If payroll already runs, what’s the problem?
Most SMEs don’t struggle with payslips — they struggle with what happens after payroll runs.
Common issues we see:
- PAYE and pension balances in Xero that don’t match HMRC
- Payroll journals posted incorrectly (or not at all)
- Incorrect CIS reporting
- Business owners unsure what they actually owe
- Cashflow forecasts distorted by incorrect liabilities
If your balance sheet doesn’t match HMRC, you don’t have financial clarity — you have risk.
