About Us

What We Do

We help businesses hire, pay, and manage talented professionals in Rwanda without the complexity of setting up a local company. Whether you need full employment services, payroll management, recruitment support, or HR advisory, we handle the administrative and compliance work so you can focus on building your team.

Our services cover everything from employment contracts and payroll processing to tax compliance with Rwanda's tax authority (RRA) and social security (RSSB). We also provide recruitment services to connect you with qualified Rwandan talent, work permit sponsorship for foreign employees, and strategic guidance for companies expanding into or operating in Rwanda.

With Umurimo, you get local expertise, transparent pricing, and personalized service — not a one-size-fits-all solution. We're here to make employment in Rwanda straightforward, reliable, and compliant.

Our Story

Umurimo was founded to simplify how businesses hire and manage teams in Rwanda without the complexity of setting up a local company. For years, international companies struggled with navigating Rwanda's employment regulations, managing payroll compliance, and finding qualified talent—all while working with intermediaries who didn't truly understand their needs. Our founding team brings deep expertise in Rwanda's employment law, business culture, and compliance requirements, so we built Umurimo to make all of that knowledge accessible in one trusted source. Our mission is to become the standard-bearer for reliable, compliant, people-first employment solutions in Rwanda.

Our Culture

We operate on three fundamental principles:

  • Compliance First — We believe trust is built on accuracy. Every payroll run, every contract, every filing is done correctly the first time.
  • Client Partnership — Your success is our success. We don't just process paperwork; we provide strategic guidance to help you build strong teams in Rwanda.
  • Local Expertise — We're not a global platform with a Rwanda checkbox. We're Rwanda specialists who understand the nuances of employment law, business culture, and regulatory requirements.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike larger EOR platforms, we offer personalized service with direct access to our team. You're not assigned a ticket number — you work with people who know your business and employees by name. We're small enough to be responsive, experienced enough to handle complexity, and local enough to navigate Rwanda's business environment with confidence.
