Payroll Services
Running payroll accurately and on time is non-negotiable — your staff expect to be paid correctly, and HMRC expects to be told about it in real time. Accuprime takes payroll off your hands entirely: PAYE, RTI submissions, payslips, pension auto-enrolment and full year-end reporting. We support employers across Reigate, Surrey, London and the wider UK.
Why outsource payroll?
Payroll is deceptively complex and heavily regulated. Tax codes change, statutory payments need calculating, pension duties apply, and every pay run has to be reported to HMRC under Real Time Information. Mistakes cause penalties, unhappy employees and wasted hours. By outsourcing to Accuprime you get correct, on-time payroll without the administrative burden — and a knowledgeable team to answer questions when they arise.
Because we can also handle your bookkeeping and VAT returns, payroll figures flow straight into your wider accounts, keeping everything consistent and reducing duplicated effort.
There is also a real compliance dimension. Late or incorrect RTI submissions can trigger HMRC penalties, and auto-enrolment failures can attract fines from The Pensions Regulator. Employment rules — minimum wage rates, statutory pay entitlements and tax-code changes — shift regularly, and keeping up with them is a job in itself. Handing payroll to a dedicated provider means these obligations are monitored on your behalf, so you are not exposed to avoidable risk.
What our payroll service includes
- Pay calculation — gross-to-net for every employee, including overtime, bonuses and adjustments.
- PAYE and National Insurance — accurate deduction of income tax and NI under the correct tax codes.
- RTI submissions — Full Payment Submissions and Employer Payment Summaries filed with HMRC on or before each payday.
- Payslips — clear, compliant payslips produced and distributed to your staff each period.
- Statutory payments — calculating SSP, SMP, SPP and other statutory pay correctly.
- Pension auto-enrolment — assessing employees, enrolling those eligible, and managing contributions and re-enrolment.
- Year-end and leaver reporting — P60s at year end, P45s for leavers and P11Ds for benefits where required.
Understanding the payroll jargon
Payroll comes with a lot of acronyms. Here is what the key terms mean:
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| PAYE | Pay As You Earn — the system for deducting tax and NI from wages |
| RTI | Real Time Information — reporting pay to HMRC at each pay run |
| P60 | Year-end summary of an employee's total pay and deductions |
| P45 | Document given to an employee when they leave |
| P11D | Report of taxable benefits in kind provided to employees |
Our payroll process
Each pay period you send us any changes — new starters, leavers, hours, bonuses — and we do the rest: calculate pay, produce payslips, file the RTI submission with HMRC, and tell you exactly what to pay your staff and HMRC. We track auto-enrolment assessments and pension uploads, and we keep you informed of deadlines well in advance. At year end we handle P60s, and we manage P45s and P11Ds as and when needed.
Payroll software
We work with leading payroll software including BrightPay and other established packages, choosing the right tool for your business. If you already run payroll on a particular system we can usually take it over mid-year, transferring year-to-date figures and pension settings cleanly. If you are weighing up your options, our comparison of BrightPay alternatives is a useful read. As HMRC reporting continues to digitise — see our Making Tax Digital page — our processes keep you compliant as the rules evolve. Always check GOV.UK for the latest payroll and PAYE requirements.
Who our payroll service is for
We support employers of all sizes: one-person limited companies paying a director's salary, growing small businesses taking on their first employees, and established companies with established teams. Whether you run payroll weekly, fortnightly or monthly, we scale the service to fit.
How our fees work
Payroll fees are based on headcount and how often you pay staff, plus any add-ons such as auto-enrolment administration. We give a clear, fixed price per pay run so costs are easy to budget, and there are no surprises. Combining payroll with bookkeeping and year-end accounts typically offers the best overall value.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RTI in payroll? ▼
RTI stands for Real Time Information. It is the system through which employers report pay, tax and National Insurance to HMRC every time they pay employees, rather than once a year. Each pay run requires a Full Payment Submission, and an Employer Payment Summary may also be needed. We handle all RTI submissions on your behalf, on or before payday, to keep you compliant.
How much does outsourced payroll cost? ▼
Payroll fees usually depend on how many employees you have and how often you run payroll (weekly, fortnightly or monthly), plus extras such as pension auto-enrolment administration. We provide a clear fixed price per pay run after understanding your needs, so the cost is predictable. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your headcount and frequency.
What is pension auto-enrolment? ▼
Auto-enrolment is the legal duty for employers to automatically enrol eligible staff into a workplace pension and contribute towards it. It involves assessing each employee, enrolling those who qualify, deducting and paying contributions, and completing a declaration of compliance with The Pensions Regulator. We manage these duties within your payroll so you meet your obligations correctly.
What payroll forms do I need to give employees? ▼
Employees receive a payslip each pay period showing gross pay, deductions and net pay. At the end of the tax year they get a P60 summarising the year. When someone leaves you must issue a P45. If you provide taxable benefits such as a company car, a P11D may be required. We produce and distribute all of these as part of our service.
Can you take over payroll from my current provider or software? ▼
Yes. We work with leading payroll software including BrightPay and others, so we can take over an existing setup or migrate you to a more suitable package. We handle the transfer of year-to-date figures, employee records and pension settings so the switch is seamless and nothing is lost mid-year.
