Payroll & PAYE
Payroll run accurately, RTI filed on time, and HMRC kept happy. Whether you are a director-only company or you have a team, we keep payroll smooth and predictable.
What we do
- Run payroll (monthly/weekly) and issue payslips
- Submit RTI (FPS/EPS) to HMRC on time
- Handle starters/leavers, P45s and P60s
- Support statutory payments where relevant (SSP, SMP etc.)
- Help with auto-enrolment admin alongside payroll
How we do it
- Set up: confirm pay frequency, tax codes, NI categories, pension provider, and pay dates
- Each pay run: we confirm any changes, process payroll, send payslips, and submit RTI
- After payroll: we confirm what is due to HMRC and when
- Year end: we complete year-end steps and issue P60s
Items to note
- RTI submissions must be filed on or before payday.
- Employment Allowance rules can be nuanced (e.g. director-only companies often do not qualify).
- Auto-enrolment duties apply once you have eligible employees.
What we need from you
- Employee details (start dates, NI numbers, addresses, pay rates)
- Any changes each period (bonuses, overtime, leavers, new starters)
- Pension provider details (if applicable)
Typical timeline
- Setup is usually quick once we have the employee list and pay dates.
- Ongoing runs follow your pay calendar; we work backwards from payday to keep approvals simple.
More detail
Payroll is one of those areas where small mistakes compound. A late RTI submission, an incorrect tax code, or a missed pension duty can create a trail of admin and HMRC follow-up. We keep the process simple: confirm changes, run payroll, file RTI, and tell you exactly what is due and when. The result is a predictable payroll rhythm for you and your team.
For director-only companies, the goal is often tax efficiency and compliance rather than complexity. We can run a clean director payroll alongside your year-end accounts and tax, and coordinate with dividends so everything is documented properly and your records stay consistent.
Frequently asked questions
Can you run payroll for a director-only company?
Yes. We can run a simple director payroll and keep RTI compliant, then coordinate with dividends as needed.
Do you handle pensions?
We can support auto-enrolment admin and payroll deductions. If you need help choosing a provider, we will point you to suitable options.
What happens if we miss a deadline?
We structure the process so you do not. If we are waiting on approvals or last-minute changes, we will flag the risk early.
Do you use Xero payroll?
We can, and we also support other payroll tools depending on your setup.
