Overview
Parolla – Secure, Cloud-Native Irish Payroll Software
Parolla is modern, cloud-native Irish payroll software designed for businesses, accountants and payroll bureaus. Built specifically for Irish payroll legislation, Parolla integrates directly with Revenue and Xero to simplify payroll processing, improve accuracy and eliminate unnecessary data entry.
Independently ISO 27001 Certified
Parolla is independently certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the internationally recognised standard for information security management.
Unlike providers that rely solely on their hosting company's certification, Parolla's own information security management system has been independently audited and certified. This covers the people, processes and systems involved in developing, operating and supporting our payroll platform.
Cloud-Native, Collaborative Payroll
Parolla is built for the cloud, not adapted from desktop software. Access payroll securely from any browser, without installing software or managing updates.
Multiple users can collaborate with role-based permissions for business owners, accountants, payroll administrators, managers and employees.
Built-in approval workflows for leave and expenses allow employees to submit requests and authorised managers to review and approve them, reducing administration and improving accountability.

Parolla + Xero
Parolla connects directly with Xero to streamline Irish payroll accounting, eliminate double entry and keep your financial records accurate and up to date.
Once payroll is processed, Parolla generates matching accounts payable bills or manual journals in Xero, with wages, employer costs, benefits, deductions and payroll taxes automatically allocated to the appropriate accounts.
Flexible Payroll Accounting
- Bills or Journals: Choose whether to post payroll as accounts payable bills or manual journals in Xero.
- Chart of Accounts Mapping: Map wages, employer PRSI, pensions, benefits, deductions and tax liabilities directly to your Xero accounts.
- Tracking Categories: Allocate payroll costs to departments, locations or cost centres using Xero tracking categories.
- Draft or Approved: Control whether payroll transactions are created as drafts or approved entries in Xero.
- Detailed Reconciliation: Keep payroll costs and liabilities aligned with your Xero accounts, making reconciliation and financial reporting easier.
A Connected Payroll Workflow
Parolla is a cloud-native Irish payroll platform with direct Revenue integration, employee self-service and built-in approval workflows.
Employees can submit leave and expense requests, managers can review and approve them, and payroll administrators can process payroll using approved information. Timesheets can also be imported via CSV, reducing manual entry and the risk of errors.
Parolla automatically calculates PAYE, USC, PRSI, pensions and other payroll deductions, submits payroll information to Revenue and transfers the corresponding accounting entries to Xero.
Secure by Design
Parolla's information security management system is independently certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, providing assurance that information security is managed through internationally recognised standards.
With role-based access permissions, multiple users can securely collaborate on payroll without sharing accounts or compromising access controls.
