Hire anywhere.
Comply everywhere.
Employer-of-Record in 180+ countries, with localised contracts, taxes, benefits and an AI that tracks every regulation change so your policies don't go stale. One platform, one bill, every jurisdiction.
From offer letter to first payslip, without an office.
Kumo acts as the legal employer in every country we cover. You decide what work happens; we handle the entity, the contract, the taxes, the benefits, and the compliance, with one bill from one provider.
Tell us who, where, what.
Name, country, comp, start date. That's it. We map the role to local employment law and compensation norms automatically.
Local contract, in minutes.
Kumo drafts a compliant, locally-translated contract using your brand voice, ready for legal review and one-click e-signature.
One bill. Every country.
Run payroll, expenses and benefits across every entity from one cockpit, with consolidated reporting in your reporting currency.
180+ countries, one experience.
Kumo runs its own entities in the markets where most of our customers hire, and partners with vetted local providers everywhere else. Same UI, same reporting, same support, regardless of which engine sits behind it.
An AI that reads the statute books, so you don't have to.
Kumo monitors employment legislation, case law and tax changes across every jurisdiction you operate in, then translates updates into contract clauses, payroll rules and handbook edits.

Compliance, but the kind you can sleep through.
Most HR teams find out about a regulation change three weeks after it ships, usually from a contractor's email. Kumo flips that, alerting you the day a change drops, with the action already drafted.
- ⌁Continuous monitoring across statute, case law and tax authority bulletins in every covered country.
- ✦Auto-apply low-risk updates (rate changes, threshold adjustments) and route higher-risk ones for review.
- ⌘Audit trail of every policy change: who, what, when, source citation, version diff.
- ⌧Handbook & contracts regenerate in the local language. Employees are auto-notified.
Every detail, where it should be.
Not a translation layer over a US-shaped HRIS. Kumo is built country-by-country, so contracts, taxes, benefits and time-off all behave the way local employees expect, without bolt-ons.
Contracts & policies
Local-language templates by role and jurisdiction, e-signed and filed, with version control and an immutable audit log.
Taxes & filings
Withholdings, contributions, year-end filings and statutory reports calculated, generated and filed automatically.
Time-off & holidays
Statutory leave entitlements, regional public holidays, working-time directives, all encoded, never hand-managed.
Benefits & perks
Local health, pension, meal-vouchers, wellbeing, equity. Curated providers per market, one workflow for enrolment.
Pay everyone, everywhere, on payday.
A single cockpit for every entity, with live FX and a consolidated bill. Native engines in our covered markets, vetted partners everywhere else.
One invoice. Every entity. Every currency.
Run pay across every entity from one place. Live FX into your reporting currency. Equity, bonuses and expenses, settled on the same paycycle.

Kumo-run engines where we have entities; vetted local providers elsewhere. Same UI, one bill.

Live rates, consolidated reporting in your reporting currency, with rate-lock options.
Filings

A benefits stack local employees actually want.
Generic "global benefits" packages don't land in markets where statutory benefits already cover most of what US-style perks try to offer. Kumo curates a benefits stack per country, with vetted local providers.
