Sound familiar?

Not sure if auto enrolment actually applies to you?

Most small employers in Exeter come to auto enrolment one of two ways: a letter from The Pensions Regulator that makes it suddenly urgent, or a payroll review that reveals obligations that should have been in place some time ago. Eligibility rules, contribution thresholds, staging dates and the three-yearly re-enrolment cycle all need to be correct. It is manageable when handled from the start — considerably less so once penalties are in play.

  • Unsure which employees qualify and when enrolment should have started
  • Staging dates or re-enrolment windows missed without anyone noticing
  • Fixed penalty notices from The Pensions Regulator sitting unaddressed

What compliant and current looks like

Eligibility assessed correctly, the right employees enrolled at the right time. Staging dates and re-enrolment windows tracked so deadlines are handled before they become enforcement notices. Declaration of compliance filed with TPR accurately and on time.

  • Eligibility assessed — the right employees enrolled from the right date
  • Staging dates and re-enrolment windows managed, not left to chance
  • TPR declaration of compliance filed correctly — no penalty exposure
  • A fixed monthly cost that covers ongoing pension admin alongside your payroll

Kieran at Swift is super! He helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.

What you get

What your monthly fee covers

Auto enrolment is not a one-off task. Enrolment, ongoing contributions, re-enrolment and TPR compliance all need to be managed continuously — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

Auto Enrolment Setup and Enrolment

Eligibility assessed, suitable pension provider selected or confirmed, and all eligible employees enrolled correctly from the right date. Employee communications are handled and your staging or re-enrolment date is confirmed with TPR. No guesswork about who should be in and who should not.

Handled from day one
02

TPR Compliance and Declarations

Your declaration of compliance is filed with The Pensions Regulator accurately and within the statutory deadline. Re-enrolment obligations every three years are tracked and managed — you will not miss a window. The paperwork that sits between you and a fixed penalty notice is handled.

Deadlines tracked and met
03

Payroll and Pension Administration

Auto enrolment runs alongside your monthly payroll — contribution calculations, employee deductions and employer contributions processed correctly every pay period. RTI submissions to HMRC are included. One fee, one point of contact, nothing falling between the gaps.

Fixed fee, no extras
What clients say

Small employers across Devon trust Swift

Sole traders taking on their first member of staff, growing limited companies and established Exeter businesses. Usually arriving with a compliance question that needed answering some time ago. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.

Worked Saturday Night to Avoid a Fine

“Being a self employed stone mason sadly paper work is not my strong suit. And after a late cancellation from my normal accountant I had to find help. With late notice I contacted swift accounting and book keeping. Kieran was the person assigned to me to help with my tax return and at the start of Jan not much time to file my return before potential fines incurred. He went above an beyond to help good communication through emails an working even on a Saturday night to complete my return. I cannot thank him enough he made the process super easy an relaxed I will 100% be using them again in the future. Thank you.”

Why Swift

Why Exeter employers choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what makes a difference when auto enrolment compliance needs to be right and on time.

🏦

Auto enrolment handled end to end

Setup, employee enrolment, ongoing contributions, re-enrolment every three years and TPR declarations — all of it is handled as part of the service. You will not find yourself responsible for the parts nobody mentioned at the start. Each obligation is tracked and managed before it becomes a deadline.

💬

Replies the same day

Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not forwarded — answered. If you have had a letter from The Pensions Regulator and are not sure what it means, you will know before the end of the day.

🔒

One price, agreed upfront

Your monthly fee is fixed from the start and does not move. No hourly billing, no invoice arriving larger than expected, no charge for the phone call you needed last Tuesday. Auto enrolment admin costs are predictable because the fee is.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

From enquiry to full compliance, the process is straightforward. No complicated onboarding and no forms that need a specialist to read.

1

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.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your payroll setup, how many employees you have and where things currently stand with auto enrolment. At the end of the call you will know what needs doing, in what order, and what it costs.

3

We handle the setup

Eligibility is assessed, your pension provider is confirmed or set up, employees are enrolled and the TPR declaration process is begun. You confirm you want to proceed — the rest is handled.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Monthly contributions processed alongside your payroll, re-enrolment dates tracked, and TPR compliance maintained as a matter of course. You will not be the one remembering when things are due. That is the point.

Questions

Questions Exeter employers usually ask first

Yes — auto enrolment applies to all UK employers, regardless of size. If you have at least one eligible employee aged between 22 and state pension age, earning over the earnings threshold, you have a legal duty to enrol them and contribute to a qualifying pension scheme. The staging date rules differ for newer employers, but the obligation is the same.
It is a common situation and it is fixable, though it is better addressed sooner than later. The Pensions Regulator can issue fixed penalty notices and escalating fines for non-compliance. We will assess where you stand, work out what needs to be corrected and handle the TPR communication. The sooner it is dealt with, the simpler it is.
Yes — auto enrolment runs as part of the payroll service. Contribution calculations, employee and employer deductions, and RTI submissions are all processed together each pay period. There is one fixed fee and one point of contact for both.
No. Month-to-month, with a month’s notice to leave. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because the exit clause is buried in paragraph nine.
