Payroll for Accountants & Bureaus

Add clients without adding headcount. Moorepay Payroll for accountants and bureaus lets you schedule repetitive payroll tasks once and run them across every client. It drafts payroll, sends reminders, issues payslips, releases payments, posts journals, submits pension contributions, and files FPS and EPS on time. Stay firmly in charge. Run any task early, cancel it, or check at a glance that it’s done. Automation speeds you up without ever taking the wheel. Every step it handles is one your team doesn’t, which means more payrolls per person, a lower cost per payslip, and a book that can grow without more hires.

Days of setup become minutes. Bulk-import a whole book at once, copy the setup from a similar client, and reuse your pay-item and workbook templates. Every build follows the same proven pattern, guided by a go-live checklist for pensions, employee migration and year-to-date figures. Because setup is standardised, anyone on your team can bring a client on the same way. And moving off tired desktop software becomes a quick, low-risk step, not a quarter-long project. You start billing each new client sooner and growing your book stops feeling like a risk.

No more chasing clients for data. They fill in secure workbooks or enter it straight into Moorepay Payroll, and every upload is validated on the spot. You see a clean summary of valid rows before anything reaches the pay run, and you set exactly what each client can see and do. Sending payroll for review closes the loop. Clients approve, or flag something’s off with a comment, so you get sign-off in writing before you file. Multi-level approvals mean nothing slips through. The data lands on time and correct, so your team goes straight to processing, and those hours go back into your clients.

The numbers are right before you even check. Moorepay Payroll works out tax, National Insurance, pensions and statutory pay to the penny, on a calculation engine tested against hundreds of HMRC tests. Mid-month starters, pro-rata salaries and backpay are handled automatically, and you can hover on the tax, NI or pension figures to see how it was worked out. Before you conclude a run, it also flags anything unusual, so you review the exceptions, not every line, backed by variance reports and a full audit log. Accuracy stops depending on manual checking: you correct less, field fewer client calls, and get it right first time, every time.

The filings your clients dread? All handled. Moorepay Payroll files FPS and EPS with HMRC, runs auto enrolment, and submits pension contributions to your providers. For construction and trades clients, it sets up CIS and files the monthly CIS300 return. Because compliance is built into the same flow that runs the pay, your team isn’t juggling separate tools or manual workarounds. You hit every deadline without the last-minute panic, carry less risk on every payroll, and put your firm’s name behind each one.

Payroll shouldn’t stop at payday. Moorepay Payroll posts your journals straight to most popular accounting software, so each client’s payroll costs land in their books without a re-keyed entry. Shape the journals to suit, with cost-centre drilldowns and rules by department, role or individual, and pay people with BACs files or a connected payment service. That turns payroll from a standalone task into a natural extension of the accounting service you already run, so the whole client relationship, payroll and books, stays with you. No exports, no uploads, no month-end reconciliation scramble, just clean figures flowing from pay run to ledger. And the more of a client’s finances that live in one place, the harder your service is to replace.

See every client at a glance. One client list shows status, tags and who’s assigned. Role-based access keeps the right people on the right clients, and a bureau dashboard shows activity, starters, leavers and workload across the book. Every client has a clear owner, and cover is built into the roles, so an absence or a resignation never stalls a payroll. Report packs let you give each client exactly the reports they need. You keep full control as you grow and never lose sight of a single client.
