Colleagues going through paperwork around a table

Payroll seems straightforward until you are in the middle of it. Tax codes change, people join and leave part-way through the month, pensions have to be assessed, and every run has to be reported to HMRC in real time. We take the lot off your plate, so paydays pass quietly and the compliance is handled in the background.

Payroll that runs smoothly, every period

Whether you employ one person or fifty, we run your payroll to whatever schedule suits you, weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly. Each period we work out pay, tax and National Insurance, produce the payslips, report to HMRC under Real Time Information (RTI), and tell you exactly what to pay your people and what to pay HMRC.

You get a clear, repeatable process and a single point of contact who knows your business, rather than a call centre and a ticket number.

What your payroll service includes

Pay, PAYE & NIC

Gross-to-net calculations with income tax and National Insurance worked out correctly on every run.

RTI submissions

Full Payment Submissions sent to HMRC on or before each payday, with Employer Payment Summaries where they are needed.

Payslips

Clear, compliant payslips for every employee, delivered securely each period.

Auto-enrolment pensions

We assess your employees, work out the contributions, and make the submissions to your pension provider.

Starters & leavers

New starters set up correctly and leavers processed with their P45s, so your records stay clean.

Year-end & P60s

End-of-year reporting handled and P60s issued to your staff on time.

Statutory pay, deductions and the fiddly detail

Good payroll lives in the detail. We handle statutory payments such as sick, maternity, paternity and adoption pay, along with pension contributions, student loan deductions, attachment of earnings orders and workplace benefits. We keep track of changing tax codes and thresholds so each payslip is right, and we flag anything that affects your costs before it lands on you.

A note on figures: tax rates, National Insurance thresholds, the National Minimum and Living Wage, and pension contribution levels are set by government and change regularly, usually each April. We apply the current rates for the relevant period and confirm them against GOV.UK rather than relying on last year's numbers.

Should you outsource your payroll?

Handing payroll over tends to make sense the moment it starts eating into your week or keeping you up at night, and it costs nothing to talk it through first. You will probably benefit if:

  • You spend time on each pay run doing calculations and submissions instead of running the business
  • You are not sure whether your auto-enrolment duties are being met
  • You have been late with an RTI submission or a pension upload before
  • You are taking on your first employees and want to start the right way
  • You want cover so payroll still runs when you are away or snowed under

How we take your payroll on

1

Set up and verify

We register you as an employer where needed, load your employees and pension scheme, and check your existing records are accurate.

2

Run each period

You send us the changes, hours, overtime, starters and leavers, and we process the run, report to HMRC and tell you what to pay.

3

Keep you compliant

We handle statutory pay, year-end returns, P60s and any HMRC correspondence, so nothing slips through.
