Detailed Review

Nmbrs is the product a large share of Dutch accountancy firms run their payroll on, and its per-payslip pricing tells you who it was designed for: a bureau processing many employers rather than one employer processing itself. Employers use it directly too, usually alongside their accountant, and the split of responsibilities between the two is a genuine strength rather than a compromise.

One fact belongs in any shortlist. Nmbrs Payroll B.V. is registered in Amsterdam and has been part of the Norwegian Visma group since 2020. Both sit inside the EEA, so nothing about jurisdiction changes, but it is no longer an independent Dutch company and the roadmap now belongs to a group with many payroll products in it. Whether that is reassuring or not depends on what you value; either way you should know it before signing rather than after.

What Nmbrs does well

  • The default in a large part of the Dutch accountancy market
  • Per-payslip pricing that suits both bureaus and employers
  • Clean split of tasks between accountant and employer
  • Dutch entity, Dutch hosting

Where Nmbrs falls short

  • Part of the Visma group since 2020, no longer independent
  • Netherlands only
  • Pricing is quoted rather than published

Standout feature. Built for the accountant and the employer at once, which is how Dutch payroll actually works rather than how software usually assumes it does.
