About Mercans

Headquartered in Tartu, Mercans is a global payroll and HR services provider that says it has been operating for about twenty years and delivers its offering across roughly 160 countries. Its clients are internationally active organisations that need to pay and manage employees and contractors in several jurisdictions with a single partner. The group combines its own cloud payroll software with local in-country teams, and sells managed payroll, employer-of-record hiring, contractor management and HR advisory work. For companies entering a new market it also offers entity incorporation together with ongoing local compliance. A business-process-outsourcing line covers HR, finance, accounting, payroll and back-office setup, while a mobility practice handles immigration, relocation and cross-border tax and payroll coordination. The firm lists well-known multinational corporations among its case studies and publishes statutory change alerts by country for its clients.

Services

Services include global payroll processing on a proprietary software platform, managed payroll run by local experts, employer-of-record employment without a local entity, and contractor payments and classification support. The business-process-outsourcing offer combines accounting, finance, HR and back-office set-up with reporting. Mercans also arranges incorporation of local entities and continuing statutory compliance for market entry, plus global mobility support covering immigration, relocation, and tax and payroll coordination. HR advisory and talent acquisition services complete the range.
