The sort of errors we inherit
Is payroll a pain for you? We have many clients who came to us with existing problems, some of which they weren't even aware they had! Some of them very costly. Check over the list below to see what problems we have solved for our new clients over the last year

Non-filing penalties for 5 payrolls in a group | Brought all PAYE schemes up to date and successfully appealed all penalties |
