Payroll for contractors, done properly
As a contractor working through your own limited company, payroll isn’t about a big team — it’s about running your director’s salary at the most efficient level and reporting it to HMRC correctly through PAYE and Real Time Information.
We set your salary at the optimal point alongside your dividends, run the PAYE, file RTI on time, and handle your P60 and year-end — usually bundled with your limited company accounts so the whole thing is one fixed fee.
The headaches we take off your plate
If any of these are eating your time or worrying you, they’re exactly what we take off your plate.
