Who we help

Taking on your first employee.

We register you as an employer with HMRC, set up your PAYE scheme and run your first payroll.

Small teams.

From one employee to a growing team, your payroll is run and checked by our accountants.

Limited company directors.

Director-only payroll, with your salary set to fit your wider tax plan. We plan salary and dividends together, and your personal Self Assessment can be added too. [See Self Assessment](/services/self-assessment).

Businesses switching provider.

Moving from another bureau or from running payroll yourself? We help you switch without missing a pay day.

Workplace pensions, handled

Auto-enrolment runs alongside payroll. Each pay run we assess your staff, send the required letters, calculate contributions and upload them to your pension provider. We also help with your declaration of compliance and re-enrolment.

Benefits in kind are moving into payroll

HMRC is phasing in mandatory payrolling of benefits in kind from April 2027. If you provide company cars, medical cover or other benefits, they will move from the P11D process into your payroll. We will plan the switch with you and run it through payroll when the time comes.

Payroll in Xero or QuickBooks

Our accountants are Xero Certified Advisors and QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisors. If your books are already in one of them, we can run payroll there so your payroll and accounts always match.
