Does this sound familiar?
The stress of getting it right
Even when you're just paying yourself, every payment has to be correct to the penny or you could find yourself facing penalties from HMRC
Complicated deductions
Paying yourself isn't as simple as transferring money into your personal bank account. It means calculating the correct amount of tax, pension contributions, and other payroll deductions.
More systems, more confusion
Keeping payroll info in different places - like spreadsheets, HR apps, and post-it notes - could lead to confusion and costly errors, especially when your payroll info is not linked to your accounts.
