Beyond Legacy: Building with AI from the Ground Up
Niural’s founders recognized a critical flaw in the existing financial operations ecosystem: most companies are held back by outdated, legacy systems built decades ago. These fragmented tools, often designed in the 1980s, simply cannot keep pace with the demands of today’s distributed and dynamic workforce. Niural’s solution isn’t to patch up these old systems but to completely rebuild them with AI at the core.
This isn’t a new idea for the Niural team. As early as 2018, long before the mainstream AI boom, they were already developing sophisticated AI SuperAgents. This foundational experience taught them a crucial lesson: AI’s true potential is unlocked only when it’s natively integrated into the infrastructure, not simply added on as an afterthought.
Introducing the AI-First Platform: Smarter, Faster, and More Efficient
Niural’s platform is a unified, intelligent system designed to replace clunky, fragmented workflows. It’s the first AI-native global PEO (Professional Employer Organization), providing a single source of truth for managing employees, contractors, and vendors.
Here’s how Niural’s platform is transforming financial operations:
AI-powered Payroll: Manages global, distributed teams with unparalleled precision.
Unified Management: A single dashboard for all workforce types, including employees and contractors.
Real-time Compliance: Automated risk management and compliance ensure you’re always ahead of regulatory changes.
Intelligent Infrastructure: Built for scalability and agility, it adapts as your business grows.
A key feature of the platform is EMMA, the industry’s first “executional AI coworker.” This intelligent assistant works alongside finance teams, automating tasks and providing critical insights.
Tangible Results for Modern Businesses
Niural’s clients are already seeing significant improvements. By adopting the platform, they can:
Save over 60 hours per month on operational tasks.
Reduce HR and foreign exchange costs by up to 50%.
Reduce payroll errors by a remarkable 90%.
As a recent article in Axios noted, customers who initially come to Niural for payroll quickly discover the platform’s broader capabilities, often adopting three to six additional tools once they experience its seamless integration.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Vision
The $31 million raise is a testament to the trust Niural has built with its customers and investors. This funding will enable the company to expand its team and further develop its proprietary technology, including its tax engines and integrated payments infrastructure.
For finance leaders, CFOs, and operations professionals seeking to break free from outdated tools, Niural offers a clear and intelligent path forward. It’s not just a new payroll provider—it’s the foundational infrastructure for the future of work and finance.
