FOR ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Software for accountants
Bright is built for Irish accounting practices, bookkeepers, payroll professionals and the businesses they serve. Bright provides a connected suite designed around how they work, from winning a client to preparing accounts for Revenue and keeping every CRO deadline in view.
Year-end without the bottleneck: Bookkeeping, accounts production and workpapers work from the same client data, so the year runs from the books through to iXBRL financial statements ready for the client’s CT1 on ROS, with nothing rekeyed between systems.
Automatic client chasing: Proposals, onboarding and client document requests run in one place, so information arrives on time and deadlines stop slipping in the weeks before year-end.
Practice-wide task visibility: Every job, every deadline and every team member’s capacity in a single view, with CRO deadlines pulled in automatically, so backlogs surface early instead of hiding until they are overdue.
HOW IT WORKS TOGETHER
Suite of award-winning software for accountants
Use Bright software for every step of running your Irish accountancy practice, from the first conversation with a prospect to the final Revenue and CRO deadlines.
Win and retain clients
Turn new enquiries into signed engagements with proposals built on your own service lines and pricing logic, then handle anti-money laundering (AML) risk assessments and letters of engagement as part of onboarding.
Run your practice
Track every job, every deadline and every team member’s capacity from a single practice management hub, spot bottlenecks before they become missed deadlines, and monitor work in progress in real time.
Deliver compliance work
Produce FRS 102, FRS 102 Section 1A and FRS 105 accounts and review workpapers in connected tools that pull from the same client data, then generate tagged iXBRL financial statements ready to submit through ROS with the CT1. BrightBooks clients need no trial balance import.
Stay ahead of CRO deadlines
Every company client’s annual return date sits in BrightManager alongside their other deadlines, so your team can track the 56 days the CRO allows for filing the B1 annual return and financial statements on CORE.
Manage payroll clients
Offer payroll as a service to your clients, processed at bureau scale, with PAYE Modernisation reporting to Revenue on every run, My Future Fund auto-enrolment managed, and Enhanced Reporting Requirements (ERR) submissions sent to ROS through BrightExpenses.

BETTER TOGETHER
Software suite for accountants
Each Bright product is strong on its own while some can connect to other Bright products.
Proposal and pricing software connected to practice management - a proposal accepted in BrightPropose turns the prospect into a live client in BrightManager, with services switched on and no duplicate entry.
Practice management software connected to accounts production - the accounts client in BrightManager is carried over to BrightAccounts
Bookkeeping software connected to accounts production - BrightAccounts
Payroll software connected to accounting software - payroll journals from BrightPay are sent to the general ledger in BrightBooks without having to leave the payroll software.
CRO deadlines surface alongside the rest - annual return dates pulled in from the CRO appear in BrightManager next to everything else the client owes.
