Payroll taking longer than it should?
For most owner-managed businesses, payroll sits in an awkward middle ground: too time-consuming to ignore, too easy to get wrong. RTI deadlines, auto-enrolment contributions, new starters, leavers, sick pay — each one requires something done correctly and on time. Getting it wrong means HMRC notices, and those rarely arrive at a convenient moment.
- RTI filing deadlines missed because pay day gets chaotic
- Auto-enrolment duties neglected or calculated incorrectly for eligible staff
- CIS deductions applied at the wrong rate or not verified with HMRC
What a managed payroll looks like
Your payroll runs in the background — processed correctly, submitted on time, with any issues flagged before they become penalties. You tell us who to pay and when; the rest is handled.
- Every RTI submission filed before each pay period deadline
- Auto-enrolment contributions calculated and reported accurately each month
- CIS deductions verified against HMRC and applied at the correct rate
- One fixed monthly fee — no surprises when you take on a new employee

Hasan is always prompt in responding to my inquiries and made complex financial concepts easy to understand. Their attention to detail and commitment to accuracy gave me great confidence in my financial decisions.
Everything your payroll actually requires
Managed payroll from Edward Harris covers the whole process — not just sending payslips, but every filing, deduction, and compliance obligation that goes with it.
Monthly Payroll Processing
Every pay run is processed accurately with the correct deductions for tax, National Insurance, student loans, and pension contributions. Payslips are issued to employees, and your PAYE records are kept current. Nothing gets forgotten because the process runs the same way, every month.
Included as standardRTI Filing and PAYE Compliance
Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries are filed with HMRC before each deadline. New starters and leavers are handled correctly, including P45s and P60s at year end. Your PAYE account stays up to date, so there are no unexpected charges when HMRC reconciles.
Included as standardCIS Payroll for Contractors
If you operate in construction, CIS adds a layer of complexity — verifying subcontractors with HMRC, applying the right deduction rate, and submitting monthly CIS returns. This is handled as part of your payroll service, alongside your regular PAYE obligations. No need to manage two separate processes.

Why businesses switch their payroll to us
Most payroll providers process what you send them. We flag what you have missed before it becomes a problem.
CIS and PAYE under one roof
Many payroll bureaus handle standard PAYE but treat CIS as a separate headache. If you employ staff and use subbies, both are managed together, with the correct deduction rates verified against HMRC each month. You do not need two providers or two sets of deadlines to track.
Deadlines tracked, not chased
RTI filing deadlines do not move, and HMRC does not send many reminders before issuing a charge. Your pay runs are processed ahead of each deadline, not the day after you remember. The filing happens; you find out it happened.
Questions get answered the same day
A new employee starts on Monday. A subcontractor queries their deduction statement on Wednesday. These things happen outside a convenient schedule. Queries come in by phone, email, or message, and they get answered that day — which is, frankly, what you should expect from an accountant.
Up and running in four steps
Switching payroll provider is usually more straightforward than it sounds. We handle the setup; you focus on the next pay run.
Get in touch, no pressure
Call 0161 706 1523, email, or fill in the contact form. We reply the same day. The initial conversation is free and there is no obligation to proceed.
We assess what you need
We will look at your current payroll setup, employee numbers, whether CIS applies, and your pension scheme. From there you get a fixed monthly fee — no ambiguity about what is included.
We take over the payroll
Existing payroll history is transferred and we set up as your payroll agent with HMRC. If your records are in some disarray, we sort that out before the first live run. You provide the pay data each period; we handle everything else.
Payroll runs itself, reliably
Each pay period, payslips go out, RTI is filed, and your PAYE account stays current. You are not chasing deadlines or wondering whether the pension contribution went in correctly. That is, on the whole, a considerably more comfortable position to be in.
“I cannot rate this company highly enough. I started off with an incredible expensive company who I could never reach or get good advice from – then THANKFULLY found Hasan who has been our accountant ever since. He always responds to messages and calls so quickly, has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is absolutely trustworthy.”
Things people usually ask us first
Do you handle CIS payroll as well as standard PAYE?
Yes. If your business operates under the Construction Industry Scheme, subcontractor verification, monthly CIS returns, and deduction statements are managed alongside your regular payroll. The two run together rather than as separate engagements. We also deal with the mixed scenarios — some employees on PAYE, some subcontractors on CIS — which is common in trades and construction.
What does a managed payroll service cost?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee based on the number of employees and whether CIS is involved. You will know the exact figure before signing anything. There are no per-payslip charges or surprise fees when you take on a new starter — that is already accounted for in how we price it. Get in touch and we will send a quote the same day.
Our current payroll records are a bit of a mess. Is that a problem?
It is not unusual. Most businesses that come to us are in some state of catch-up — whether that is mismatched PAYE figures, pension contributions not correctly recorded, or a payroll that has not been reconciled in months. We work through what exists before running the first live payroll, so nothing is carried forward incorrectly. There may be a modest one-off catch-up cost depending on the state of the records, which we will confirm upfront.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
No. There is no minimum term. If it is not working after a few months, you give notice and we hand back your payroll records, employee data, and PAYE history in good order. You will not be left with nothing to show for the time. That said, most clients find the arrangement straightforward and stay.
What do I need to provide each pay period?
Typically just the hours worked or confirmation of salary, plus details of any new starters, leavers, or changes in the pay period. We send a simple prompt before each run so nothing gets missed. The more routine the payroll, the less you need to provide each month.
Can you help us understand what we are actually paying in employer costs?
Yes. Employer National Insurance, pension contributions, and holiday pay can add up to considerably more than the headline salary figure. We can provide a clear breakdown of total employment cost per employee, which is useful when you are considering a new hire or working out whether a pay rise is affordable right now.
Payroll handled correctly, every time.
Fixed monthly fee. No long-term contract. RTI, PAYE, CIS, and pension duties all managed — with same-day replies when something needs your attention.
