Superb payroll software in the middle of a platform transition. The calculator based cloud pricing makes budgeting a guessing game until the quote lands.
Pros
Journal export to Xero and FreeAgent; employee app for payslips and P60s
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

RTI submissions file to HMRC on time, every period, without ceremony. Automatic cloud backups ended the desktop backup discipline problem.
Pros
Employee app for payslips and P60s
Cons
Transition period support waits

After 5 years serving UK clients from South Africa, this software carries the practice. Automatic cloud backups ended the desktop backup discipline problem.
Cons
Some workflows smoother on desktop still

Superb payroll software in the middle of a platform transition. Migration of multi year client history to the cloud needed careful checking.
Pros
Journal export to Xero and FreeAgent
Cons
Transition period support waits

CIS handling for construction clients works properly, which UK software often fumbles. Payslip layouts are polished enough that clients notice the upgrade. The most reliable software in our entire practice stack.
Pros
Statutory pay correct first time; batch processing across employers
Cons
UK and Irish legislation only

We onboarded a new UK client book of thirty employers in a fortnight. Worth every pound of the licence, and it is not many pounds.
Pros
HMRC recognised RTI that never fails; bureau licence covers unlimited employers

Auto enrolment used to terrify our juniors, the software walks them through it. Batch processing runs a dozen small employers before the first coffee. Pension re enrolment dates track themselves across every employer. Recommended to every outsourcing practice we meet.
Pros
CIS for construction clients
Cons
History migration needs checking

Our bureau in Worcester runs 15 UK client payrolls on it and pay day has never once slipped. The client portal lets UK employers approve timesheets in their own morning. The most reliable software in our entire practice stack.
Pros
Journal export to Xero and FreeAgent

Auto enrolment used to terrify our juniors, the software walks them through it. HMRC recognition means submissions just work, no middleware, no prayers. Our bureau would not run without it.
Pros
Client portals for approvals
Cons
Transition period support waits

Transition support did not match the product's usual standard. Two client files migrated with pension history gaps we caught by luck.
Cons
Migration landed on busy season

We loved the desktop and the desktop is being retired under us. Two client files migrated with pension history gaps we caught by luck. The cloud quote for our book nearly doubled our software line.
Pros
Statutory pay correct first time
Cons
Pension history gaps after migration

The support team answers like payroll specialists because they are. Automatic cloud backups ended the desktop backup discipline problem. Furlough era complexity was handled quickly, which earned lasting trust. Worth every pound of the licence, and it is not many pounds.
Pros
Polished payslip layouts

The cloud platform means our UK clients approve runs in their portal overnight our time. New tax year updates arrive seamlessly with the rates already right. If you serve UK clients from SA, this is the standard for a reason.
Cons
History migration needs checking

Excellent for UK work, and obviously it does nothing for SA payrolls. Support waits stretched during the transition rush. Support turnaround on a technical statutory question was under an hour.
Pros
Seamless new tax year updates; employee app for payslips and P60s
Cons
Desktop retirement forces migration

Great software navigating its own cloud migration with mixed grace. Our quote for the cloud came in higher than the old desktop licence, noticeably. Migration of multi year client history to the cloud needed careful checking.
Pros
Polished payslip layouts; employee app for payslips and P60s
Cons
History migration needs checking

Great software navigating its own cloud migration with mixed grace. It is UK and Irish legislation only, an SA employer needs local software.
Pros
CIS for construction clients
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

The pension submissions to NEST and Smart go automatically after every run.

Statutory sick pay, maternity, paternity, it calculates all of it correctly first time. The price per client is low enough that small employers stay profitable to serve. New tax year updates arrive seamlessly with the rates already right. Recommended to every outsourcing practice we meet.
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote
