Payroll for startups
Avos runs startup payroll from the first hire to a team of fifty, in one country or several: register the person, the salary and the currency, and taxes, social contributions, bonuses and vacation come out calculated with up-to-date tables for that country. Payslips go by email, the team checks everything in the employee portal, and cost-per-department reports answer what engineering, product and sales cost, with salaries and employer charges consolidated.
Payroll for startups, solved
You need to hire fast and spend zero energy on bureaucracy. From the first hire to a team of fifty, in one country or several, payroll has to run on its own without becoming a founder's side job.
The first hire is scary
Hiring the first employee dumps a pile of acronyms on the founder: income tax withholding, social contributions, pension, mandatory benefits, filings. Getting it wrong at the start creates a liability that shows up right at due diligence.
Avos calculates every charge automatically, with tables kept up to date for each country. You register the person, set the salary and currency, and the payroll comes out right, without learning the local rate table.
Payroll cannot consume the team
In a startup, nobody is hired to close payroll. Every hour ops or the founder spends on payslips and vacation is an hour taken from the product.
Payroll closes in minutes: automatic calculation, payslips by email and an employee portal for the team to check everything themselves. Benefits enter the calculation without side spreadsheets.
Investors ask: what is your people cost?
Burn rate is the metric that kills or saves the round, and people are its biggest line. Answering 'let me check the spreadsheet' does not inspire confidence.
Cost-per-department reports show what engineering, product and sales cost, with salaries and employer charges consolidated, across every entity and currency. The audit trail keeps the history organized for due diligence.
Frequently asked questions
I just hired my first employee. Is Avos for me?
Yes, that is exactly the use case. You register the company and the employee, and the system calculates salary, income tax and social contributions automatically from the first payroll, without a dedicated accountant for it.
What about when the team grows, or we hire in another country? Will I need to switch systems?
No. The same platform serves from 1 to hundreds of employees, with departments, cost reports and multi-company for new entities in new countries. Plans grow with the team.
I pay employees and contractors. Can I manage both?
Yes. Salaried staff go through payroll with automatic charges; contractors are registered on the same platform, with documented payments. You see the total cost of the team in one place.
