Everything a bureau needs to manage leave

Purpose-built for managing leave and time across many client companies — not bolted onto a single-company HR tool.

Multi-company by design

Manage unlimited client companies from one login. Each gets isolated data and its own branded employee portal.

Employee self-service

Staff request leave, check balances, and submit timesheets from any device — no phone calls or paper forms.

Smart approval workflows

Requests route through manager and HR approval chains automatically, with email nudges and escalations.

Always-accurate balances

Track accruals, usage, and forward projections so leave balances are correct the moment anyone looks.

One-click payroll exports

Push approved leave and time straight into payroll on a schedule. EzyPay works out of the box — and we build an export to any other payroll system, free of charge.

Rosters & timesheets

Capture start, finish, and break times — or units — with built-in spreadsheet import to save hours of data entry.

Up and running in three steps

From onboarding a new client to pushing data into payroll — without the spreadsheets.

01

Onboard your client

Spin up a company, import the employee list, and brand the portal with their logo and colors.

02

Staff self-serve

Employees request leave and log their time. Managers approve in a click; HR sees the whole picture.

03

Export to payroll

Scheduled exports send approved data straight into the payroll run — accurate, on time, every cycle.

Works with any payroll

Keep the payroll you already trust

Keep your payroll exactly as it is — desktop, on-premise, or web. BureauBuddy adds the part it doesn't include: modern self-service for staff, leave, timesheets, and a branded portal for every client. Approved data exports straight into your payroll, so nothing changes about the system you rely on. EzyPay works out of the box, and we build an export to any other payroll, free of charge.

Run desktop payroll for reliability or to stay clear of web outages? Keep it. Your staff still get a modern web portal, and your payroll stays exactly where it is.

Built for the way bureaus actually work

Most leave tools assume one company with one HR team. BureauBuddy assumes you're running leave and time for dozens of clients at once — and gives you the structure to do it cleanly.

Why BureauBuddy

Built by people who've run a payroll bureau

BureauBuddy didn't start as a product. It began as the backend systems our founders built to run their own payroll bureau — after years managing engineering for payroll providers across APAC. Those systems made the bureau far more efficient, and now other bureaus run on them too.

Less time on payroll admin

Cut the human hours it takes to manage leave and time across every client.

One standard way in and out

Standardized inputs and outputs to payroll — even across clients with very different needs.
