Azets Ireland won Payroll Team of the Year – Large at the Irish Accountancy Awards 2025 earlier this year, celebrated for its professionalism, operational excellence, and client-focused delivery across a diverse portfolio of payroll services.

The dedicated team manages payrolls for a wide range of clients, from large multinational organisations to owner-managed businesses, demonstrating precision, efficiency, and strategic impact at every stage.

Judges commended the team for its strong collaboration, especially during complex transitions such as mergers and organisational change.

“Azets Ireland impressed our panel with a well-presented and insightful submission, highlighting strong teamwork—particularly during the complex process of merging with another firm. The Payroll team demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and a deep understanding of the strategic impact of their work. In particular, our judges commended the detailed implementation plan and the team's ability to maintain excellence through transition and change,” the panel said.

The award underscores the rising standards within the Irish Accountancy Awards, where winners increasingly combine operational rigour, client impact, and innovative processes. Azets Ireland’s achievement establishes a benchmark for payroll services that prioritise accuracy, strategic insight, and seamless client experience.

With momentum building from the 2025 winners, attention now turns to the Irish Accountancy Awards 2026, where entrants are expected to continue raising the bar for payroll excellence, digital transformation, and client-centred accounting services.

Entries are open until 30 January 2026, with finalists to be announced on 19 March 2026. The awards gala will take place on 21 May 2026 at the Royal Dublin Convention Centre, convening Ireland’s accountancy leaders to celebrate achievement, innovation, and sector-wide excellence.
