Payroll & PAYE Bureau Service
Your payroll, handled correctly every time.
Running payroll in-house takes time most small business owners do not have, and RTI errors or missed PAYE deadlines attract HMRC attention faster than almost anything else. Supreme Consulting runs your full payroll bureau on a fixed monthly fee, with qualified support and same-day replies when questions arise.
- RTI submissions filed accurately on or before every pay date
- PAYE codes and tax calculations checked before they cause downstream problems
- CIS deductions correctly calculated and subcontractor statements issued on time
- Payroll queries answered the same working day you raise them
No long-term contract. If the service does not suit you after three months, you leave with your payroll records in order and nothing further owed.

Payroll taking longer than it ever should?
For most small businesses, payroll is one of those tasks that feels like it ought to take twenty minutes and somehow swallows the afternoon. RTI deadlines creep up, PAYE codes change without notice, and CIS deductions sit in a category of their own. When something goes wrong, HMRC tends to notice fairly quickly.
- RTI submissions filed late or incorrectly, attracting HMRC penalty notices
- PAYE underpayments accumulating unnoticed until they surface at year-end
- CIS deductions calculated incorrectly, causing disputes with subcontractors
What a properly run payroll looks like
When payroll is handled by people who run it every day, it stops being a source of anxiety. Every run is filed on time, every employee receives the correct payslip, and HMRC queries land with us rather than interrupting your day.
- RTI filed accurately on or before every pay date, without exception
- PAYE reconciled each month so there are no year-end surprises waiting
- CIS deductions and subcontractor statements handled correctly each period
- Fixed monthly fee so you know the cost whether it is a simple month or a complicated one

Everything your payroll bureau covers
A complete payroll service built around the way small businesses and contractors actually operate, with no hidden extras when the scope is agreed.
Full PAYE Payroll Bureau
Every pay run processed accurately, with payslips issued to employees and RTI submissions filed with HMRC on or before the payment date. PAYE codes are monitored and applied correctly, so tax calculations do not drift out of step with what HMRC expects. Your PAYE liability is clear each month before it falls due.
Included as standardCIS Payroll for Contractors
Construction Industry Scheme payroll handled end to end, from verifying subcontractors with HMRC to calculating the correct deduction rate and issuing monthly payment and deduction statements. CIS returns are filed on time each month, and subcontractor statements go out without you chasing them. If you operate as both a contractor and a subcontractor, that is managed too.
CIS specialist supportYear-End Payroll and P60s
At the end of each tax year, all employee P60s are produced and issued, and the full-payment submission history is reconciled before the deadline. Any discrepancies between payroll records and your PAYE account are identified and resolved before they become HMRC correspondence. Your payroll year closes cleanly, ready for the new one.
Annual compliance coveredClients who wanted fewer things to worry about
Sole traders, limited companies, and contractors who handed payroll over and found it considerably less of a problem than it had been.

What makes the difference in practice
There are plenty of payroll providers. These are the things that actually matter when you are relying on someone else to get it right each month.
Over 20 years running payrolls
Supreme Consulting has been handling payroll for small businesses and contractors since 2005. RTI, auto-enrolment, CIS, off-payroll working rules — these are not things we learn about when a client asks. You will not be the one explaining how your pay run works before getting a useful answer.
CIS payroll handled as standard
CIS payroll sits alongside PAYE in our everyday work, not as an add-on that gets passed to someone else. Contractor verification, deduction rates, monthly returns, and subcontractor statements are all covered within the service. If your business straddles both contractor and subcontractor roles, that is managed without you needing to coordinate it.
Fixed monthly fee, no surprises
Payroll pricing is agreed upfront based on your headcount and pay frequency. If a month runs smoothly or a month runs complicated, the fee does not change. You know what you are paying before the invoice arrives, which is how it should work.
Up and running in four steps
Switching payroll provider takes less effort than most people expect. We handle the transition and HMRC notification so you do not have to.
A short discovery call
We start with a no-obligation conversation to understand your current payroll setup, pay frequency, employee count, and whether CIS applies. You do not need to prepare anything — just a rough picture of where things stand is enough.
A clear fixed-fee proposal
You receive a written proposal with a fixed monthly figure covering the full scope of your payroll bureau. Everything included is listed clearly, so there are no questions about what happens if something changes.
We take over the payroll
We notify HMRC that we are acting as your payroll agent, collect the payroll data from your previous provider, and set everything up in readiness for your next pay run. Your employees notice nothing different except that their payslips keep arriving on time.
Payroll runs itself
Each pay period, you send us the relevant hours or salary changes, and we handle everything from calculation through to RTI submission and payslip distribution. Payroll stops being something you need to think about, which is rather the point.
“I’m so grateful for the help received with my small cleaning business. Stuart holds your hand and advises throughout!”
Things people usually want to know
Do you handle CIS payroll as well as standard PAYE?
Yes. CIS payroll is part of our standard payroll bureau service, not a bolt-on. We verify subcontractors with HMRC, apply the correct deduction rate, issue monthly payment and deduction statements, and file the CIS monthly return. If your business operates as both contractor and subcontractor under CIS, we manage the offset position as well.
What does payroll bureau pricing include, and how is it calculated?
Pricing is fixed monthly and based on your headcount and pay frequency. The fee covers payroll processing, RTI submissions, payslip distribution, and PAYE administration throughout the year, plus P60 production at year-end. CIS returns and subcontractor statements are included if CIS applies. There are no additional charges for a straightforward month or a slightly more involved one — the scope is agreed before you start.
My payroll records are not particularly tidy. Is that a problem when switching?
It is fairly common. Most businesses that come to us have payroll history in some state of disarray — a mix of software exports, spreadsheets, or a previous provider who was not especially organised about handover. We work through the records, reconcile the year-to-date figures, and get everything into order before the next live pay run. There may be a one-off catch-up fee if the records need significant remedial work, but that will be scoped and agreed with you before any work begins.
Is there a minimum contract or notice period if I want to leave?
No minimum contract. If you decide the service is not right for you, we ask for one month’s notice so the transition can be handled tidily. You leave with your full payroll records, RTI history, and HMRC correspondence up to date. Nothing is withheld and nothing is owed beyond the final month’s fee.
Can you manage auto-enrolment pension contributions as part of the payroll service?
Yes. We handle auto-enrolment assessment each pay period, calculate employee and employer pension contributions, and submit the required data to your pension provider. If you do not yet have a workplace pension scheme in place, we can advise on suitable providers and assist with the declaration of compliance. Auto-enrolment re-enrolment cycles are tracked and managed so the obligation does not catch you out.
How much notice do I need to give you before each pay run?
For most clients, two to three working days ahead of the pay date is sufficient. We will agree a payroll timetable with you at the start of the engagement that fits your pay frequency and the way your business runs. If something changes in a given month — a new starter, a leaver, or a change in hours — just send the information across and we will incorporate it before the run is processed.
