Payroll taking longer than it should?
For most small business owners in Hythe, payroll starts as something manageable and quietly becomes a monthly drain. RTI deadlines, auto-enrolment obligations, CIS deductions, and the occasional HMRC query all add up. Getting it wrong is expensive; getting it right repeatedly is time-consuming. Neither option is a good use of your week.
- RTI submissions filed late or incorrectly, risking HMRC penalties
- CIS deductions calculated manually, leaving room for errors
- Pension auto-enrolment duties falling through the cracks each period
What a clean payroll looks like
Every submission filed on time. Every payslip accurate. Every CIS deduction and pension contribution handled without you having to think about it. That is the standard, and it is what you should expect from a payroll bureau.
- RTI submitted on time every period, with no late-filing penalties
- CIS deductions calculated correctly and returns filed to HMRC each month
- Auto-enrolment managed end to end, contributions processed without chasing
- Fixed monthly fee, no surprises when headcount changes slightly

The full payroll service, covered
From weekly wages to monthly salaries and CIS subcontractor payments, the bureau service covers the full picture so you can leave payroll to someone else.
PAYE Payroll and RTI Filing
Every pay period, payslips are produced and Real Time Information submissions are filed with HMRC before the deadline. Whether you pay weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, the schedule is managed for you. Staff receive accurate payslips on time, and your PAYE account stays current.
Included as standardCIS Payroll for Contractors
If you operate in construction and pay subcontractors, CIS deductions need to be calculated correctly and reported to HMRC each month. The bureau handles verification, deduction calculations, monthly CIS returns, and subcontractor statements so nothing is missed.
Construction and tradesAuto-Enrolment and Pension Contributions
Workplace pension obligations do not go away once the initial assessment is done. Ongoing duties, contribution processing, and re-enrolment cycles all need managing. This is handled as part of the payroll run, so you are not juggling a separate pension administration task every month.

Why Hythe businesses use us for payroll
There are plenty of accountants in Hampshire. Here is what makes the practical difference when payroll is involved.
Over 20 years running payrolls
Supreme Consulting has been processing payroll for small businesses since 2005. That is two decades of RTI submissions, HMRC correspondence, and CIS returns. Payroll queries that would send a less experienced practice to the guidance notes are handled from memory here.
Fixed monthly fee, no surprises
Payroll pricing is fixed by headcount and pay frequency, not by the hour. You know what you are paying before the first payslip is produced. If your headcount stays stable, your fee stays stable.
A reply within one working day
Payroll questions are often time-sensitive. A query about a leaver, a late starter, or an incorrect deduction needs an answer before payday, not three days after. Questions submitted to Stuart are answered within one working day, usually sooner.
Up and running in four steps
Switching payroll provider is straightforward when the process is managed for you. Most clients are fully set up within two weeks of their first conversation.
A short discovery call
A brief conversation to understand your pay schedule, headcount, whether CIS applies, and what your current setup looks like. No preparation needed on your end — just a willingness to talk through the basics.
A clear, fixed-fee proposal
You will receive a written proposal covering exactly what is included, the monthly fee, and the timeline for taking over. No ambiguous hourly estimates.
We handle the transfer
Payroll history and employee records are migrated across. If you are switching from another provider or from in-house software, the transition is managed so there is no break in payroll processing.
Payroll off your plate
Every pay period runs without you having to think about it. Payslips go out, RTI is filed, CIS returns are submitted, and pension contributions are processed. You will know when to approve and when to pay — nothing else is required from you.
“Stuart is a thorough efficient worker who produces good quality results at a reasonable price.”
Payroll questions, answered plainly
Do you handle CIS payroll as well as standard PAYE?
Yes. CIS payroll is a distinct process from standard PAYE, and the bureau covers both. Subcontractor verification, deduction calculations, monthly CIS returns to HMRC, and payment and deduction statements for your subcontractors are all included. If you operate in construction and are unsure whether you need CIS, that is worth discussing on the initial call.
What does the payroll service cost and what is included?
Pricing is fixed by the number of employees and your pay frequency. The fee covers payslip production, RTI filing, auto-enrolment administration, and the handling of starters, leavers, and any HMRC correspondence that arises. A written quote is provided before anything is agreed, so you know the number before committing.
We are mid-year and our books are a bit behind. Is that a problem?
Catching up part-way through the tax year is something the bureau handles regularly. Current payroll records will be reviewed, any discrepancies identified, and submissions brought up to date before taking over the ongoing processing. The catch-up work is scoped and quoted separately so you know what it will cost.
Is there a minimum contract or a notice period if we want to leave?
There is no long-term contract. If you decide the service is not right for you, payroll records are transferred to you or your new provider in good order, and nothing further is owed. The expectation is that you stay because the service works, not because leaving is difficult.
How does auto-enrolment work if we have already set up a pension scheme?
If a workplace pension scheme is already in place, the bureau integrates with it rather than replacing it. Contribution calculations are handled as part of the payroll run, and the pension provider receives the relevant data each period. Re-enrolment cycles, which occur every three years, are also managed so you do not have to track the deadline yourself.
Can you advise on the most tax-efficient way to structure director pay?
Yes. For owner-managed limited companies, the split between salary and dividends has a meaningful effect on the overall tax position each year. The optimal combination depends on your corporation tax liability, personal income, and pension contributions. This is reviewed annually and factored into the payroll setup rather than left as an afterthought.
Leave payroll to someone who does this every day.
