With over 300 employees across our offices in Warrington and Blackpool, plus a flexible hybrid and remote workforce, we help businesses and individuals navigate the complexities of employment, payroll, tax compliance, and financial management.
Caroola Group began as a collection of contractor accounting and payroll companies, which merged to form the Optionis Group in 2012. Over the years, we’ve grown through several acquisitions, integrating them into our core services. Today, Parasol, Caroola Accountancy and baa accounting operate as part of Caroola Group, delivering a full range of EOR (Employer of Record), payroll and accounting services.

We empower businesses to grow and streamline efficiencies while delivering exceptional service. With a commitment to integrity and customer satisfaction, we are dedicated to providing tailored solutions that make our clients' lives easier, helping them to succeed.
Our values
Our team
To be a market leader, we need exceptional people who are passionate about our mission. That's why, when we are looking to hire new team members, we search for individuals who align with our values, believe in our company mission and embody our company values.
In return, we do what we can to make Caroola Group a place where people want to work. Andy Ross, our CEO, says:
“I’m committed to making sure that Caroola is a business that people are proud to work for and want to work for, and that is very much more about culture and values than just what we do.”
