Congratulations to BrightPay for winning ‘Payroll Software Product of the Year’ at this year’s AccountingWEB’s Software Excellence Awards.
The group was up against Moneysoft, Xero Payroll, Capium and The Payroll Site.
BrightPay has a 99 per cent customer satisfaction rate, and is used to process payroll for over 120,000 businesses across the UK and Ireland.
Fantastic for BrightPay
Marketing manager Karen Bennett says: “We’re delighted to win this award, especially after coming so close last year. It’s fantastic for BrightPay and our team to be recognised by our customers and the AccountingWEB members, and a massive thank you to everyone who voted for us. Go team BrightPay!!!”
Paul Byrne, MD, adds: “It’s a real pleasure and honour to receive this award. It’s great to see such recognition for all the hard work we have put in. We work hard each year to improve the BrightPay experience for all of our customers, both in terms of the payroll software itself and the customer support that we offer.”
This year, the primary focus has been on BrightPay Connect, our optional add-on product to the BrightPay payroll system. We have been working on one of the most anticipated features yet for BrightPay Connect, which involves the ability for payroll clients to enter employee payments, additions and deductions or upload employee timesheets through their BrightPay Connect bureau/client dashboard. Furthermore, payroll bureaus can seamlessly send a payroll summary to their client before the payroll is finalised for the client to approve the payroll run through their secure portal.
This client payroll entry and payroll approval features (coming soon) enable bureaus to reduce the time needed when processing payroll, while putting the onus on the client to ensure the payroll information is 100 per cent correct before the payroll is finalised.

BrightPay will be returning again to both Accountex London and Accountex Summit North next year. Make sure to pop over to the BrightPay team to see the client entry features in action or book an online payroll demo today to see for yourself why BrightPay won ‘Payroll Software Product of the Year’.
