Outsourced Payroll Services

Ultimate statutory liability for PAYE, PRSI, and USC always sits with the employer — outsourcing doesn’t transfer that legal responsibility. What it does is dramatically reduce the risk of an error happening in the first place, through our preparer-reviewer process and IPASS-qualified oversight. Our engagement terms set out clearly where our responsibility for accuracy and timeliness begins and ends.

Because every pay run is filed in real time and fully documented, you have audit-ready records available at any point, not just at year-end. We can support you through a Revenue query or audit by providing the underlying submission history, RPN records, and reconciliations Revenue typically requests.

Beyond standard salary processing, we handle the areas that carry the most compliance risk: BIK on company vehicles or health insurance, share-based remuneration, and the specific tax treatment of redundancy or termination payments, which have their own exemptions and reporting rules under Revenue.

Yes. Payroll integrates seamlessly with our bookkeeping, management accounts, and tax compliance services. Many clients start with payroll and expand to a full outsourced finance function over time.

Payroll involves some of the most sensitive data a business holds, PPS numbers, salaries, bank details. Access is controlled, data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and our processes are built around GDPR obligations for both us as a processor and you as the data controller.

Yes. Because Kinore is a Chartered accountancy firm rather than a payroll bureau, your payroll costs, accruals, and pension liabilities flow directly into your management accounts and cash flow forecasts. There’s no manual reconciliation between separate payroll and accounting systems, and no data lag between what’s paid and what’s reported.

Yes, switching mid-year is straightforward. We transfer your year-to-date pay history, tax credits, and RPN data from your outgoing provider or in-house system, so there’s no gap in Revenue submissions and no disruption to employee payslips. Most switches are completed within one pay cycle.

No. Kinore’s payroll service scales with your business without you needing to hire additional payroll staff. Adding employees, a new pay frequency, commission structures, or a second payroll run (for example, a UK entity alongside an Irish one) is a configuration change on our side, not a resourcing problem on yours.
