Payroll Services

At Drummond Laurie we don’t just process your payroll, we work with you to manage your payroll and automatic enrolment, (workplace pensions), from start to finish. All you need to do is send us your figures, be it monthly salaries, or weekly hours, details of starters and leavers, and any other relevant information, and we take care of the rest; from producing your payslips, arranging payments to your staff and to HMRC, filing your returns and producing reports for you.

We specialise in working with owner managed businesses, often starting by registering you as an employer and walking you through the process of setting up your payroll.

We are proactive in designing the payroll process to keep you compliant with the ever more complex legislation, whilst ensuring there is minimal involvement from you and so freeing you to concentrate on running your business.

Whether you are experienced in payroll or this is all new to you, we will help you every step of the way, ensuring you receive the service you need and getting your payroll up and running as smoothly as possible.

Regular feedback from clients who use our managed payroll service tell us that the biggest benefit to them of taking the service is the peace of mind that it brings them. No longer do they have to worry about understanding the finer points of PAYE rules and regulations, rather they can rest assured that their payroll is being looked after by an experienced team who explain things to them at a level they can understand.

"I had no prior experience of Drummond Laurie or their team until last year when we had a need for some help with the production of monthly management accounts for one of our group companies. Our reporting deadlines are very tight, however, Drummond Laurie have been able to not only meet these every month but in addition they have been able to make the whole process more efficient, which has reduced the time taken and our costs too. In my experience to date, the team at Drummond Laurie are professional and efficient in what they do and have also been friendly and easy to get along with. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any similar business in need of on-going accounting services."

− IAN KING, COMPANY SECRETARY, CARRON PHOENIX LTD

"“I had no hesitation following David and his team to Drummond Laurie. David has been my accountant for more than 15 years and he is surrounded by a team of professionals. However, the real value he brings to the table is his real-world business experience having worked as the Finance Director in a successful SME for a number of years.

Thus he’s not only good at helping his clients count their beans, but he has hands-on experience of how hard it is to acquire and keep at least some of these beans in the first place. If you’re thinking of switching your accountant, I really can’t recommend them highly enough. So stop reading and go do it!”"

"“We have worked with Ian Bilsland for many years and over that time have found him to be approachable, friendly and always able to explain complex matters in a clear and understandable manner.

As our business has developed he has been on hand to guide us through all of the challenges we have faced.”"

− FIONA LAMB, THE WOODHOUSE KIPPEN LTD.

They have surpassed my expectations and been a great addition to my business.”"
