Sound familiar?
Auto enrolment set up years ago and quietly ignored since?
It is a common situation for small Barnstaple employers. The original staging date was dealt with, a pension scheme was chosen, and the assumption has been that it sorts itself out from there. It does not. Eligibility must be reassessed every pay cycle, contribution records must be accurate, and re-enrolment obligations come around every three years. Left unattended, the gaps accumulate. It is all correctable — but the longer it sits, the more there is to unpick.
- Auto enrolment obligations not reviewed since the original staging date
- Worker eligibility never reassessed — some employees may be wrongly excluded
- Re-enrolment deadline missed or approaching with no plan in place
What compliant looks like
Eligibility assessed correctly every pay period. Contributions calculated, deducted and submitted on time. Re-enrolment handled before the deadline, not after. Your Declaration of Compliance filed with The Pensions Regulator so there is a clear record of duties met.
- Eligibility re-assessed every payroll run — no workers missed or wrongly excluded
- Contributions calculated accurately and submitted — no gaps for HMRC or TPR to query
- Re-enrolment managed before the deadline — Declaration of Compliance filed on time
- One fixed monthly cost covering payroll and pension admin — no surprises

What your monthly fee covers
Payroll, auto enrolment and the ongoing compliance obligations that come with employing people — handled as a matter of course for one fixed monthly fee.
Payroll and RTI Submissions
Monthly payroll run for employees and directors, with Real Time Information submissions to HMRC on time, every time. Payslips issued, records maintained, and any mid-month changes — new starters, leavers, salary adjustments — dealt with without disruption.
Monthly, fixed feeAuto Enrolment and Pension Admin
Worker eligibility assessed every pay period against the current thresholds. Pension contributions calculated and submitted to your chosen provider. Re-enrolment managed when it falls due, with your Declaration of Compliance filed with The Pensions Regulator. You do not need to remember the dates — that is the point.
Ongoing compliance handledYear-End Accounts and Corporation Tax
Annual accounts prepared and filed with Companies House, corporation tax return submitted to HMRC. With clean payroll and pension records running throughout the year, the year-end process is straightforward rather than a scramble.
No extras, no surprisesClients across Barnstaple and beyond

Why Barnstaple employers choose Swift
There are other payroll providers and accountants. Here is what matters about working with one who handles your auto enrolment as part of a joined-up service, not a bolt-on.
Chartered accountant, not a bureau
Kieran is an ICAEW chartered accountant — not a payroll processing bureau that files submissions and answers no other questions. When your staging date records are queried or a new employee’s eligibility is unclear, the person who understands your accounts is the same person handling your pension compliance. That matters when the questions get complicated.
Questions answered the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not passed to a junior — answered. If you need to know whether a new member of staff should be enrolled or when your next re-enrolment date falls, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move. No per-submission charges, no penalty-chasing fees, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. Payroll, pension admin and your accounting — one number, agreed at the start, unchanged from month to month.
Up and running in four steps
From first contact to your payroll and pension obligations being handled takes about a week. There is very little for you to do after the initial call.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no form letter.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your current payroll setup, your pension provider, how many employees you have, and where the gaps are. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what it costs, and what happens next.
We handle the migration
Your payroll records are transferred, your pension scheme is connected, and your compliance history is reviewed. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed — the setup is handled on our side.
Ongoing — nothing is missed
Payroll runs on time every month, pension submissions are made, eligibility is assessed as a matter of course, and re-enrolment is managed when it falls due. The Pensions Regulator is satisfied, your records are clean, and employer compliance is no longer something you have to think about.
“One of the friendliest accounting companies I’ve ever spoken to. I was fairly stressed about all of the big terms HMRC use, but Kieran explained everything in the best possible way, told me the price they’d charge after 5 minutes of speaking.”
