HRIT - HR Accounting and Tax Services in Italy

What HRIT - HR Accounting and Tax Services in Italy does

HRIT Srl is a Rome-based, founder-owned professional services firm founded in 1996 by Luca Aniasi and Marco Leonetti, both Dottori Commercialisti, providing integrated payroll, HR administration, accounting, and tax compliance for international companies entering or operating in Italy. Its core service lines cover Payroll Outsourcing (monthly calculations, INPS/INAIL/F24 filings), HR Administration (onboarding, contracts, expat mobility), HR Compliance & Advisory (CCNL selection, labor law updates), Accounting, Tax & Control (IRES, IRAP, VAT, statutory financials), and Entity Setup & Market Entry for foreign subsidiaries. The firm operates with 11-50 employees and delivers services bilingually (English for HQ, Italian for local employees), with service capacity scaling from 1 to 1,000 employees per client without partner change.

The business is anchored by certified expertise (ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 37001, UNI PdR 125, D.Lgs. 231 compliance) and by structural partnerships: HRIT is an independent member of INAA's 50+ country network and acts as the Italian execution partner for global payroll platforms including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP, and ADP. Its proprietary HR Cloud Platform extends the offering with centralized document management, automated leave and expense workflows, and self-service employee portals. Beyond Italy, HRIT has established HRLU S.à.r.l., a joint venture in Luxembourg, signaling the first step of geographic expansion of its integrated delivery model.

HRIT makes money primarily through professional services fees across four revenue streams: Payroll and HR Services, Accounting and Tax Services, HR Compliance Advisory, and Entity Setup / Market Entry. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with content marketing (a blog focused on Italian employment law and tax compliance), supplemented by channel referrals through global payroll providers and the INAA network. Customers include S&P 500 multinationals, international payroll providers (UK, Switzerland, USA), and an HNWI segment served via Italy's EUR 300,000 flat tax regime; pricing is custom-quoted per engagement rather than published.

• TMF Group: TMF Group is a global provider of corporate services including payroll, HR administration, accounting, and tax compliance, with a strong established presence in Italy. It is the closest large-scale peer to HRIT, serving multinational companies operating across multiple jurisdictions with integrated outsourced services.

Broad incumbents

• Workday: Workday is a leading global enterprise HRIS and financial management platform listed as an integration partner of HRIT.
