Based in Shropshire, working with businesses across the UK.

We give you clarity, control and confidence, with a simple process, clear cut-off dates, and accurate payroll that’s checked before submission.

Initial Onboarding Call

First, we’ll book in a call with you to introduce your key point of contact and gather the information needed to get everything set up.

Professional Clearance

Next, we get in touch with your current payroll service to request professional clearance and data handover. This is a common process, so nothing to worry about. We take care of it all.

Agent Access & Data Review

Once we are set up as your agent for PAYE with HMRC we’ll have access to review your PAYE account to make sure everything is up to date and matches the payroll data provided. We’ll do the same with your pension provider. You’ll be kept informed of progress and any issues found.

Payroll Schedule & Training

You’ll receive your payroll schedule to sign off. This will confirm all deadlines and cut off dates so we’re all working together. We provide training and guidance on your part in the payroll process. Guides to share with employees are included, to make the transition smooth.

Go Live

Then, we’re ready to go live with your new payroll service.

Check-in

Finally, we’ll review with you how the first payroll went and look at any changes needed.

We price per payslip. As a result, the final price will depend on headcount, frequency and any additional payroll services needed.
