About

With more than 30 years’ experience in the finance sector, including over 20 years in accountancy practice, I have a strong background in payroll, bookkeeping and compliance. During this time, I gained my Level 4 AAT qualification with the Association of Accounting Technicians.

I am CIPP trained through the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals and spent 15 years as Payroll Manager within an accountancy practice. I later moved into Local Government payroll before working in the Direct Payment department as a Monitoring Officer.

I have managed weekly, fortnightly and monthly payrolls for around 100 businesses of varying sizes, from sole directors to companies with multiple employees. My end-to-end payroll service includes registering employers with HMRC, applying for PAYE schemes, setting up payroll records, adding employees, processing absences and holiday pay, issuing P45s for leavers, and providing year-end P60s for staff.

I can also manage workplace pension requirements, including notifying The Pensions Regulator of your employer status, setting up workplace pension schemes, enrolling employees and processing pension contributions each pay period.

Payroll and Direct Payments

I have extensive experience in payroll management, HMRC compliance and direct payment monitoring, including five years’ experience working with Local Government regulations and compliance requirements.

I understand the records that need to be kept, how they should be presented for monitoring purposes, and the responsibilities involved when employing personal assistants and managing their wages.

I can support you with record keeping, help ensure your paperwork is clear and well organised, and assist with submitting information to your local authority for monitoring.

If you receive a direct payment, you may need to provide regular reports to your local authority showing how the funding has been used. As your payroll provider, I maintain accurate, up-to-date payroll records that can be supplied to the council when required for monitoring purposes.

I am an authorised HMRC agent.
I am an AAT-qualified bookkeeper.
I am DBS checked through the Disclosure and Barring Service.
I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
I am licensed with AAT and supervised by them for Anti-Money Laundering compliance.
I am fully insured, and all software and processes are GDPR compliant.
