Is your payroll set up correctly?

Answer five quick questions and get a clear picture of where your payroll process stands and what to do next.

WHAT I DO

What I handle on your behalf

From monthly payslips to HMRC submissions, I take the full payroll burden off your plate so you can focus on running your business.

01

Monthly Payroll and Payslips

I calculate your employees’ pay each period, accounting for the correct tax codes, National Insurance contributions, and any deductions. Payslips are produced and distributed on time, every time. New National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rates from April 2026 are applied automatically, so you are never caught out by a rate change.

02

RTI Submissions to HMRC

Real-Time Information reporting requires a Full Payment Submission to be filed with HMRC before each payroll is processed. I handle every submission electronically, on or before the payment date, to keep you fully compliant. Errors in RTI reporting can trigger penalties from HMRC, so accuracy and timing matter every single month.

Filed before every payment
03

Pension Contributions and Auto-Enrolment

I calculate and report employer and employee pension contributions in line with your auto-enrolment obligations. You will always know what is due before it leaves your account. This sits alongside the full payroll service, so there is no need to manage a separate provider for pension reporting.

No separate provider needed
WHY IT WORKS

Why clients come back every year

Running payroll yourself is time-consuming and one small error can mean a penalty from HMRC or an unhappy employee.

A fixed price agreed before any work starts

You will know exactly what payroll costs before I do a single thing. No monthly surprises, no add-ons for filing, no hidden charges when you take on a new employee mid-year. I give you a clear fixed price and stick to it.

You speak to me, not a call centre

Sixty percent of businesses report long wait times when dealing with payroll providers, and 72% are frustrated by having to repeat information to multiple people. That does not happen here. You always deal directly with me, and I respond the same day.

25 years of real business experience behind every submission

I spent over 25 years running businesses before I qualified as an accountant. I understand the pressure of getting payroll right when you have staff relying on their pay. That practical background shapes how I work, not just the technical accounting rules.

GETTING STARTED

How it works

Getting your payroll set up with me is a straightforward four-step process with no complicated onboarding.

01

Book a free call

We talk through your payroll situation, how many employees you have, your current setup, and whether there are any complications to sort out first. No obligation, no jargon.

02

Receive a fixed price quote

I give you a clear price for the payroll service before any work starts. You know exactly what you are paying every month with nothing added on later.

03

Send me your payroll information

Each pay period you send me the relevant details, hours worked, any changes to pay, new starters, or leavers. I take it from there.

04

I file and you are done

I calculate pay, produce payslips, submit the RTI filing to HMRC before the payment date, and report pension contributions. You approve and it is finished.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common questions

Yes. HMRC requires RTI submissions for every employer, regardless of how many people you pay, including directors who pay themselves a salary. A single missed or late submission can trigger a penalty. The size of your team does not remove the compliance obligation.
It happens more often than people realise. Around 84% of UK small businesses admit to making payroll errors. The correction process involves submitting an additional Full Payment Submission to HMRC for the affected period. I can review your previous submissions and put things right before they become a bigger problem.
Yes, and I can usually do it with minimal disruption to your pay cycle. I will need your current payroll records, employee details, and HMRC payroll reference. Most transitions are completed before the next payroll run.
Several changes took effect for the 2026-27 tax year. New National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rates apply from the first pay period on or after 1 April 2026. Small Employers’ Relief compensation increased from 8.5% to 9%. Employers also need to have registered to payroll Benefits in Kind by 5 April 2026 if applicable. I keep on top of these changes so you do not have to.
