How we work

Built by people who understand HR, finance, tax and technology

RigoHR is built by HR, finance and IT professionals, including chartered accountants. That is why the product argues for accuracy, approvals and audit trails before it argues for features.

Accuracy before novelty

If a number is wrong, nothing else matters. Maker-checker, audit trails and reconciliation come first.

Standard practice, adaptable

We help organisations adopt practices used by high-growth companies worldwide, configured to how they actually operate.

Long relationships

Customers stay for years. Implementation, support and training are done by our own team, not resold.

Nepal first, now beyond

Deep local compliance, and an international edition for organisations operating across borders.

No customisation needed

We have covered most of the cases an organization needs and can think of. You can configure the system to your own policy — without customization.

Leadership

The people behind RigoHR

Rigo is run by chartered accountants, information systems auditors, engineers and professionals from finance, HR, audit, taxation and technology who have worked in these fields for more than a decade in the relevant field.
