Payroll for You and Your Team

Payroll is the one thing you cannot get wrong. People notice immediately, and HMRC penalties for late filings arrive quickly.

We run it properly every month so you do not have to think about it.

What is included

  • Monthly or weekly payroll processing

  • Payslips issued to your team

  • Real Time Information submissions to HMRC on time, every time

  • PAYE and National Insurance calculations, and confirmation of what to pay HMRC and when

  • Workplace pension auto enrolment: assessments, deductions and submissions to your provider

  • Starters, leavers, P45s and P60s

  • Statutory pay for sickness, maternity and paternity

  • Director salary and dividend planning, coordinated with your personal tax position

Who this is for

Founders paying themselves for the first time, and growing brands taking on their first employees. If you are moving from freelancers to a payroll, or from a handful of people to a proper team, this is the point where doing it informally stops working.

Director payroll is a decision, not a default

If you own and run the company, how you take money out matters. The split between salary and dividends affects your corporation tax, your personal tax and your National Insurance record, and the best answer changes as your profits change.

We look at your business and your personal position together rather than in isolation, which is where most of the value in this sits.

Common questions

I am the only employee. Do I still need payroll?

If you are taking a salary as a director, yes, you need to be registered as an employer and file submissions even for one person.

What is auto enrolment and does it apply to me?

If you have staff who meet the age and earnings criteria, you are legally required to offer a workplace pension and contribute to it. We handle the assessments and the filings.

Can you take over an existing payroll mid year?

Yes. We will need your year to date figures and pension details to carry across.

Do you deal with HMRC on my behalf?

Yes, once you have authorised us as your agent.
