Frequently Asked Questions

What is managed payroll?

Managed payroll involves outsourcing responsibility for payroll-related matters to a third party instead of completing the work in-house. This method is highly popular amongst businesses looking to manage payroll more efficiently, making it easier for them to comply with regulations, save resources and control costs.

Payroll management requires the completion of numerous tasks related to the payment of employees. Examples that come to mind include calculating wages, tax deductions and benefits, producing payslips and ensuring regulatory compliance. Many businesses lack the resources or in-house expertise to manage these responsibilities by themselves, leading them to work with an external provider instead.

How does a payroll service work?

If you choose to instruct us to manage payroll on your behalf, our accountants will get to work understanding the challenges you’re currently facing. From there, we take ownership of your payroll in whichever way you see fit, offering the right solutions in the process.

By enlisting our payroll experts, you’ll enjoy a more streamlined payroll service at a fraction of the time and cost you’re likely to have incurred managing payroll in-house. At the same time, you will continue to retain complete control of the process without having to deal with any of the hassle or stress.

What is the difference between HR and payroll?

Although human resources (HR) and payroll share some similarities, there are important distinctions to be made between the two. Whilst HR is mainly focused around employee relations (for example recruiting, training and dispute resolution), payroll is strictly concerned with the financial compensation of employees.

This is not to say that HR and payroll are entirely separated from one another. Salary increases, leave of absence and bonuses are just some of the areas that are likely to involve both disciplines, driving cooperation between the two.

How can managed payroll services help my small business?

Small businesses are faced with the challenge of achieving commercial growth whilst making the most of precious resources. Completing even the most fundamental tasks necessary for the day-to-day operation of the business – of which payroll is one of the most important – can often be time-consuming and costly. Things become even more complicated without the right knowledge and expertise at your disposal, paving the way for mistakes and inefficiencies to emerge.

Managed payroll can be an attractive solution for small businesses looking to avoid these pitfalls. With a qualified expert taking charge of your payroll, you’ll be able to shift your attention away from administrative tasks and focus on the areas that matter to you. In practice, that means you’ll enjoy better value for less time and money.

How much does the service cost?

Boughton Accountancy designs payroll management to be flexible and affordable, so we focus our pricing around your specific needs. We steer clear of a one-size-fits-all approach, meaning the price you pay is reflective of what you require. Contact a member of our team to request a quote that’s right for you.
