Payroll Services For The Charity And Not-For-Profit Sector

As a charity or not-for-profit organisation, your staff costs may be your organisation's largest cost. You may have limited payroll resources and yet there are increasing complexities of payroll through legislation changes which affect your charity/not-for-profit organisation.

We work with a number of charity and not-for-profit clients and we know that as a charity, you have specific payroll needs which may include:

high staff turnover; temporary contract workers; large numbers of smaller employee payments; fund specific payroll allocation; and commission based fundraisers. You should consider outsourcing your payroll activities, as you will then know that your obligations are being met and that your employees are receiving their wages and salaries on time and with the correct accompanying information.

Our dedicated and highly professional charity payroll teams work with accuracy, confidentiality and compliance on all your payroll matters. We have in-house specialists to deal with any tax or related issues within your sector.

You can be sure that our payroll experts are up to date with the ever-changing legislation that affects both the execution and reporting of your charity's payroll activities.

Using our specialist charity payroll service, you and your employees can focus on your primary purpose.
