Sound familiar?
Not sure when or how to register as an employer?
PAYE registration has a hard deadline — you must register before your first payroll date, not after. Get the date wrong, the employment status wrong or the director salary structure wrong and HMRC will want to know why. Most Devon business owners do not find out until something has already gone slightly sideways. It is all fixable — it just gets messier the longer it waits.
- Uncertainty about when exactly PAYE registration needs to happen
- Director salary set up without proper guidance on NI thresholds or tax codes
- RTI submissions missed or filed incorrectly because the setup was rushed
What properly registered looks like
Your PAYE scheme set up with HMRC at the right time, with the right employment status and salary structure in place. RTI submissions filed every payroll run without you needing to think about it. Your employer obligations handled before they become a compliance issue.
- PAYE scheme registered correctly and on time — no missed deadlines
- Director salary and NI thresholds set up with proper tax planning from day one
- RTI submissions handled each pay run — less chance of HMRC queries
- A fixed monthly cost that covers payroll, employer filings and any questions you have
What Devon clients say about us
We work with small limited companies and sole traders across Devon on payroll setup and ongoing employer compliance. Two clients who came to us needing things sorted quickly.
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.
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 your monthly fee covers
PAYE registration, ongoing payroll and employer compliance — three things Devon business owners consistently get wrong when they try to manage them alone.
PAYE Registration and Employer Setup
Your employer PAYE scheme registered with HMRC at the correct time, with the right employment dates and tax codes. Director salary, employee contracts and NI thresholds are considered from the outset — not corrected later. Getting it right at the start is considerably easier than unpicking it afterwards.
Done before your first payrollMonthly Payroll and RTI Submissions
Payroll run each month, RTI submission filed with HMRC and payslips issued to employees and directors. Your employer National Insurance and PAYE deductions are calculated correctly and your payment schedule to HMRC is clear. Nothing falls through between payroll dates.
Fixed fee per monthDirector Salary and Tax Planning
A director salary set at the right level relative to your NI thresholds and dividend strategy. Getting this wrong costs money unnecessarily — getting it right from the start means your personal tax position is efficient throughout the year. You will know what you are drawing and why.
Included with payrollDevon businesses sorted by Swift
Sole traders taking on their first employee, directors setting up payroll for the first time, and limited companies that have let things slip. Usually arriving with something out of order. Leaving with considerably less to worry about.
Two Years In, Still Highly Recommending
“I’ve been using Swift Accounting for two years now after my previous accountant retired and recommended Kieran. Excellent and prompt service, great communications and above all really helpful. Highly recommend.”
Switched Accountants and Already Saving Money
“Having only recently switched my business to Swift from another accountant, I have found them efficient, friendly and professional, and they’re already saving me money. Would recommend. Nic Paton, Cormorant Media”
Fast, Reliable Work at Short Notice Again
“Great work by Kieran sorting out my business accounts really fast and at short notice on multiple occasions. Many thanks and I would highly recommend them for all accounting needs.”
Why Devon businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who already knows how employer compliance works and responds the same day you ask.
PAYE set up once, set up right
PAYE registration has downstream consequences — the wrong start date, the wrong employment status or a missed RTI submission can trigger HMRC queries that take time to resolve. The setup is done correctly the first time, with the right dates, codes and salary structure in place. You will not need to revisit it.
Questions answered the same day
When you are not sure whether a new member of staff counts as an employee or whether your director salary is set at the right level, you want an answer before you make the decision. Questions get answered the day you ask them — not queued, not passed along. Every review we have reflects exactly this.
One fixed monthly fee
Your payroll and employer compliance costs are agreed upfront and do not move. No hourly billing, no charge for the extra question you asked in March. Your accounting overhead is as predictable as any other fixed cost in your business.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to your PAYE scheme registered and payroll running. No complicated forms, no back-and-forth that drags on for weeks.
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 responses, no holding message.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your setup — how many employees, what software you are using, and what needs to be registered or corrected. By the end of the call you will know what is covered and what it costs.
We handle the registration
Your PAYE scheme is registered with HMRC at the correct date, your payroll software is configured and your first RTI submission is prepared. You confirm the details and we do the rest.
Ongoing — nothing slips
Monthly payroll run, RTI filed, payslips issued, employer PAYE payments scheduled. Your HMRC obligations are handled as a matter of course, month in, month out. Which is, frankly, how it should be.
“What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.”
