Streamlining payroll and expenses management: A success story with BrightPay and BrightExpenses
Staying ahead of regulatory changes and ensuring that business isn’t negatively impacted is key for businesses of all sizes. Virtual Bookkeeping, established in 2017 looks after payroll for a wide range of clients, including a prominent pharmacy group with over 35 pharmacies. When Enhanced Reporting Requirements were introduced by Revenue, the reality of implementing expense reporting alongside fortnightly payrolls for more than 200 employees felt like a scary unknown for Lynn Graham.
Navigating Enhanced Reporting Requirements in Ireland
The introduction of enhanced reporting requirements in Ireland presents a new challenge for payroll professionals who already handle complex data. For many, like Lynn, the idea of learning how to navigate these compliance complexities and still run a profitable business was a huge concern.
However, as Lynn shares in her case study, Bright’s proactive approach to user education was invaluable in getting going with ERR. Through comprehensive webinars, BrightPay outlined the changes, providing clear guidance on expectations and strategies to help payroll processors cope with the legislation. For Lynn, these sessions empowered her to navigate the new landscape with confidence, ensuring compliance to regulatory standards.
From the very first submission it was “oh that’s handy, that was great” – it’s such a relief.

BrightPay’s payroll software, complemented by the BrightExpenses module, offers an intuitive and user-friendly experience. We’ve created seamless integration between payroll processing and expense management to simplify your workflow and manage ERR submissions with minimal effort. The step-by-step processes are designed to be straightforward, reducing the time spent on each submission to approximately ten minutes.

In her video, Lynn highlights a standout feature of BrightPay and BrightExpenses: the support and continuous education provided to users. At Bright we prioritise resources that help our customers, including detailed demos and responsive support channels so that any questions or challenges encountered are simple to navigate.
