Support Services

Sometimes, things go wrong.

You enjoy processing payroll internally and nine times out of ten everything is fine and runs smoothly. However, it isn’t your area of expertise and it isn’t an area that you feel comfortable in when changes happen or an odd query arises.

We offer support only services for just this. Below are some of the things we offer support with:

  • General advice on how to apply HMRC guidance. (perhaps you have an employee who has gone on maternity leave for the first time or how to apply a court order to the payroll.

  • Specific complication and you don’t know where to start? Do HMRC believe you or your clients have underpaid PAYE but don’t agree. Or perhaps you have inherited a payroll where pension deductions have not been treated in compliance with auto enrolment regulations and you are not sure how to fix?

  • Payroll sounding board. Is there a new piece of legislation or the thresholds have changed mid year and you want to check you have understood and applied them in the right way for your business. We are happy to be your sounding board so you feel confident moving forward.

Consultancy

Whether you are an accountancy firm, bookkeeper or a business that runs your payroll internally, our consultancy services can help in a number of ways. Often these are standalone projects but this can be combined with our ongoing support services where appropriate.
