What Our Clients Say About AccFirm
Many of our Customers have started their early careers with AccFirm
We’ve been working with this accounting team for over two years, and the difference has been incredible. From bookkeeping and VAT returns to corporation tax planning, everything is handled efficiently and on time. They keep us fully compliant with HMRC while helping us improve cash flow and profitability. I highly recommend their services to any business owner.
Sarah Thompson
Thompson Retail Ltd
As a contractor under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), I needed accountants who truly understand HMRC requirements. They managed my CIS registration, monthly returns, and self-assessment without any stress. Their guidance saved me both time and money. Professional, reliable, and always available when needed
James Patel
Self-Employed Contractor (CIS)
AccFirm took over our accounts when our previous firm kept missing deadlines. Within three months they had identified over £4,200 in tax savings we had been leaving on the table including expenses we had never been told we could claim. They handle everything from our quarterly VAT returns to our year-end accounts and payroll, and our dedicated accountant is always reachable. For any London small business owner, I cannot recommend them enough.

FAQs about Payroll Accountant Services in London
What does a payroll accountant do?
A payroll accountant manages payroll calculations and related employer requirements. This can include PAYE, National Insurance, payslips, RTI submissions, workplace pension deductions, and payroll records.
How much do payroll accountant services cost?
The cost depends on factors such as the number of employees, pay frequency, payroll complexity and services required. A tailored quote is usually more accurate than a standard price.
Do payroll accountants deal with HMRC?
Yes. Payroll accountants can manage relevant PAYE and RTI reporting with HMRC on behalf of an employer. They can also help resolve payroll-related queries and discrepancies.
What is the difference between payroll and accounting services?
Payroll focuses on employee wages, deductions, and employer reporting. Accounting covers the wider financial records of a business, including bookkeeping, accounts, Corporation Tax and financial reporting.
Can you manage payroll for a small business?
Yes. Payroll accountants for small businesses can manage payroll even when a company has a small number of employees. Outsourcing can be a practical alternative to handling payroll internally.
How does CIS payroll work for construction businesses?
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) requires contractors in the construction industry to deduct money from payments made to subcontractors and pass the deductions to HMRC as advance tax payments. The standard deduction rate is 20% for subcontractors who are registered with CIS and 30% for unregistered subcontractors. Contractors must verify subcontractors with HMRC before making any payment, deduct the correct CIS amount, provide a monthly deduction statement to each subcontractor, and file a monthly CIS return with HMRC by the 19th of each month. Importantly, CIS deductions suffered by your own business (when you act as a subcontractor) can be set off against your own PAYE and NI liability improving cashflow significantly for construction businesses. AccFirm payroll accountants manage the complete CIS payroll cycle for construction clients.
Can you integrate payroll with Xero or QuickBooks?
Yes. Payroll workflows can be integrated with accounting software such as Xero and QuickBooks, depending on the business’s existing setup and payroll requirements.

AccFirm payroll accounting services are available as part of a fixed monthly accounting package or as a standalone payroll engagement.
