The situation
A small business had taken on a few employees during a busy spell and tried to run payroll itself. Between the pay runs, real time filing and pension duties, submissions had been missed and amounts to HMRC had gone unpaid.
The problem
Missed Full Payment Submissions build up penalties under real time reporting, unpaid PAYE attracts interest, and auto enrolment duties were not being met. The employees also needed accurate payslips and records. It was becoming a compliance risk.
What we did
- Brought the filing up to date. We corrected and filed the outstanding submissions.
- Reconciled what was owed. We worked out the true PAYE position and arranged to settle it.
- Took over the running. We set up the pension scheme properly and now run each pay run on time.
What changed
The business is compliant again, the filing and payments are up to date, the pension duties are met, and payroll now runs smoothly each month without the owner touching it. The penalty risk is behind them.
What this shows
Payroll is relentless and easy to fall behind on. Getting it back on track quickly limits penalties, and handing it over removes the monthly pressure.

We bring your filing and payments up to date, sort your pension duties, and take over the monthly running, so payroll is compliant and off your plate.
