Payroll services for accountants
What could your team be doing if they weren’t doing client payrolls?
Let us handle your payroll headaches
As a trusted accountant, your clients expect you to offer payroll services if they aren’t doing it themselves. It’s a given, but it’s rarely appreciated.
The result? It drains your resources, frustrates your team, and risks your client relationships. Payroll isn’t a simple admin task anymore. It needs experience in all types of payroll and up-to-date compliance knowledge.
That’s why so many accountancy firms are partnering with payroll providers to provide a payroll service for their clients. Great service for your clients and freeing up of our valuable staff time.
How can payroll outsourcing help your practice?
Many practices already outsource activities, like tax filing and bookkeeping.
Payroll is another task that’s not core to your business but still needs to be done. Here’s why outsourcing payroll makes sense:
- Payroll errors are easily made and even minor ones can damage your reputation with clients
- Payroll is not simple. In fact, there are nearly 200 pieces of legislation and compliance related to payroll
- Payroll deadlines are relentless including approvals, BACS, RTI and pension returns
- Small internal teams can be a weak link if someone is absent or leaves the firm
- Payroll is a relatively low-level transaction, and by freeing up your staff’s time, you can allow them to focus on delivering higher-revenue services
- Payroll data is highly sensitive and needs to secure the platforms and processes most payroll providers have. Email just won’t cut it.
