Folks and Komplice Announce a Strategic Partnership to Simplify Payroll Management for SMEs
Two Quebec-based companies at the forefront of HR digital transformation are now joining forces: Folks, the leading human resources management software for Canadian SMEs, and Komplice, a consulting firm specializing in payroll, strategic HR support, and HRIS implementation. Together, they are announcing a strategic partnership aimed at simplifying and enhancing the payroll experience for small and medium-sized businesses.
An Integrated Solution for a Smoother HR Experience
Through this collaboration, SMEs will benefit from an all-in-one solution that combines the technological strength of Folks with Komplice’s deep payroll expertise. The result: a smoother, more human, and more efficient HR experience.
"Thanks to our partnership with Komplice, Canadian SMEs now have a choice: manage their payroll independently with the simplicity of Folks’ payroll module, or entrust 100% of their payroll management to Komplice’s expertise. This offer directly addresses our clients’ request for a modern all-in-one HR and payroll solution, with the flexibility to delegate payroll to experts."
— Jimmy Plante, CEO of Folks
Human Expertise Driving Innovation
Based in Quebec, Komplice has been supporting local businesses for several years in the strategic and operational management of their payroll and HRIS. Its personalized approach, combined with recognized expertise, makes it a natural ally for Folks.
In practice, client companies will be able to rely on Folks to centralize all their HR data and automate processes, while Komplice takes full charge of payroll operations. From implementation and initial setup to legal compliance, through to payroll preparation and processing as well as benefits management, Komplice deploys its complete expertise. This complementarity reduces the risk of errors and lightens the administrative burden of SMEs.
"At Komplice, we have a clear mission: to contribute to our clients’ success by helping them focus their energy where they create value. This partnership with Folks aligns perfectly with that vision: offering SMEs a complete HR and payroll solution that goes beyond process optimization to become a true lever for growth and long-term success."
A Collaboration Designed for Local Businesses
This partnership addresses a real need among Canadian SMEs, where payroll management is often fragmented across multiple tools and processes. Thanks to this new synergy, Folks and Komplice enable better data integration, fewer errors, and valuable time savings for HR managers.
And for businesses looking for payroll-only solutions, the software is also available as a standalone product. This flexibility allows SMEs to benefit from a simple, reliable, and efficient tool without having to commit to a full-service package—choosing the exact level of support that fits their reality.
