Real Time Information (RTI)
Under RTI rules, employers must submit payroll information to HMRC on or before every payday. Failure to submit on time results in automatic penalties. We ensure every submission is made on schedule, you won't need to worry about a thing.
Director payrolls
For limited company directors, payroll isn't just about paying yourself, it's a key part of your overall tax planning. We'll advise you on the optimal salary level to minimise your combined income tax, National Insurance and corporation tax liability, and handle the payroll running for the director(s) of your company.
Auto-enrolment pensions
All employers must automatically enrol eligible workers into a pension scheme and make minimum contributions. We manage your auto-enrolment duties, liaise with your pension provider, and keep you compliant with The Pensions Regulator requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What is RTI and why does it matter for payroll?
Real Time Information requires employers to submit payroll data to HMRC on or before every payday, not after the fact. Missing a submission triggers automatic penalties, we make sure every submission goes in on schedule.
Do I have to auto-enrol employees into a pension?
Yes, eligible workers must be automatically enrolled with minimum employer and employee contributions. We handle the assessment, enrolment, and ongoing compliance with The Pensions Regulator so nothing gets missed.
How much does payroll cost beyond my plan?
Payroll for the first employee or two is typically included in your monthly plan. Additional employees are charged at £6 per employee per month, with a £30 monthly minimum. Use our employee cost calculator to see the full picture.
Can you run payroll for just the director?
Yes, director-only payroll is one of our most common setups. We'll advise on the optimal salary level to balance income tax, National Insurance and corporation tax, then run it monthly alongside your dividend planning.
What happens when I take on my first employee?
We register you as an employer with HMRC, set up your PAYE scheme, arrange a pension provider for auto-enrolment, and get your payroll running correctly from day one, so you start compliant rather than fixing issues later.
