The Equinoxed process

Payroll that works seamlessly for you and your people.

We streamline the payroll process from setup through to payment, using the right systems to reduce administration, improve communication and keep everything connected. With employee and employer portals, holiday management, pension integration and visibility over HMRC liabilities, payroll becomes easier to manage and less likely to become another task on your list.

Step 1

PAYE & Pension Setup

With completion of PAYE registrations and pension schemes, we configure payroll software to ensure the right processes are in place for accurate, efficient payroll management and pension responsibilities are being met.

Step 2

Onboarding Your employees

Employee details and payroll information can be managed through the employee portal, reducing back-and-forth administration and giving your team access to the information they need.

Step 3

Managing Your employees

From holiday requests and tracking to changes in employee details and pay, the portal keeps communication between you and your team connected, while giving you greater visibility and control over your payroll.

Step 4

Paying Your employees

We manage the payroll cycle, including calculations, payslips, pension submissions and HMRC reporting, while keeping track of your payroll liabilities and key deadlines. Everything is connected, giving you confidence for you to pay your employees correctly and your payroll obligations are taken care of.

The Equinoxed Process

Before any pay run is processed, we want to understand whether your current setup is working in your favour, from the level of your director's salary to the way your subcontractors are verified. This groundwork is where the value lies, and it is the part a once-a-year accountant consistently overlooks.

Step 1

Discovery Call

We start by understanding how your business operates and how you pay people. We review your existing software and check the areas often left unexamined, including whether your remuneration is structured efficiently and whether anyone treated as self-employed would withstand HMRC scrutiny

Step 2

Setup & Transition

Whether you are moving from another accountant or managing payroll yourself, we handle the transition in full, registering you correctly with HMRC, establishing the right software and verifying your subcontractors.

Step 3

Monthly Payroll

We process payroll, submit your RTI and issue payslips. For CIS, we calculate deductions, file the monthly return and provide subcontractor statements, so you always know what is owed and when.

Step 4

Ongoing Communication

This is where our approach differs most. We remain in contact throughout the year, not only at deadlines. When a change affects your payroll, from a revised threshold to a new employee, you are told in advance and given time to act.

More than payroll. More time for your business.

We take care of payroll, workplace pensions and CIS, using connected systems to streamline the process and reduce the administration that comes with managing your people. From employee onboarding and holiday tracking to pension submissions and HMRC reporting, we keep everything organised so you can spend less time managing payroll and more time running your business.

PAYROLL
<

Accurate, compliant and taken care of.

From weekly and monthly payroll to new starters, leavers, salary changes and statutory payments, we manage your payroll accurately and in line with HMRC requirements.

Using BrightPay, your payroll is processed and reported to HMRC, with payslips and relevant documents available through the employee portal, giving your team easy access to their information.

Payroll is also an important part of your wider financial picture. As your team grows or remuneration changes, we consider the impact on profitability, cash flow and your overall business plans, helping everything work seamlessly together.

‍Payroll should be one less thing on your mind.

WORKPLACE PENSIONS
<

Supporting your responsibilities as an employer.

Workplace pensions are an important part of employing people and come with ongoing responsibilities for employers.

We support the administration of workplace pension contributions and payroll deductions, working alongside pension providers where applicable.

From new starters and automatic enrolment considerations to ongoing contribution calculations and payroll reporting, we help keep everything organised and running seamlessly alongside your payroll and wider accounting.

‍The right process. The right deductions. The right information.

CIS
<

Construction Industry Scheme, without the complexity.

If your business operates within the construction industry, CIS brings additional reporting and deduction requirements for payments made to subcontractors.

We can support the CIS process, including subcontractor verification, calculating the correct deductions and preparing the required monthly CIS reporting to HMRC.

Whether CIS is an established part of your business or you're taking on subcontractors for the first time, we'll help you understand the requirements and keep the process running consistently alongside your payroll and wider accounting.

‍CIS compliance, handled with the bigger picture in mind.

Migrate Accountants

Thinking of switching accountants? We make the process completely seamless. Our team handles the entire migration on your behalf, liaising with your previous accountant, transferring your records and getting everything configured so there's no disruption to your business. From your very first day as an Equinoxed client, you'll have the systems, the software and the expertise working together to support your business growth.
