Our outsourced PAYE payroll services can be seamlessly included in any of our accounting packages. We know how important it is for your team to be paid accurately and on time—every time. It’s a vital part of running a smooth, successful small business.
Much like managing VAT Returns, payroll can quickly become a major burden. It’s complex, time-consuming, and places full responsibility on the employer. That’s why we offer a flexible, fully-managed payroll service tailored to your specific needs.
All payslips are securely emailed to your employees, complete with encrypted reports for full peace of mind. But we don’t just process payroll—we provide ongoing advice, support, and guidance on everything from tax codes to employee benefits, helping your business stay compliant and efficient.

Get started with the right accounting solution for your business
If your business employs staff, you’ll need to run a payroll. HMRC has strict rules around employment classification, so it’s vital to assess whether each worker qualifies as an employee.
Payroll refers to the process of calculating employee wages and deductions—such as income tax and National Insurance—under the PAYE (Pay As You Earn) system. Employers must submit Real Time Information (RTI) returns to HMRC on or before each payday.
Failing to submit these returns on time can lead to penalties starting at £100 per missed submission, plus interest on any underpaid tax or National Insurance.
That’s why it’s crucial to have a reliable payroll provider in place. It ensures accuracy, avoids costly mistakes, and keeps your business fully compliant.
What is payroll outsourcing?
Payroll outsourcing involves hiring a third-party provider to handle all aspects of payroll processing, including calculating wages, deductions, and submitting Real-Time Information (RTI) returns to HMRC.
How can outsourcing payroll benefit my business?
Outsourcing payroll can save you time, reduce the risk of errors, ensure compliance with tax regulations, and provide expert advice on employee benefits and PAYE issues.
What does PAYE stand for, and why is it important?
PAYE stands for Pay As You Earn, and it’s the system used by employers to calculate and deduct income tax and National Insurance contributions from employees’ wages. Accurate PAYE management is critical to avoid penalties from HMRC.
How much does payroll outsourcing cost?
The cost of payroll outsourcing depends on the size of your business and the complexity of your payroll needs. We offer flexible, affordable packages tailored to your requirements, with prices starting from just £2.50 per payslip.
What is Real-Time Information (RTI), and why do I need to submit it?
RTI is a system that requires employers to submit payroll information to HMRC each time employees are paid. It ensures that the correct amount of tax and National Insurance is paid and helps avoid penalties for late or inaccurate submissions.
How secure is my employee data when outsourcing payroll?
We take data security seriously. Employee payslips and payroll information are delivered securely via encrypted emails, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with GDPR regulations.
What happens if I miss a payroll deadline?
Missing payroll deadlines or failing to submit RTI returns on time can result in penalties from HMRC, starting at £100 per missed return, plus interest on any underpaid tax. Outsourcing payroll helps ensure you never miss a deadline.
Can I integrate payroll with my existing accounting software?
Yes, our payroll services are fully compatible with leading accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks, and more, allowing for seamless integration and efficient financial management.
Will I still have control over my payroll processes?
Yes, while we manage your payroll, we provide you with real-time access to reports, ensuring you stay informed and in control. You’ll also have a dedicated payroll expert to answer any questions you have.
What types of businesses can benefit from payroll outsourcing?
Our payroll services are designed for businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to larger companies. Whether you have a few employees or hundreds, we can tailor our services to suit your needs.
Do I need to set up a workplace pension for my employees under PAYE?
Yes, if you employ at least one eligible worker under PAYE, you’re legally required to set up a workplace pension scheme and automatically enrol them. This is known as auto-enrolment. You must also make minimum contributions to the pension. The Pensions Regulator will inform you of your duties, and you’ll need to complete a declaration of compliance- even if you don’t have anyone to enrol.
