Payroll taking more time than it should?
Running payroll yourself is manageable until it is not. RTI deadlines, PAYE reconciliations, employee queries about payslips, and then the year-end P60 process on top of everything else. For a London business owner with a full diary, it is a reliable source of monthly stress that does not have to be.
- RTI submissions filed late or incorrectly, attracting HMRC penalty notices
- Hours spent each month on payroll that could go on running the business
- CIS deductions miscalculated, leaving subcontractors underpaid or the figures wrong at year end
What handled payroll looks like
Edward Harris takes on your payroll completely — calculations, RTI submissions, payslips, and PAYE payments — and runs it each period without chasing you for information you should not have to provide twice.
- RTI filed on time every period, PAYE liabilities confirmed before payment is due
- Payroll processed monthly without your involvement beyond approving the numbers
- CIS deductions verified against HMRC records, subcontractor statements issued correctly
- One fixed monthly fee — no per-payslip charges or year-end extras

Why London businesses use us for payroll
There is no shortage of payroll providers. These are the specific reasons clients choose Edward Harris and stay.
Questions Answered The Day You Ask
An employee queries their payslip. HMRC sends a notice. You need the PAYE figures before a board meeting. These things happen on a deadline. Edward Harris replies the same day — by phone, email, or message — so the question does not sit unanswered while you wait for a callback slot.
No Explaining Your Business Each Time
Once your payroll is set up, it runs. You are not re-briefing someone every month or correcting errors caused by someone unfamiliar with your pay structure. The same qualified accountant handles your payroll and knows your business.
ACCA-Qualified, Not Just a Software Subscription
Edward Harris is an ACCA-regulated practice with professional indemnity cover. Your payroll is handled by a qualified accountant, not routed through an automated platform with a help ticket when something goes wrong. That distinction matters when HMRC asks a question.
Up and running in four steps
Switching your payroll to Edward Harris takes less effort than most people expect. Here is what the process looks like.
Get in touch
Call 0161 706 1523, email, or fill in the form on this page. We reply the same day. The initial conversation is free and there is no pressure to proceed.
We discuss your payroll
We will ask about your pay frequency, number of employees, any CIS requirements, and your current setup. You do not need to have everything organised before the call — that is what the conversation is for.
We handle the setup
Edward Harris takes care of the HMRC registration and any information transfer from your previous payroll provider or software. You confirm the employee details and we do the rest.
Payroll runs itself
Each period, payroll is calculated, submitted to HMRC, and payslips are issued — without you managing the process. Your PAYE liability is confirmed in advance and the year-end reporting is handled without prompting. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Hasan has been amazing and extremely helpful he has been very patient with me being new to running a business, he had given me some great advice and I will continue to use Edward Harris & Hasan”
Things London businesses usually ask
Can you handle payroll for a London business if you are based in Oldham?
Yes. Edward Harris works with clients across the UK entirely remotely. Payroll does not require a local office — it requires the right software access, timely RTI submissions, and someone available to answer questions. All of that is handled the same way regardless of where your business is based.
What does payroll service cost and what is included?
Pricing is fixed monthly and based on the number of employees and pay frequency. RTI submissions, payslips, PAYE liability reporting, and year-end P60s are included as standard. There are no per-payslip fees or year-end extras. A fixed quote is provided before anything starts.
We are mid-year with another provider. Is switching complicated?
Mid-year switches happen regularly and are straightforward. Edward Harris takes over the existing payroll records, picks up from where the previous provider left off, and handles the HMRC authority transfer. There is no gap in your RTI filing and no disruption to employees’ payslips.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
No minimum contract. Payroll is provided on a rolling monthly basis. If you need to stop or move to another provider, your payroll records are handed over in full and nothing further is owed. The aim is to make staying the obvious choice — not to make leaving difficult.
Do you handle CIS payroll for construction businesses in London?
Yes. CIS payroll — subcontractor verification, monthly returns to HMRC, deduction statements — is a specific service Edward Harris provides. If you pay a mix of employees and subcontractors, both can be managed under the same arrangement. The CIS return deadline of the 19th of each month is filed without prompting.
Can you help with director payroll and salary and dividend planning?
Yes. Many London limited company directors take a combination of salary and dividends. Edward Harris can run director payroll at the most tax-efficient level and advise on the salary and dividend split each tax year. This is not a bolt-on — it is part of how an ACCA-regulated accountant approaches payroll for owner-managed businesses.
