Flare Employee Benefits 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.
Why Professional Services choose ELMO
Every hour your team spends on HR admin is an hour not spent with clients. Automate workflows across the employee lifecycle and give that time back to revenue-generating work.
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
Automate and connect operational tasks across the lifecycle – from recruitment to onboarding, performance to payroll. Cut admin and double handling. Maintain governance at every step.
Automate and track training compliance
Streamline compliance training, track completion and produce audit-ready reports in minutes. Stay on top of shifting legislation and reduce the strain of last-minute audits.
Sync your performance-to-pay workflow
Streamline the performance-to-remuneration cycle, so assessments and talent data sync in real-time to inform accurate pay decisions. Generate personalised rem letters automatically without mail merges.
