In recent years, payroll has become more burdensome on businesses with the introduction of regular electronic filing and auto-enrolment compliance. This is likely to increase when state benefits such as tax credits are aligned to the payroll.
More and more of our clients are outsourcing their entire payroll function. Many have seen savings in staff and software costs, not to mention the peace of mind of knowing that staff will be paid on time and deductions will be calculated correctly every time.
Free up your time to grow your business or do more of what matters to you.
It has become prudent for businesses to have correctly trained and qualified staff to manage their payroll responsibilities. An added benefit is you will no longer need to recruit and retain accounting staff, or arrange holiday and sickness cover.
