A strong fit for growth in France

Paie & RH Solutions was founded by accountants Nicolas Pironneau and Florent de Stampa more than 20 years ago in Pau (Nouvelle-Aquitaine). It has rapidly established itself as a trusted payroll partner for SMEs and lower mid‑market companies across France. The customers are locally and internationally active in all types of industries. Paie & RH Solutions generated EUR 9 million of revenues in 2025.

With this acquisition, SD Worx strengthens its footprint in the South-west of France where Paie & RH Solutions has local offices in Anglet, Bordeaux, Mont de Marsan and Pau. The company also started business in Spain. Both founders will remain on board: Nicolas will continue steering the go-to-market, while Florent will continue to manage operations and service delivery.
