Why Outsourcing Payroll in Hove Makes Sense for Small Businesses
Running a small business is rewarding, but it’s rarely simple. Between looking after your customers, managing day-to-day operations, and planning for growth, the last thing you want is to get bogged down in admin. One of the most time-consuming (and stressful) tasks for many business owners? Payroll.
It may be time to consider outsourcing if you’re still managing salary administration in-house or relying on outdated spreadsheets. At Brywel Associates, we offer tailored payrun services to our Hove clients. These services are designed to relieve the pressure on small business owners and ensure your team is paid accurately and on time without the risk of penalties or employee frustration.
Our established team of qualified accountants also specialises in bookkeeping, VAT returns, self-assessment tax returns, and other financial support services.


What Does Payroll Actually Involve?
It’s not just about processing direct debits; payrun services involve a series of legally required steps, including:
- Calculating gross and net pay
- Deducting income tax, National Insurance, and pension contributions
- Managing statutory pay (sick, maternity, etc.)
- Filing Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC
- Producing payslips and year-end documents like P60s
- Staying compliant with ever-changing legislation
This wage and tax management can quickly overwhelm small businesses, especially those without in-house finance teams.
Why Outsourcing Payroll Makes Sense
Delegating your employee pay services to a professional firm like Brywel Associates offers more than just convenience. It guarantees real value for your time and budget.
Here’s why small businesses across Hove are choosing to outsource their payroll:
- Less Admin – Save hours each month and avoid the repetitive workload of processing pay
- Fewer Mistakes – Professional oversight helps prevent errors, missed deadlines or incorrect tax deductions
- Improved Compliance – Stay fully up to date with HMRC regulations and avoid fines
- Staff Confidence – Reliable, on-time payments foster trust and reduce HR headaches
With access to advanced software and procedures, and the support of fully qualified accountants, you’ll never have to second-guess your payrun services again.


Tailored Payroll Support in Hove
At Brywel Associates, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all services. We work with sole traders, startups, and established SMEs across East Sussex to offer flexible, reliable employee pay services that meet your unique needs.
We also offer salary administration support as part of a broader package. This service integrates seamlessly with our bookkeeping, self-assessment VAT returns, and tax returns for full financial clarity.
Avoiding the Pitfalls of DIY Payroll
While doing your payroll might seem like a cost-saving move, it can create more problems in the long run. Common issues include:
- Miscalculating pay or deductions
- Filing RTI returns late
- Missing key updates in legislation
- Failing to submit year-end summaries correctly
- Forgetting to issue P60s or P45s
Even small mistakes can lead to headaches, including HMRC penalties or unhappy employees. With our wage and tax management services, you’ll avoid these issues completely.


Payrun Services That Grow With Your Business
Your business won’t stay the same forever, so your financial systems shouldn’t, either. As you take on more employees, expand into new locations beyond Hove, or adapt to seasonal changes, Brywel Associates ensures your employee pay services remain efficient and compliant.
