Payroll eating more time than it should?
For most small Devon businesses, payroll is not complicated — but it is relentless. RTI submissions to HMRC each month, payslips to issue, director pay to structure correctly, and the nagging awareness that a missed deadline means a penalty. It tends to sit on the to-do list longer than it should. It is solvable — it just takes longer the more you leave it.
- RTI submissions missed or filed late, risking HMRC penalties
- Director salary not structured to minimise tax liability effectively
- Payroll admin taking up time that should go into running the business
What handled payroll looks like
RTI filed on time every month without you chasing it. Director pay structured correctly from the start so you are not overpaying tax. Payslips issued, records maintained and HMRC kept informed — none of it sitting on your desk.
- RTI submissions filed on time — HMRC penalties off the table
- Director salary set to minimise your tax bill, not just to satisfy compliance
- Payroll admin handled monthly — back on your time, not your to-do list
- A fixed monthly cost that does not change regardless of how many questions you ask

What your monthly payroll fee covers
Three things that keep your payroll compliant, your director pay efficient and your monthly admin off your plate — for one fixed monthly fee.
Monthly Payroll and RTI Submissions
Your payroll is processed each month and submitted to HMRC via RTI before the deadline. Payslips are issued, employee records kept current and any adjustments handled as they arise. Nothing lands late.
Included as standardDirector Salary and Dividend Planning
Getting the split between salary and dividends right makes a meaningful difference to your tax bill. Your director pay is structured from the outset to keep your liability as low as legitimately possible — reviewed as your profits change.
Tax-efficient from day oneHMRC Compliance and Employer Obligations
Employer PAYE, National Insurance, and any HMRC correspondence relating to your payroll are handled as part of the service. If HMRC writes, we deal with it. You are kept informed, not left to figure it out.

Why Devon businesses choose Swift for payroll
There is no shortage of payroll providers. Here is what is different about working with an ICAEW chartered accountant who handles payroll as part of a joined-up service.
Payroll joined up with your accounts
Your payroll does not sit in isolation. Director salary, dividends and corporation tax are considered together, so the decisions made in payroll are consistent with your wider tax position. An isolated payroll bureau cannot do that — a chartered accountant running your whole picture can.
Replies the same day
Questions about payroll get answered the day you ask them. Not logged and queued — answered. If you want to know whether a bonus payment changes your NI position, you will have a straight answer before the end of the day.
One price, agreed upfront
Your monthly payroll fee is fixed. No hourly billing, no per-amendment charges, no invoice that arrives larger than expected. You know what it costs before you start and that figure does not move.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to payroll handled. No complicated setup, no forms that require a qualified interpreter.
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 waiting a week for a callback.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your current setup — how many employees, how payroll currently works and what needs sorting. At the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs.
We handle the setup
Your payroll is configured, employee records are set up in the system and any historical records are brought into order. You confirm you want to proceed — we take it from there.
Monthly payroll, just handled
Each month your payroll is processed, RTI filed and payslips issued without you chasing it. Your director salary is set correctly, your PAYE is current and HMRC correspondence is someone else’s problem. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
