[Canada] Paiday partners with Nmbr to introduce a payroll model for accounting firms

Canada’s first dedicated embedded payroll infrastructure provider, Nmbr, has partnered with Paiday, a firm-first payroll platform built for accounting and bookkeeping firms, to deliver a payroll model designed to suit the way Canadian businesses actually operate, HR Tech Series reports.

Paiday says it is utilising Nmbr’s embedded payroll infrastructure to power a payroll experience built specifically for accounting firms, allowing compliant payroll to run directly within the systems firms already use to manage clients.

The partnership reportedly addresses a long-standing gap in Canada’s payroll ecosystem, where the systems that power it have seen little meaningful innovation in decades, particularly for small and mid-sized businesses and the accounting firms that support them.

The majority of the nation’s payroll software was built for one business running its own payroll. Yet the accounting firms of today frequently manage dozens, or even hundreds, of payrolls across different clients, platforms and provinces, and are often forced to juggle multiple platforms, track deadlines manually, and resolve errors that originate from the limitations of the software itself.

Paiday offers a centralised payroll hub that allows accounting firms to see and manage all client payrolls in one place, regardless of which payroll provider each client is using. It also provides a purpose-built payroll engine designed for Canadian compliance, together with integrations into practice management tools and AI-driven workflows to reduce manual work.

“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. “For years, firms have had to settle for clunky systems, manual workarounds, disconnected platforms, and compliance headaches because the technology hasn’t kept up with how they actually operate. Today’s reality means firms aren’t running one payroll. They’re managing dozens at once, and tools haven’t evolved to support that.”

“Payroll has been stuck for decades, even as the rest of business software has moved on,” said Simon Bourgeois, CEO of Nmbr. “We’re embedding payroll for the industries left behind, directly into the platforms businesses already use. That fundamentally changes how payroll is delivered: making it more integrated, more automated, and far less reliant on legacy systems that weren’t designed for today’s workflows.”
