Getting payroll wrong costs trust with your team and money with HMRC.


Payroll mistakes hurt people


A payslip that arrives late. An underpaid pension contribution. A tax code that's wrong for six months. These are the things employees notice. They quietly damage trust.


And when HMRC notices, the penalties land on you. Late filing is £100 per month. Wrong RTI is interest plus penalties. Pension auto-enrolment failures get reported to The Pensions Regulator.

Transparent Pricing


Every client is different, so we don’t force businesses into one-size-fits-all packages.


We’ll discuss what support you need, agree the scope of work upfront, and provide a clear proposal before we start.


Many clients choose to spread the cost through monthly payments, helping them budget for their accountancy support throughout the year.

Common Questions

  • Do I need a payroll service if it's just me as the director?

    If you pay yourself a salary through PAYE, yes. RTI submissions are required regardless of employee count. We run director-only payrolls regularly.

  • Can you handle pension auto-enrolment?

    Yes, fully. Including the initial scheme setup if you haven't done it, ongoing contributions, opt-ins, opt-outs, and re-enrolment every three years.

  • How quickly do you turn payroll around?

    Standard turnaround is two working days from receiving the pay data. We can move faster on request.

  • What if I take on a new employee mid-month?

    Send us their starter checklist and P45 (if they have one) and we'll get them set up before the next pay run. New starters can be added any time.

  • Can you handle CIS payroll alongside standard PAYE?

    Yes. Many of our construction clients pay both employees through PAYE and subcontractors under CIS. We handle both sides in one service.
