Sound familiar?
Filing payroll shouldn't be this stressful.
Most UK directors we speak to tell us the same story. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
Auto-enrolment adds another layer.
Pension contributions, opt-outs, re-enrolment every 3 years — the admin alone takes hours per month.
RTI failures cost you automatically.
Late RTI = £100 penalty per month of delay. The rules don't care whether you were busy — they fine by the calendar.

Common questions
FAQs about Payroll Services
Still not sure? Email a chartered accountant directly — we reply the same working day.
Do I need a phone call to get started?
No. Fill the Get a Quote form and we will reply within a working day with a fixed price.
Are you ICAEW Chartered Accountants?
Yes. Ballards Online is led by ICAEW-chartered accountants with over 20 years of UK tax and compliance experience.
What if I missed a filing deadline?
We can still help — late filings attract automatic penalties from Companies House, but we will minimise additional costs and file quickly.
Is my company dormant?
If you have had no significant accounting transactions during the year, your company is dormant. You still have to file dormant accounts annually.
Which bookkeeping software do you support?
Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent. We can migrate you from a spreadsheet if needed.
Can you do my payroll?
Yes — RTI payroll from £15 per employee per month, including auto-enrolment, payslips, P60s and year-end returns.
