Accurate, on-time, fully compliant payroll, handled for you, so you can get on with running the business.
Bevan Buckland provides complete payroll services packages designed to streamline your payroll processes and enhance your business efficiency. You can expect meticulous payroll processing and secure electronic payslip delivery. Our team of accountants at our Swansea office will ensure that your payroll is handled confidently, accurately, and always on time.
Payroll is one job you really can’t get wrong
Pay your people late or incorrectly, even once, and trust takes a knock. Miss an HMRC deadline and the penalties follow. Add auto-enrolment pensions, changing tax codes, statutory pay, and a stream of legislation, and payroll quietly becomes one of the most time-consuming and risky jobs in the business.
Outsourcing your payroll takes that weight off your shoulders. As Wales’ largest independent chartered accountancy firm, we provide accurate, fully compliant payroll services for businesses across the UK, processed on time, every time, with all the HMRC reporting handled for you.
Because we’re chartered accountants, your payroll doesn’t sit in a silo. It connects with your tax, pensions, and wider bookkeeping, and you get a dedicated contact who knows your business. Your sensitive employee data is protected by Cyber Essentials Plus certification, the government-backed security standard, which most standalone payroll providers can’t offer.
Here’s what we handle.
What our payroll services include
We can run all of your payroll or just the parts you’d rather not, and we tailor the service to how you operate, whether you pay weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
Full payroll processing and RTI
We calculate gross pay, tax, National Insurance, pensions, student loan repayments, and any other deductions, then submit your Real Time Information returns to HMRC on or before each payday, exactly as the rules require. Accurate, on-time submissions mean no late-filing penalties and no stress.
Payslips, starters, leavers, and changes
Your employees receive clear, secure payslips each pay run, and we handle new starters, leavers (including P45s), and any changes to pay or circumstances. Everything is processed promptly and recorded correctly.
Auto-enrolment pension duties
Workplace pensions are an ongoing legal responsibility, not a one-off task. We assess your employees, calculate and record contributions, manage opt-ins and opt-outs, and keep you compliant with your duties under The Pensions Regulator, including re-enrolment and declarations of compliance.
Statutory pay and deductions
Statutory sick pay, maternity, paternity, and other statutory payments are calculated correctly and applied to the right pay runs, so your people receive what they’re entitled to and your records stay accurate.
Payroll year-end and reporting
We take care of your payroll year-end, including P60s for your employees, and prepare benefit reporting such as P11D and P11D(b) where needed. You also receive clear payroll reports each period, which feed straight into your management information.
CIS and sector-specific payroll
If you work in construction, we handle Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) deductions and returns alongside your payroll. Whatever your sector, we make sure the right rules are applied, including National Minimum and National Living Wage compliance.
Because every business runs differently, none of this is one-size-fits-all. We shape the service around your size, your pay cycle, and how involved you want to be.
Who our payroll services are for
Why choose Bevan Buckland
There are plenty of payroll providers, and many will quote a low monthly fee. Far fewer combine that with chartered regulation, serious data security, and a service that joins up with your tax and accounts. Here’s what sets us apart.
A dedicated contact who knows your business. One named person who understands your payroll and is only a phone call or email away, not a ticket number in a queue. They draw on our wider team whenever specialist input is needed.
Your employees’ data, properly protected. Payroll means handling sensitive personal and financial information. We hold Cyber Essentials Plus certification, the government-backed cyber security standard, so that data is genuinely secure. Most payroll bureaus can’t say the same.
Chartered, regulated, and accountable. We’re ICAEW Chartered Accountants with 125 years behind us, supporting Welsh employers since the 1890s. Your payroll is in qualified, regulated hands.
Joined-up with tax and pensions. Because we’re a full-service firm, your payroll connects with your cloud accounting, tax, and pension duties, so nothing falls through the gaps and you don’t have to coordinate separate providers.
Fixed fees, with no clock-watching. We agree your fee upfront, with no hidden costs, and your everyday questions are included at no extra charge. You’ll never hesitate to pick up the phone.
A free, no-obligation first meeting. We’ll understand how you operate, recommend the right level of support, and let you decide whether we’re the right fit before you commit to anything.
We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re upfront about that. When getting payroll wrong means upset staff and HMRC penalties, accuracy and accountability are worth paying for.

What payroll costs
Payroll costs depend on how many employees you have, how often you pay them, and how much you’d like us to handle, which is why a single headline price rarely reflects reality. We agree a fixed fee upfront, with no hidden costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying and what’s included. Most clients prefer a regular monthly arrangement that covers everything from processing to RTI and year-end. We’ll recommend the right level of support at your first meeting and explain the fee clearly, so there are no surprises.
Payroll Services FAQs
A payroll service takes care of paying your employees correctly and meeting your obligations to HMRC. That typically means calculating pay, tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, and other deductions, producing payslips, submitting Real Time Information returns to HMRC each payday, and handling starters, leavers, and changes. It also covers ongoing duties like auto-enrolment pensions, statutory payments, and payroll year-end. With us, it’s joined up with your tax and accounts too, so the whole picture connects rather than sitting in separate boxes.
For many businesses, yes. Running payroll in-house means buying software, keeping up with constant legislative changes, and finding cover for holidays and sickness, all while risking penalties if something is late or wrong. Outsourcing gives you accuracy, compliance, and a qualified team for a predictable fixed fee, usually for less than the true cost of doing it yourself. It also frees up your time for running the business. The free first meeting is a no-pressure way to decide whether it makes sense for you.
RTI stands for Real Time Information. It’s the system through which employers must report payroll details to HMRC every time they pay employees, on or before payday. It covers pay, tax, National Insurance, and deductions. RTI matters because late or inaccurate submissions can trigger HMRC penalties, and because it keeps employees’ tax records up to date. When we run your payroll, we handle all RTI reporting accurately and on time, so you don’t have to think about deadlines.
Yes. Workplace pension auto-enrolment is an ongoing legal duty, not a one-off setup. We assess your workforce each pay period, calculate and record contributions, manage opt-ins and opt-outs, handle re-enrolment every three years, and complete the declarations of compliance The Pensions Regulator requires. It’s an area where it’s easy to slip up, so having it managed as part of your payroll gives you genuine peace of mind that your duties are being met correctly.
Costs depend on the number of employees, the pay frequency, and how much you want us to handle, so prices vary. We work to fixed fees agreed upfront, with no hidden costs, so you always know what you’re paying. Some providers price per payslip, others per month; we’ll recommend the clearest structure for your situation. A small monthly payroll costs considerably less than a large weekly one, which is why we tailor the fee rather than quoting a flat rate. We’re happy to give you a personalised quote after a short chat.
Missing an RTI submission deadline can lead to HMRC penalties, and repeated lateness increases them, so timeliness genuinely matters. The simplest way to avoid this is to have payroll managed by a team that tracks every deadline for you. When we run your payroll, staying on schedule is our responsibility, not yours. We build in the time to process each pay run accurately and submit on time, every time, so deadlines stop being something you have to worry about.
Yes, and we take this seriously. Payroll involves highly sensitive personal and financial data, so we hold Cyber Essentials Plus certification, the government-backed cyber security standard, and use secure systems to process and store information. As ICAEW Chartered Accountants we’re also bound by strict professional and confidentiality obligations. It’s a level of protection that goes beyond what many standalone payroll providers offer, which matters when you’re trusting someone with your team’s personal details.
Yes. If you operate in construction, we handle Construction Industry Scheme deductions and the associated monthly returns to HMRC alongside your payroll. CIS has its own rules for verifying subcontractors and applying the correct deduction rates, and getting it wrong can be costly. Because we deal with it regularly, we make sure it’s handled correctly and on time, so your subcontractor payments and HMRC reporting stay compliant.
Yes. Your employees receive clear payslips for every pay run, typically as secure digital payslips, and we provide P60s at year-end summarising their pay and deductions. Where benefits in kind are involved, we also prepare the relevant P11D reporting. Everything your employees need for their own records and tax affairs is produced accurately and on time, which reduces queries and keeps your team confident that their pay is being handled properly.
