Slough-based IRIS Software Group has announced it has acquired Paycheck Plus, Ireland’s premier payroll services provider.
Founded in 2005, Paycheck Plus has clients in Ireland, the UK, Europe, and the USA. It provides an extensive range of payroll outsourcing services and is ISAE 3402 accredited, which verifies international standards for outsourcing including all necessary procedures, systems and controls.
“Since 2005, our mission has been to help our clients be their best by ensuring their payroll function is outstanding,” said Anne Reilly, CEO and founder of Paycheck Plus. “I am incredibly proud to lead Paycheck Plus into its next stage of growth and I know IRIS is an incredibly safe pair of hands for both our customers and colleagues.”
IRIS claims to have over 100,000 UK and international customers, with 80% having a tenure of five or more years. Currently, 90 of the top 100 UK accountancy firms and more than 21,000 UK accountancy firms use IRIS software.
The firm says it has over six million employees globally, including one in five of the UK’s workforce, who are paid by IRIS payroll offerings.
“Bringing Paycheck Plus into the IRIS family enables us to expand our Irish footprint further and provide our customers with a highly credible route into the EU,” added David Lockie, COO at IRIS. “Combining our decades of experience, our global payroll and HR solutions will enable businesses to continue their EU operations with minimal disruption. Over the coming years, we will continue to look for further opportunities to build scale in the managed payroll sector as part of our long-term ‘build, buy, partner’ strategy.”
