Birmingham is the largest business centre outside London, with a broad economy that runs from long-established manufacturing and engineering firms to fast-growing professional services and a huge base of small and medium-sized companies. Every one of them with staff on the books has a payroll to run, and we run that payroll for businesses right across the city.
The employers we run payroll for in Birmingham
The West Midlands has an industrial history few places can match, and much of it is still here. We see engineering workshops, metalworking and manufacturing firms across the city and out towards the Black Country in Wolverhampton, alongside a growing cluster of professional and financial services in and around Colmore Row and the city centre. Add the enormous SME base, the shops, salons, care providers, tradespeople and agencies in Solihull, Coventry and the surrounding towns, and you have a payroll picture that is anything but uniform.
That variety is exactly why payroll trips people up. A manufacturer paying shift premiums and overtime has different needs from a professional firm on monthly salaries, and a care provider juggling weekly rotas has different needs again. We handle all of it, so whatever your setup, your pay run is calculated correctly the first time.
How remote payroll works for Birmingham
We are based in Pontypridd, South Wales, and we look after Birmingham businesses wherever they are. That is the honest position, and in practice it changes nothing about the service. Modern payroll is a digital process from start to finish. You send us hours, changes and new starters however suits you, we process the run, and we file your Real Time Information (RTI) submissions online with HMRC on or before payday, exactly as the rules require.
We produce payslips, P45s, P60s and reports and send them to you securely each pay period, and you get a named contact who knows your account rather than a call centre queue. Distance simply is not a factor when the whole job is run online. What matters is that your people are paid the right amount on the right day, and that the job is off your desk.
What we handle
We run the whole payroll function so you do not have to. That means processing weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly pay runs; calculating tax, National Insurance, student loans and pension deductions; filing RTI with HMRC; and producing clear, secure payslips for every employee. We manage starters and leavers, statutory sick, maternity and paternity pay, and holiday calculations.
We also handle auto-enrolment and your workplace pension, including assessing your workforce, making the right deductions and submitting to your pension provider. If you would rather hand the entire job over, our outsourced payroll service covers everything end to end. As a CIPP-member bureau, ICAEW-affiliated and registered with the ICO, we take the compliance and data-protection responsibility off your shoulders.
Transparent pricing and free switching
Our pricing is simple and easy to budget for. Payroll is a fixed £5 per employee, per month plus VAT, with no long tie-ins and no surprises. You can see how it works on our pricing page, and because the price is clear from the outset, you know what you are paying before you commit to anything.
Switching to us is free and straightforward. We take over from your current provider or in-house system, pick up your existing payroll data and continue your pay runs without a break, so your staff never notice a thing. There is no cost to move and no obligation to find out what it would cost. If you would like a clear, no-obligation quote, just get a quote and tell us how many people you pay and how often.
