My name is David Brennan; I am the financial accountant in Hooper Dolan Insurance Group based here in Waterford. Hooper Dolan Insurances was established here in Waterford in 1978, it’s now grown to be one of the largest broker chains in Ireland. We have ten offices nationwide spread from Waterford to Killarney up as far as Letterkenny in Donegal. We sell a wide range of insurance policies from home, motor to all types of business insurance.
Staff at Pimbrook – they are very helpful, friendly; their knowledge of their software is excellent, any problems we’ve had they’ve always strived to find a solution, office visits are never a problem. We chose Sage 50 – Sage is an international brand name, well known. Before Hooper Dolan, I’ve worked in a practice and of all the accountancy packages that we worked with Sage was probably one of the better ones.
We use Sage 50 for our accounts for all of the ten offices, so our nominal ledgers are recorded in Sage. For the larger offices then we use the supplier system so our supplier invoices, supplier payments are recorded on Sage. Also from a regulatory point of view for the insurance industry, we have to record all client bank activity. Sage Micropay is very user friendly; there’s a lot of features in it that save time, the fact that we have 150 employees to be paid monthly. We have integrated with our bank so payment files are created, also it’s integrated with Revenue Online, so tax details for all of our employees, as we are notified are downloaded.
I’d be only too delighted to recommend Pimbrook, as a support service for Sage Accounts and Micropay.

If you have a multi-company licence, you can transfer employees from one company to another. The way you would transfer your employee depends on if the tax registration number is the same as the company you’re transferring the employee from.
Note: Before you begin the transfer process, you should take a full system backup of the affected companies.
If the tax registration number is different
You must mark the employee as a leaver in their current company and add the employee as a starter in the second company. To do this:
Open Micropay > log in to the company you want to move the employee from.
Mark the employee as a leaver and generate their P45 information.
To close Micropay > Login > Exit.
Visit www.ros.ie > log in to ROS > upload the employee’s P45 information.
Open Micropay > log in to the company you want to move the employee to.
Set up the employee as a new starter.
You must notify Revenue to let them know that this employee has joined your new company. To do this, you must generate a P45 (Part 3) to ROS file within Micropay and upload it to the ROS website. Once Revenue receive the new starter form, they issue you with a P2C tax credit certificate specific to this employee.
You can then download the P2C file from the ROS website and import it directly in to Micropay using the Tax Credit Import option.
If the tax registration number is the same
Tip: The best time to transfer employees is at the beginning of a new tax year, before you start processing their pay. However, you can carry out this process during the course of a tax year if required.
You must manually transfer the employee’s year to date values from their current company into the second company. We recommend that you print the employee’s Earnings Tax & PRSI report. This report details their personnel details and year to date values for the current company.
Open Micropay > log in to the company you want to move the employee from.
