Payroll Outsourcing for UK Accountants and Bureaus
White-label payroll processing: pay runs, RTI figures and pension files prepared for your review.
Payroll overview
Payroll dates do not move. Every pay run needs a Full Payment Submission to HMRC on or before payday, PAYE and National Insurance paid electronically by the 22nd of the following month, and contributions sent to the pension scheme. In 2026-27, employer National Insurance is 15% above £5,000 a year, and workers aged 22 to State Pension age earning over £10,000 must be auto-enrolled.
We process payroll as a white-label team for UK accountancy practices and payroll bureaus. We work in your payroll software under logins you issue, take each period's changes from your client or your team, and prepare the run for your review. Your practice or bureau keeps the client, approves the run and makes every RTI submission under its own credentials.
Each run comes back with a variance report against the previous period, so unusual pay is spotted before payslips go out. From 6 April 2027, employers must report company cars, fuel, vans and medical benefits through payroll instead of on P11D forms, and we can help your clients' payroll set-ups get ready before the first pay run of 2027-28.

Questions about Payroll
Your practice or bureau does. We prepare the Full Payment Submission and Employer Payment Summary in your payroll software and leave them for your reviewer to approve and send. We never submit to HMRC or the pension scheme in our own name.
Employer Class 1 National Insurance is 15% on earnings above the secondary threshold of £5,000 a year, and eligible employers can claim an Employment Allowance of up to £10,500. Workers aged 22 to State Pension age earning over £10,000 a year must be automatically enrolled into a workplace pension.
Yours. We work in the payroll system your practice or bureau already runs, under individual logins you issue and can remove, so client data and payroll history stay with you.
From 6 April 2027, company cars, car fuel, vans, van fuel and employer-provided medical cover must be reported and taxed through payroll instead of on P11D forms. Most other benefits are due to follow from April 2028. Benefit values need to be set up in the payroll software before the first run of 2027-28.
Yes. We can take a steady monthly volume of pay runs, or add capacity around tax year end, new client onboarding and holiday cover. See outsourced bookkeeping for accountants for the rest of our practice support.
