Payroll

Payroll

A seamless service that powers your people

There’s no better example of the human impact that numbers have than payroll. It’s the most important element of the relationship between an employer and their team.

When it comes to outsourcing you need someone who understands the importance of accuracy and reliability and works as an extension of you, understanding the trust between you and your team.

We’re very proud to be certified by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals, the gold standard for payroll and people investment, which is a scheme developed in collaboration with HMRC. We’re one of the few independent accountancy firms in Scotland to hold this accreditation, giving our clients the confidence that our payroll service is of the highest quality.

Making the complex simple

Bacs

We're a Bacs bureau, so can make payments directly to your team securely, accurately and timely as well as making payments to HMRC and other third parties.

Pension

Accurate and on time: we ensure employers are compliant with pension regulations and work with multiple pension providers to upload contributions and make payments.

Regulation

Payroll legislation changes frequently: minimum wage rates, tax/NIC thresholds, pension contributions and more are subject to constant revision. We’ll make sure you stay on top of it.

Healthcheck

We provide payroll checks to make sure everything’s in order. Something you’re not certain of? Worried about things on the horizon? We’ll check for you.

CIS

Ensuring accurate and timely submission of Construction Industry Scheme monthly returns, as well as verifying subcontractors and issuing statements.

Salary sacrifice

Keep ahead of changes to the scheme, your team’s requests and the management of it – we’ll cover everything for you.
