Milton Keynes Accountants — Payroll Service
Reliable Payroll That Runs Like Clockwork
Payroll errors and delays damage trust with staff and create unnecessary HMRC risk. We provide a structured, reliable payroll service that keeps payments accurate, compliant, and running smoothly — month after month.
Reliable Payroll Management
When Payroll Goes Wrong, Problems Follow Quickly
Payroll isn’t just a calculation exercise. It’s about accuracy, timing, compliance, and trust — and small mistakes can have outsized consequences.
The Cost Of Payroll Errors And Inconsistency
Payroll issues usually don’t come from complexity — they come from missed details, late processing, or unclear responsibility.
Common risks include:
- Late Or Incorrect Pay: Quickly damages staff morale and trust
- PAYE Errors: Incorrect tax, NI, or student loan deductions
- Missed RTI Deadlines: Automatic HMRC penalties and follow-ups
- Auto-Enrolment Mistakes: Incorrect assessments or missed communications
- Poor Records: Incomplete payroll history, P45s, or year-end data
Once confidence in payroll is lost, it’s hard to recover.
Payroll That Just Works In The Background
A properly managed payroll service removes pressure from your business and ensures employees, HMRC, and pension providers are all handled correctly.
- Consistent Payroll Schedule: A dedicated time slot so payroll runs like clockwork.
- Accurate Calculations: PAYE, NI, pensions, and deductions handled correctly.
- Compliance Built In: RTI submissions and HMRC requirements covered.
- Clear Reporting: Payslips and summaries that make sense.
- Peace Of Mind: Confidence that payroll is handled properly every pay period.
Payroll becomes a dependable process — not a recurring worry.

Workplace Pensions Without The Confusion
Auto-Enrolment Compliance — Set Up Right. Kept Right.
Auto-enrolment penalties can run into thousands. This service exists to stop that happening.
Initial Auto-Enrolment Setup Done Properly
Setting up auto-enrolment correctly is essential. Mistakes at this stage can create long-term compliance issues and unnecessary correspondence with The Pensions Regulator.
- Confirm Your Duties Start Date: Establish when your auto-enrolment obligations begin.
- Pension Scheme Setup: You choose the provider you want.
- Employee Assessment: Identify eligible, non-eligible, and entitled workers correctly.
- Initial Communications: Ensure staff receive the correct statutory information.
- Declaration Of Compliance: Submission to The Pensions Regulator completed accurately and on time.
A correct setup avoids problems later.
Ongoing Duties Handled As Part Of Payroll
Auto-enrolment doesn’t stop once it’s live. Each pay run brings ongoing responsibilities that must be managed accurately and consistently.
- Ongoing Employee Assessments: New starters and changes monitored each pay period and advice on employee postponement.
- Contribution Calculations: Employer and employee contributions calculated correctly.
- Pension Communications: Statutory notices issued when required.
- Opt-Outs & Refunds: Managed correctly and within required timescales.
- Re-Enrolment & Re-Certification: Handled every three years to maintain compliance.
Compliance maintained — without extra admin for you.
Benefits In Kind
P11Ds Prepared Correctly And On Time
Benefits and expenses must be reported accurately to avoid penalties and Class 1A NIC issues.
We Handle
- P11Ds for directors and employees
- Class 1A NIC calculations
- Common benefits including cars, medical insurance, mobile phones, interest free loans, accommodation, meal vouchers, child care costs, non business travel & entertainment and gym memberhips
Accurate reporting — no last-minute stress.
Construction Industry Scheme
Getting CIS Payroll And Status Decisions Right
CIS compliance involves more than deductions and monthly returns. It also requires correctly assessing how workers should be treated — and getting that wrong can be costly.
CIS Payroll Run Accurately & On Time
Managing CIS payroll requires consistent processing, correct verification, and timely reporting to HMRC. We handle the ongoing CIS payroll process so deductions, filings, and records are maintained correctly.
- Regular CIS Payroll Schedule: A dedicated processing slot to ensure payroll runs on time.
- Subcontractor Verification: Confirmation of CIS registration and deduction rates with HMRC.
- Accurate Deduction Calculations: Correct application of standard, higher, or gross rates.
- Electronic Statements: Clear payment and deduction statements for subcontractors.
- Monthly CIS Returns: Prepared and submitted accurately to HMRC.
- Year-End Statements: Annual CIS statements provided to subcontractors.
- HMRC Filing & Payment Guidance: File required reports and advice on amounts due with offset of any CIS deductions suffered if you are a subcontractor yourself.
Consistent processing keeps CIS payroll compliant and predictable.
CIS Employment Status Considered Carefully
CIS registration does not automatically mean a worker is genuinely self-employed. Employment status must be assessed carefully, contract by contract, to avoid future HMRC challenges and significant financial consequences.
- Status Review Support: Consideration of key factors such as control, substitution, and mutuality of obligation.
- Contract-by-Contract Assessment: Status can vary between engagements. And any written contract must reflect the reality of the working arrangements.
- Risk Awareness: Understanding where CIS and PAYE boundaries may be blurred.
- HMRC Alignment: Advice informed by HMRC guidance and established case law. HMRC are not always right!
Correct status decisions reduce long-term compliance risk.

ICAEW Regulated
Why ICAEW Regulation Matters
Here’s The Uncomfortable Truth:
In the UK, anyone can wake up tomorrow, print a business card, and call themselves an “accountant.”
- No guaranteed training
- No guaranteed regulation
- No guaranteed insurance
- No built-in consequences
We’re Different.
We’re Chartered Accountants — regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW), one of the most respected professional bodies in the world.
Why Does That Matter To You?
Because when it comes to your tax, your business, and your financial future, the person you choose is the difference between peace of mind and potential disaster.
Here’s What This Means To You
- Recognised by Mortgage Lenders. Many lenders require references from qualified accountants. Our credentials tick that box.
- Dealing with HMRC is easier when your accountant is properly qualified, regulated, and supervised — exactly what ICAEW membership guarantees.
- Mandatory Professional Indemnity Insurance. If something ever goes wrong, you’re protected. Full stop.
- Rigorous, Top-Tier Qualifications. We’ve completed years of training, exams, and practical experience before earning the letters after our name.
- Independent Quality Checks. We are subject to ICAEW practice reviews and regulatory oversight.
- Right of Complaint. If you ever have an issue (rare, but possible), you have access to an independent process through the ICAEW — not just “take our word for it.”
- Independent AML Regulation. The ICAEW, not HMRC, oversees our money-laundering compliance—an independent professional body.
Bottom Line
When you choose a Chartered Accountant, you’re choosing someone who is regulated, insured, qualified, independently monitored, and held to the highest ethical standards in the profession.
Why gamble your business on someone who isn’t?
Take it to the Bank!
