Payroll taking longer than it should every month?
For most Manchester business owners, payroll is one of those jobs that sits on the to-do list until it cannot be ignored any longer. PAYE calculations, RTI deadlines, pension contributions, year-end reporting: each one is straightforward enough on its own, but together they take real time. And if anything slips, HMRC notices.
- RTI deadlines missed because payroll gets pushed to the last minute
- Pension auto-enrolment duties unclear, with the risk of a compliance notice
- CIS deduction statements late or incorrectly calculated, causing disputes with subcontractors
What a handled payroll looks like
We take the whole payroll cycle off your plate. Each month your PAYE is calculated, RTI is filed before the deadline, and your employees receive their payslips. You deal with the business; we deal with HMRC.
- RTI filed ahead of every payment date, no last-minute scramble
- Auto-enrolment duties monitored and pension contributions reported accurately
- CIS payroll processed correctly, with deduction statements ready for every subcontractor
- Fixed, transparent fees quoted upfront so there are no surprises on the invoice
What Manchester business owners say
We work with sole traders, limited companies, and contractors across Manchester and the wider North West, handling their payroll and compliance entirely online.
I highly recommend Prads and Wings Online Filings! They were professional, responsive, and prompt throughout, and handled our company accounts and tax return smoothly. Excellent service and genuinely reliable, exactly what you want in an accounting partner.
Working with Wings Online Filings Ltd has been an absolute pleasure. They are highly communicative, supportive, and provide a responsive, cost-effective service that perfectly suits my small architecture practice. I switched from another accountant about a year ago and haven’t looked back since.
Everything your payroll needs, each month
Our payroll service covers the full cycle for Manchester businesses: PAYE, RTI, pensions, CIS, and all year-end returns. Quoted on your headcount and requirements.
PAYE & RTI Submissions
Your payroll is calculated accurately each pay period and the Full Payment Submission is filed with HMRC before the payment date. Payslips go to your employees on time, and your PAYE liability is clear before you transfer the funds. No chasing, no last-minute panic.
Included as standardPension Auto-Enrolment
We manage your auto-enrolment duties, including contribution calculations, re-enrolment cycles, and the declarations your pension provider requires. You will not receive a compliance notice from The Pensions Regulator because a deadline was missed. The process runs quietly in the background.
Included as standardCIS Payroll & Year-End Returns
For construction businesses in Manchester paying subcontractors under CIS, we calculate the correct deduction rate, issue monthly deduction statements, and handle the year-end CIS return. P60s, P45s, and P11Ds are prepared and submitted on time so the year ends cleanly.

What makes this different from other payroll providers
There are plenty of payroll bureaus out there. Here is what sets this service apart for Manchester businesses.
Payroll and Accounts Under One Roof
When payroll sits separately from your bookkeeping and tax, things fall through the gaps. Directors’ salaries, employer NIC, and year-end figures need to reconcile. Having payroll, accounts, and tax handled by the same qualified accountants means the numbers join up without you having to explain anything twice.
HMRC Compliance Handled Proactively
RTI deadlines, auto-enrolment re-enrolment cycles, CIS returns: we track these on your behalf so nothing is missed. HMRC penalties for late or incorrect payroll submissions are avoidable, and avoiding them is straightforward when someone is watching the calendar. You will not find out about a problem from an HMRC letter.
Plain English, Not Payroll Jargon
Payroll has its own language: FPS, EPS, NI category letters, qualifying earnings thresholds. You should not need to learn it to know whether your payroll is running correctly. We explain what matters in plain terms and flag anything you need to act on, without overwhelming you with detail you did not ask for.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients are set up and running within a few days. You do not need to prepare anything in particular before getting in touch.
Tell Us About Your Payroll
Fill in the quote form or call us. We will ask about your headcount, pay frequency, whether you use CIS, and whether you have an existing pension scheme. That is usually enough to give you a fixed quote the same day.
We Take Over the Setup
We collect your existing PAYE and pension details, or help you register if you are setting up for the first time. We handle the transfer from your previous provider so there is no gap in filings and no duplicate submissions to HMRC.
Send Us Your Payroll Details
Each pay period, you send us the hours or salaries for that run. We calculate the figures, prepare the payslips, file the RTI submission, and send you the PAYE liability to transfer. The whole exchange typically takes a few minutes of your time.
Payroll Off Your Plate for Good
Deadlines pass without any diary reminders from you. Year-end P60s are prepared and distributed. Your employees are paid correctly, your pension contributions are reported, and your payroll records are clean. That is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Professional, efficient, confidence that everything is taken care of.”
Things Manchester business owners usually ask
Can you handle CIS payroll as well as standard PAYE?
Yes. We process CIS payroll for construction businesses across Manchester and the wider North West, calculating the correct deduction rate for each subcontractor, issuing monthly deduction statements, and filing the monthly CIS return with HMRC. If a subcontractor needs to be verified before payment, we handle that too.
What does the payroll service cost and what is included?
Payroll is priced based on your headcount and pay frequency, so we give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything. The fee covers payroll calculations, payslips, RTI submissions, and pension contribution reporting each pay period. P60s, P45s, and P11Ds are included at year end. There are no add-on charges for standard payroll tasks.
We have been managing payroll ourselves and the records are a bit inconsistent. Can you take it on?
This is a fairly common situation. Before we run the first payroll, we review your existing PAYE records and identify anything that needs to be corrected with HMRC. If there are discrepancies in NI contributions or outstanding submissions, we work through them methodically before the next payment date. The catch-up work is scoped and quoted separately so you know the cost upfront.
Is there a minimum contract or a notice period to leave?
No minimum contract. If you decide the service is not right for you, we ask for reasonable notice (usually one pay period) so we can prepare a clean handover file for your next provider. Your payroll records are yours: we will transfer them in full.
Do you set up auto-enrolment from scratch if we do not have a pension scheme yet?
Yes. If you are approaching your staging date or have recently taken on staff for the first time, we can help you choose a suitable workplace pension scheme, complete the registration, and then manage the ongoing contributions and re-enrolment duties. We will make sure the correct letters and notices go to your employees at the right time.
Can you advise on the most tax-efficient salary and dividend split for a director?
Yes. For director-shareholders, the right combination of salary and dividends can make a meaningful difference to the overall tax position each year. We look at this as part of the broader tax picture, taking into account your company profits, personal allowance, and National Insurance thresholds, and explain the options clearly before anything is decided.
