Azets Ireland expands outsourcing division, creates 20 new jobs
DUBLIN, IRELAND—Professional services firm Azets Ireland recently unveiled its plans to expand its outsourcing division, which will create 20 new jobs over the next 18 months.
This expansion is expected to double the current workforce of the unit, which presently employs 20 people.
New Azets services to be rolled out
As part of the expansion, Azets Ireland will introduce a suite of new services, including cloud accounting and bookkeeping, management reporting, payroll services, business process outsourcing, and staff secondments.
These services aim to support businesses across various sectors, such as property development, energy, retail, and professional services.
Susan Wylie, Head of Business Services Outsourcing at Azets Ireland, highlighted the growing need for professional support in navigating regulatory compliance.
“With businesses facing increasingly complex reporting and payroll requirements as well as difficulties in recruiting trained staff, companies of all sizes are looking for the support of experienced professionals who can navigate regulatory compliance,” Wylie stated.
She further emphasized the benefits of outsourcing, noting, “By outsourcing certain accounting and compliance functions and leveraging the most modern cloud-based solutions, business leaders can regain valuable time and focus on growth and innovation.”
Tapping into financial services boom
Wylie also pointed out the increasing demand for these services due to upcoming regulatory changes.
“This need will only grow with pension auto-enrolment being introduced in January 2025 and gender pay gap reporting requirements being extended to employers with 150 or more employees this year and to employers with 50 or more employees in 2025,” she said.
Azets Ireland has also committed to significantly increasing its presence in the country, with plans to employ 400 people by the end of 2025. Currently, the firm employs a team of 220 people across its locations in Dublin, Enniscorthy, and Waterford.
Last September, the firm launched its financial services department to tap into the estimated €6.6 trillion (US$7 trillion) funds managed within the country.
