CBCR is more than a system. More than a login or a support queue. Marlena Cackowska built it on a simple belief — that a business owner deserves a qualified professional who knows their payroll, picks up the phone, and gets it right every time. Sixteen years in Irish payroll and senior finance gave her the expertise to deliver it. Business All-Star 2026. IPASS-certified. Named professional on every engagement.
Every client is assigned a named account manager from our IPASS-certified team. You always know who is running your payroll — and they know your business.
Marlena Cackowska has spent sixteen years in Irish payroll and senior finance, including time as a Finance Director. That matters because she understands payroll from both sides of the obligation. Not just the technical processing. The financial consequences of errors and gaps. The Revenue conversations when something is missed. The business owner who cannot get a straight answer about whether their payroll is correct. That is the gap CBCR closes. Not with software and not with a managed service. With an IPASS-certified professional who takes ownership covering your payroll, your compliance, your Revenue correspondence, and delivers it correctly every month. You get one point of contact. Sixteen years of experience. Finance Director-level understanding of what payroll errors actually cost. Your payroll runs correctly and on time. Your compliance is current. Revenue correspondence is handled before it reaches your desk, every month, without exception.

Every member of the CBCR payroll team holds IPASS certification. We maintain ongoing training in Irish payroll legislation. When Revenue rules change, minimum wages update or new obligations arrive, your payroll reflects them correctly from the first run. No catching up. No recalculating.
These are not marketing badges. They are the professional standards we maintain, and what you should expect from any payroll provider you trust with your compliance.
Ireland's professional payroll qualification. CBCR payroll professionals hold IPASS certification, the standard Revenue and NAERSA recognise for payroll competency.
Additional financial and accounting qualification held by the director, bringing Finance Director-level understanding to payroll strategy and compliance.
Payroll data is among the most sensitive personal data a business holds. Our systems, processes, and data handling comply fully with GDPR and Irish data protection law.
We are not a global platform with an Irish landing page. Our team is Dublin-based, Irish Revenue-trained, and available by phone during Irish business hours.
Every client has a named account manager. Not a helpdesk. Not a rotation. The same person, who knows your business and your payroll, every month.
We quote a fixed monthly cost before we start. Our pricing is published on our website. What we quote is what you pay: no extras, no adjustments, no conditions.
When Budget changes update tax bands or NAERSA updates contribution rates, you will hear from us before it affects your payroll — not after.
If Revenue or NAERSA contacts you about your payroll, you forward the correspondence to us. We handle it. That is the service we provide.
