They deal with HMRC so we never have to. Only real gripe is that the software itself is less slick than the modern cloud tools.

Handing payroll over entirely was the best decision we made, and the pay run just happens and we approve it. Changes go through the bureau rather than being instant, but we live with it.

Handing payroll over entirely was the best decision we made.
Cons
Changes go through the bureau rather than being instant.
