What our clients say

Read our case studies
The recruiting function is a big improvement for us. We encourage all job applicants to apply through the career portal. As we have multiple locations and divisions, having all our talent coming into one pool is great.”
Athina Tzakas
I believe Avanti is the best HR and Payroll solution in the country and it fully supports the needs of the thousands of colleagues that we employ.
Shirley Elliot
Because Avanti is so efficient at processing payroll, our payroll administrators don’t have to do a whole bunch of data entry anymore. They’re actually able to run the payroll and do some analysis… instead of just running to get it out the door.

Compared to the other systems I've used, I would recommend Avanti in a heartbeat. It's so nice to be able to do everything on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your time is precious, let’s save you a few clicks. Here are some of our most asked questions.

What does Ava check before I finalize payroll?
Expand Icon

Ava runs through the process checks for you — verifying active employees, checking for SIN expiries, applying tax calculations, running CPP/EI calcs, and confirming benefits and deductions — and flags anything that needs your review before you finalize.

Is Avanti built for Canadian payroll compliance?
Expand Icon

Yes. Avanti is built specifically for Canadian payroll — multi-province taxation, Quebec-specific forms, and ROEs are all handled within the platform, so you can stay compliant without tracking every rule change yourself.

How long does implementation take?
Expand Icon

Timelines vary by company size and complexity. Our onboarding team guides you through every step, from setup to your team's first day live on Avanti — talk to an expert for a timeline specific to your business.

Does Avanti do more than payroll?
Expand Icon

Yes. Avanti brings payroll, HR, time & attendance, recruiting, onboarding, reporting, and learning management together in one platform, so your team isn't switching between systems to get the full picture.

Can I see it before I commit?
Expand Icon

Yes. Book a walkthrough with one of our HR experts and we'll show you the platform with your roles and process in mind, rather than a generic demo.
