The Slough-based IRIS Software Group, one of the UK's largest software firms, has made a significant acquisition buying up the Irish payroll company Paycheck Plus.
With clients across Ireland, Britain, Europe and the USA, Paycheck having quickly become more than just Ireland’s premier payroll services provider. With their extensive range of payroll outsourcing services, the company were an attractive proposition to IRIS.

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.”
“With IRIS’ resources and working with the brilliant IRIS team, who are as dedicated to delivering outstanding payroll as we are, we will be able to take our services to the next level. I look forward to supporting Bróna Grogan as Seamus Reilly steps down and she takes over the reins at Paycheck Plus. We are excited at the prospect of seeing Paycheck Plus flourish further within the IRIS family.”
