About Nexarisi
Free payroll software, provided with the Nexarisi Micro SME package. Provided free with the Nexarisi Micro SME package. Payroll software is provided free with the Micro SME package. Payroll software is free; the package is paid. Micro SME is a paid package, so there is no payroll licence fee and no payroll add-on cost.
Africa's businesses don't fail because of a lack of effort. They fail because systems break, records go missing, payroll goes wrong, and compliance becomes chaos.
Nexarisi exists to fix that — properly.
We started Nexarisi after watching entrepreneurs lose employees, customers, and even companies because payroll, leave, and compliance were scattered across spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads. Our Micro SME package is a paid plan that gives them free payroll software plus onboarding, document storage, and QMS templates with no payroll licence fee or payroll add-on cost so structure exists before the business scales. The same database powers recruitment, training, and payroll in bigger subsidiaries, which means every action is traceable.
For teams comparing us to all-in-one accounting suites, the Manager.io alternative comparison shows how Nexarisi keeps HR, payroll, and compliance in a single African-ready stack. When you are ready to roll out across multiple locations, review the pricing plans to see how payroll stays included as employee counts grow.

We believe every business — no matter how small — deserves:
- ✓Proper employee records
- ✓Accurate payroll
- ✓Clear contracts
- ✓Secure documentation
- ✓Compliance you can prove
Not spreadsheets. Not WhatsApp messages. Not guesswork.

We made a simple decision from the start:
Everyone gets full access. You only pay for how many employees you manage.
There are no hidden features, no locked tools, and no artificial limitations.
Whether you are a startup with 3 employees or a growing business with 60, you get the same powerful system — because doing things right shouldn't depend on your budget.
