Employers without a dedicated payroll person.
Where payroll is absorbed by a finance manager, an office manager or a director alongside a full job, and every pay run competes with everything else in the diary.
Who we work with
UK employers who want payroll to be a process, not an event
Every payroll is scoped individually. That said, certain situations come to us more than others.
Employers running more than one pay frequency.
A weekly operational payroll and a monthly salaried payroll running in parallel doubles the deadlines and the failure points.
Employers with variable pay.
Overtime, shift premiums, multiple rates, expenses, commission, court-ordered deductions — where the calculation genuinely differs every period.
Employers with a temporary or contractor workforce on their own PAYE scheme.
High turnover, high starter and leaver volume, weekly cycles. We process these where you are the employer and have confirmed the status and tax treatment.
Employers changing provider.
Where the current arrangement is not working, or where a provider relationship is ending and the payroll has to move without disruption.
Employers who have inherited a mess.
Where payroll was set up informally, has grown, and nobody is confident the records are right. The migration project exists for exactly this.
Employers with a single director or a small salaried team.
Small payrolls still have every statutory deadline a large one has. They are straightforward to run and we are happy to run them.
Where we are not the right provider
We say so at scoping rather than take the work. We are not the right fit if you need:
- workers recruited or supplied — we are not an employment agency or employment business;
- an umbrella company or employer of record arrangement;
- a determination of employment status or off-payroll working status;
- bookkeeping, management accounts, statutory accounts, VAT returns or corporation tax work;
- someone to hold or disburse payroll funds; or
- legal, tax or regulated financial advice.
In those cases we will tell you what kind of provider you need.
