Routine payroll processing
Gross-to-net calculations for regular and variable pay, overtime, bonuses, deductions, salary sacrifice and approved adjustments.
Overview
A controlled payroll process for your people and your business
Payroll affects employees directly and leaves little room for delay or error. A reliable process needs accurate source information, secure handling, timely HMRC reporting and clear communication with management and employees.
CBM Accounting provides a structured outsourced payroll service for weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly and monthly pay cycles. We agree cut-off dates, validate changes, process payroll, issue reports and help keep employer obligations under control.

Frequently asked questions
Questions clients often ask
Every situation is different. These answers provide a practical starting point, and we confirm the position after reviewing the facts.
Ask our team a questionCan you take over payroll during the tax year?
Yes. We can usually complete a mid-year transfer using year-to-date payroll records, employee details, HMRC references and pension information. We first reconcile the opening data to reduce the risk of duplicated or missing figures.
When do you need payroll changes from us?
We agree a clear cut-off before each payday. Changes received after the cut-off may need to be processed in the next payroll or handled as an additional run, depending on urgency and the agreed service.
Do you manage workplace pension submissions?
We can prepare pension contribution files and support routine auto-enrolment administration for compatible providers. The precise responsibilities are documented during onboarding.
Can employees contact you directly?
A managed employee query service can be included. Many clients prefer queries to pass through an authorised internal contact so changes and confidential matters remain controlled.
Can payroll integrate with our bookkeeping?
Yes. Payroll journals and liability reports can be incorporated into the bookkeeping process, improving reconciliation of wages, PAYE, pensions and employee balances.
