Core consulting service
We can tailor our approach to suit your specific requirements, but at the heart of what we do is our core consulting service. Our comprehensive payroll review includes;
Are there any compliance issues or risks associated with how your payroll is managed today?
Are you getting value for money or paying a premium for a below-par service?
Are you being charged for hidden extras that can quickly add up?
Are there efficiency gains that can be realised from how your payroll is processed today?
Are you getting high-quality service or suffering from frequent errors?
You don’t need to continue paying premium prices for sub-standard service. We can help you make annual savings and streamline your payroll management.

Services for in-house payroll teams
Managing payroll internally gives you control, but it also requires the right systems, processes, and expertise to ensure accuracy and compliance. Our payroll software review and selection service provides expert guidance on choosing the right technology solution for your business needs, taking into account your organisation’s size, complexity, and growth plans.
We offer hands-on system implementation support to ensure smooth deployment and comprehensive staff training so your team can maximise the software’s potential.
We work with organisations of all sizes but specialise in solutions for growing businesses that need scalable, cost-effective payroll management without compromising on compliance or service quality.
Payroll outsourcing guidance
Whether you’re considering outsourcing your payroll for the first time or looking to switch to a new vendor, our independent expertise ensures you make the right choice for your business.
Outsourcing for the first time
The decision to outsource payroll shouldn’t be taken lightly. We work with you to define exactly what you need from a payroll provider, creating a detailed requirements specification that helps avoid costly mistakes and ensures potential providers understand your expectations.
Our vendor selection process provides independent guidance without vendor bias, helping you navigate the complex landscape of payroll providers.
We assist with contract negotiation to ensure you get the best possible deal while avoiding hidden charges that can significantly increase costs over time. Our experience working with numerous providers means we know what to look for in contracts and service level agreements.
Switching payroll vendor
If you’re already outsourcing but experiencing issues with your current provider, we can help you find a better solution.
Our current service review provides a comprehensive analysis of your existing provider’s performance and value, identifying specific areas where improvement is needed. We conduct thorough market analysis to understand what alternatives are available and how they compare to your current arrangement.
Our vendor evaluation service provides an independent assessment of potential new providers based on your specific needs, not their sales presentations.
Payroll consultancy services for education
Ian’s experience working with 100’s of education establishments means we are highly experienced in the payroll and pension complexities surrounding education payrolls.
- Term-time contracts and casual workers
- Multi-academy trust structures
- Multiple job roles
- Educational sector compliance requirements
- Teachers’ Pensions
- Local Government Pensions
This is an area where many generalist payroll bureaus fall down, so finding a specialist provider who can handle these complexities is vital. We can help find the right fit.
For accountants and payroll bureaus
Businesses providing payroll services, such as accountants and payroll bureaus, face unique challenges in today’s highly competitive market.
Our specialised services include legacy system replacement to help select modern software solutions and customer migration management, drawing on our proven experience with 350+ successful migrations.
We also provide service portfolio reviews to maximise market opportunities and sales and marketing support to help increase revenue and client retention.
Payroll outsourcing for accountants
Many accountancy firms run payroll because clients have asked them to, not because it’s core to their business. Without specialist payroll expertise internally, this can become a distraction from your core accounting services. In worst-case scenarios, mistakes and poor service in payroll can damage the whole client relationship.
Outsourcing to a specialist payroll provider who will manage client payrolls allows you to focus on what you do best while still offering payroll to clients.
Ian can help accountancy practices find suitable partner providers, whether you need a strategic partner arrangement or a white label solution delivered under your brand.
With extensive knowledge of the payroll bureau market, Ian ensures you find the right fit for your practice.
