ABOUT Nxsys

We've made payroll a seamless experience for everyone who gets paid

Nxsys brings payroll, compliance, onboarding and payments together in one cloud platform. Founded by a contractor who experienced late and incorrect payments first-hand, Nxsys was built to make payroll better for everyone, so no employee or contractor ever has to be paid late. Today, our platform supports payroll for more than 300,000 people every month across the UK and Ireland.

OUR STORY

Built by a contractor who lived the problem

Nxsys was founded by James McBride, our Managing Director. Before Nxsys, James worked as a contractor, paid by some of the biggest payroll and umbrella companies in the country while working for some of the country's largest clients and banks.

He saw the same problems again and again. Payments were wrong. Wages arrived late. Getting onboarded with a new client could take days of forms and emails before he could start work.

James was convinced there had to be a better way to pay people, so he built one. Nxsys brings payroll, compliance, onboarding and payments into one cloud platform, so people are paid correctly and on time, every time.

Nxsys has grown quickly since then. It now runs payroll for small businesses, accountants and payroll bureaus, enterprises and umbrella companies, in the UK and in Ireland.

The three problems Nxsys was built to fix

Incorrect payments
Calculations, checks and statutory filing are automated, so pay is right first time.
Late wages
Pay runs in three steps, with a bank file ready for every payday.
Slow onboarding
New starters onboard themselves in the app, in minutes rather than days.
OUR MISSION

To transform payroll from a painful necessity into a seamless experience, everywhere in the world.

OUR VISION

To make payroll a positive, rewarding experience for everyone, and to inspire the next generation of payroll professionals.

OUR PEOPLE

We grow as a business because our people grow

Payroll is about people: the employees our customers pay through Nxsys every month, and our own team who build and support the platform they rely on. A business can only grow as fast as the people in it. So at Nxsys our people come first, their growth comes first, and the business follows.

We put our people first

Every decision starts with what it means for our team, for our customers and for the employees they pay through Nxsys.

Our people grow, so Nxsys grows

We give people room to learn, take on more and build a career with us. The business grows because they do.

We care about every person paid through Nxsys

Our customers pay more than 300,000 people a month through Nxsys. Behind every payslip is someone paying rent or a mortgage, so we build the platform to get it right every time.
