian-compliant payroll engine, integrations with practice management tools, and AI-driven workflows designed to reduce manual work.
Nmbr’s embedded infrastructure underpins this experience, providing APIs and front-end components that allow payroll functionality to be built directly into existing software platforms.
“We’re embedding payroll for the industries left behind, directly into the platforms businesses already use,” said Simon Bourgeois, CEO of Nmbr. “That fundamentally changes how payroll is delivered.”
As accounting firms face increasing compliance demands and talent constraints, the companies say their combined approach will help firms scale payroll services more efficiently while reducing operational risk.
The partnership represents a broader push toward embedded finance in Canada, with payroll emerging as a key area for innovation.
