HR & Payroll Software for Professional Services

Your people drive revenue. Your HR systems should too.

In professional services, every hour matters. But when your HR data lives in disconnected spreadsheets and your people insights arrive weeks late, you’re flying blind – making people decisions without the real-time visibility you need.

ELMO gives professional services firms the HR and Payroll platform to build high-performing teams, make faster workforce decisions, and maximise every billable hour.

ELMO for Professional Services

Why Professional Services choose ELMO

People insights in minutes, not days
AI-powered analytics give you real-time answers to plain English workforce questions – no analysts or Excel skills required.
Replace manual admin with smart workflows
