What is Akatua+?

Akatua+ is payroll & HR, finally done right for Africa.

Built in Ghana, deployed across the continent. Akatua+ removes the
friction of compliance, multi-currency disbursement and disconnected
HR tools — so your team focuses on people, not spreadsheets.

Automated & Accurate

End manual spreadsheets. Akatua+ runs payroll with multi-step approvals, calculates every deduction correctly, and disburses salaries automatically.

Built for Compliance

GRA tax tables, SSNIT Tier 1/2/3, PAYE — all automatically applied and updated. Never miss a filing deadline or miscalculate a statutory deduction.

Pan-African Ready

Multi-currency, multi-entity, multi-country. Whether you operate in Ghana alone or across West Africa, Akatua+ scales with your footprint.

One System for HR & Payroll

Leave, performance, contracts, and payroll — unified. Eliminate double data entry and the reconciliation errors that come with fragmented systems.
