Running a business in London means juggling many responsibilities—from managing cash flow to staying on top of tax obligations. Payroll is one of the most important, yet time-consuming tasks. Whether you have one employee or fifty, accurate payroll is vital for legal compliance, employee satisfaction, and business success. 

At East London Accountants, we help businesses of all sizes streamline their payroll processes with tailored, reliable services. Here’s why investing in professional payroll support is a smart decision. 

1. Stay Compliant with UK Payroll Laws 

UK payroll legislation is complex and regularly updated. Employers must: 

• Register with HMRC as an employer 
• Calculate PAYE (Pay As You Earn) tax and National Insurance 
• Submit Real Time Information (RTI) reports on or before each payday 
• Provide payslips and P60s to employees 
• Enrol eligible employees into a workplace pension scheme 

Mistakes can result in penalties and unhappy staff. Our payroll specialists ensure your business stays compliant and up to date. 

2. Save Time and Reduce Admin 

Processing payroll manually can take hours each month—especially if your workforce changes regularly. We automate tasks like: 

• Calculating pay, tax, NI, and pension deductions 
• Generating payslips and payment summaries 
• Submitting RTI reports to HMRC 
• Handling statutory payments (sick pay, maternity pay, etc.) 

This frees up time for you to focus on running and growing your business. 

3. Avoid Costly Errors 

Incorrect payroll can lead to: 

• Overpayments or underpayments 
• HMRC fines or investigations 
• Disgruntled employees 

With expert handling, we ensure accurate calculations and prompt reporting—minimising risk and keeping your team happy. 

4. Manage Staff Benefits and Deductions 

Payroll isn’t just about wages. We also handle: 

• Bonuses and commissions 
• Pensions and auto-enrolment 
• Holiday pay and sick pay 
• Student loan repayments 
• Attachments of earnings (court orders) 

We tailor the payroll service to suit your staff structure and business policies. 

5. Scale Easily as You Grow 

Whether you’re hiring your first employee or expanding rapidly, we offer scalable payroll solutions. You’ll never have to worry about: 

• Hiring a full-time payroll admin 
• Upgrading payroll software 
• Managing complex tax codes or employee types 

Our service grows with your business. 

6. Secure, Cloud-Based Access 

We use secure cloud payroll systems so you can: 

• Access reports and payslips from anywhere 
• Approve payroll runs remotely 
• Store records safely for HMRC audits 

It’s convenient, paperless, and easy to manage.
