They currently provide payroll to around 15 clients operating across different sectors and runs a payroll for 50+ employees each month. Prior to 2014, they had steered clear of payroll altogether as they did not have the specialist knowledge and the licensed software to process payroll. Plus, payroll offered them limited profitability and was time-intensive.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-5 offset-lg-1 col-xxl-4 offset-xxl-1 text-start text-md-end d-md-block d-none\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qxaccounting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/03\/Payroll-outsourcing-helps-accountancy-client-improve-payroll-profitability.png\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"row\">\r\n        <div class=\"col-md-6 col-xxl-7 se-style1\">\r\n        <h2>The challenge<\/h2>\n<p>With employees on different pay cycles and varying wages, our client\u2019s biggest challenge was collating their client\u2019s payroll information accurately and getting it up-to-date for each pay period. Having previously chosen QXAS for accounts and tax return work, our client was drawn to our payroll outsourcing service as an effective way to diversify their practice without having to worry about hiring specialist payroll staff, meeting RTI submission deadlines and keeping up with legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Our client wanted us to take the entire responsibility of payroll, right from processing and managing of their client\u2019s payroll to liaising with third party agencies such as HMRC. Starting with an initial test of the service, they gave us a small number of weekly payrolls. As we processed the payroll on our own licenced software (Moneysoft Payroll Manager), all our client had to do was fill in and return our customised employer and employee data checklists.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-5 offset-lg-1 col-xxl-4 offset-xxl-1 text-start text-md-end\">\r\n      <div class=\"csdetbox2\">\r\n        <h3>AT A GLANCE<\/h3>\n<h4>Saves \u00a31000s in software and upgrade costs.<\/h4>\n<h5>Using QXAS, nyc Business Mentors and Chartered Accountants were able to:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Added a new source of revenue for their practice<\/li>\n<li>Removed the need to recruit specialist payroll staff<\/li>\n<li>Offer a payroll service with minimal intervention themselves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n<section class=\"csdetbox3\" style=\"background:#ffebee\">\r\n  <div class=\"container se-style1\">\r\n    <h2><span style=\"color: #000000\">The solution<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Our client wanted us to take the entire responsibility of payroll, right from processing and managing of their client\u2019s payroll to liaising with third party agencies such as HMRC.

The data was collected and processed by our payroll team within 24 hours. Once our client checked that everything was in order, we delivered in-depth payroll reports back via our secure FTP portal where they could be downloaded by our client\u2019s team. The initial trial was a success and we moved to take over their entire payroll services. Within a short space of time we received the following feedback from the client, \u201cYour structured process has saved me thousands of pounds I would have spent on payroll software licence, upgrades and initial staff training.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Our client went a step ahead and even set up QXAS payroll staff on their email server, so we could directly communicate with their clients and staff as if we were their employees, sending them payslips and monthly reports and leaving our client free to focus on diversifying their practice. Since 2014, we\u2019ve been saving them more than 50% each month on the money they would spend if they outsourced to a UK based payroll bureau.<\/span><\/p>\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"csdetbox3\" style=\"background:#2B0A5B\">\r\n  <div class=\"container se-style1\">\r\n    <h2>How we helped<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Saved annual costs of around \u00a31000 in software and upgrade costs<\/li>\n<li>Added a new source of revenue for their practice<\/li>\n<li>Removed the need to recruit specialist payroll staff<\/li>\n<li>Enabled the client to offer a payroll service with minimal intervention<\/li>\n<li>themselves and deliver extra profit to their accountancy firm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"csdetbox4\" style=\"background:#fff\">\r\n<div class=\"container se-style1\">\r\n  <h2>Services delivered<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>In-depth payroll reports provided through our secure FTP portal<\/li>\n<li>Removed the need for software licence fees, upgrades and training cost<\/li>\n<li>Rapid response to deliver timely and accurate payroll services<\/li>\n<li>With our client\u2019s permission, we directly communicated with their clients and their employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\r\n<section class=\"csdetbox5\">\r\n<div class=\"container\">\r\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\r\n<div class=\"col-lg-10 col-xxl-9\">\r\n<div id=\"recommendation1k\" class=\"carousel slide carousel-fade recommendation\" data-bs-ride=\"carousel\">\r\n<div class=\"carousel-inner\">\r\n<h4>Recommendation<\/h4>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"carousel-item active\">\r\n            <p>&#8220;We find the service offered by QXAS to be so efficient and reliable that we have set up an email inbox on our server for them so that they can directly communicate with our clients for payroll matters. For all intents and purposes, QXAS are the nyc-bmca payroll team. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I am very impressed with their processes, the accuracy of the payroll work provided, and the turnaround time, and most importantly, our clients are very happy too.
