Roles You Can Hire For Managed Payroll Services
Trained offshore payroll professionals for UK accountancy practices of every size.
Payroll Administrator
Handles day-to-day payroll processing for your clients, calculating gross and net pay, processing deductions, managing BACS payments, and ensuring timely PAYE and NIC remittances to HMRC. Familiar with RTI submission requirements and UK payroll legislation.
Payroll Specialist
Goes beyond processing. Manages P45 and P60 preparation, year-end payroll packages, employer NIC reconciliations, and statutory payment calculations, including SSP, SMP, and SPP. The right hire for firms whose clients need accurate, audit-ready payroll records every pay cycle.
Payroll Compliance Analyst
Keeps your clients on the right side of HMRC. Monitors PAYE, NIC, and student loan deduction accuracy, tracks legislative changes including National Living Wage uplifts and fiscal year threshold shifts, and flags discrepancies before they attract penalties. Essential for firms managing multi-entity or multi-site payrolls.
Payroll Manager
Oversees your offshore payroll team's workflow, reviews processed payrolls before submission, coordinates with your onshore staff, and manages client-specific payroll SOPs. Ideal for accountancy practices running payroll services across multiple client files simultaneously.
Payroll Reporting Analyst
Handles payroll reporting, labour cost analysis, and reconciliation of payroll accounts to the nominal ledger. Supports firms that offer payroll as part of a broader managed accounting and bookkeeping engagement.

Why UK Practices Choose MYCPE ONE
For Offshore Payroll Services
One missed RTI submission. One incorrect P60. One late BACS run. Any of these erodes client trust quickly, and with HMRC,
the penalties follow fast. Here's why UK accountancy practices bring MYCPE ONE in to manage it.
HMRC-Compliant From Day One
Our specialists arrive knowing the RTI calendar, PAYE remittance deadlines, and year-end filing requirements. They do not learn on your clients' time.
Take Payroll Off Your Team's Plate
Payroll is time-sensitive, repetitive, and unforgiving. Offload the processing, reconciliations, and year-end prep, and give your onshore team back the hours they've been spending on work a specialist should be doing.
Statutory Payments. Zero Confusion.
SSP, SMP, SPP, ShPP - our specialists handle every category of statutory payment correctly, first time. Rate changes, eligibility checks, reclaim calculations, covered.
Platform-Ready Before Their First Pay Run
BrightPay, Sage Payroll, Xero Payroll, IRIS Payroll, Moneysoft - our specialists are platform-tested before placement. No delays, no platform-related errors, no disruption to your clients' pay cycles.
Headcount That Flexes With Your Workload
Whether you're onboarding a new client with 200 employees or running monthly payroll for a portfolio of SMEs, your offshore team scales to the volume, without permanent headcount or renegotiated contracts.
Secure. Confidential. UK GDPR-Aligned.
SOC 2 Type-II, ISO 27001:2022, and full compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 - every payroll file, including employee bank details and NI numbers, is handled in a secure, access-controlled environment throughout.
Your Data Security is Our Priority

Frequently Asked Questions
MYCPE ONE provides end-to-end offshore account services covering the full payroll function for UK accountancy practices, including payroll processing, RTI submissions, PAYE and NIC remittances, statutory payment calculations, P60 and P45 preparation, year-end reconciliations, and payroll reporting. Our offshore payroll specialists are trained in UK payroll legislation and the platforms your clients already use, making us one of the most capable offshore partners available to UK practices without adding permanent onshore headcount.
Yes. Our payroll professionals are trained on Full Payment Submission and Employer Payment Summary requirements, PAYE remittance deadlines, and the distinction between in-year and year-end filing obligations. They track threshold changes, review deduction accuracy each pay cycle, and flag discrepancies well before they become compliance issues for your clients.
Yes. Many UK accountancy practices use MYCPE ONE specifically to manage payroll for their SME clients, recurring engagements that are profitable but time-consuming for in-house staff. Whether your client employs 3 people or 300, our offshore payroll specialists handle the full cycle with the same accuracy and reliability as your larger mandates.
Our payroll professionals are tested in BrightPay, Sage Payroll, Xero Payroll, IRIS Payroll Professional, Moneysoft, and QuickBooks Payroll, the platforms most widely used by UK accounting practices and their clients. They integrate into your existing payroll workflow without a learning curve or disruption to pay cycle timelines.
Our specialists are trained on all categories of statutory payment under current UK legislation, including eligibility assessment, rate application, and HMRC reclaim procedures. They apply the correct rates each tax year, flag edge cases for your review, and ensure payslips and payroll records reflect statutory payments accurately.
Payroll software automates the calculation. It does not review, reconcile, catch errors, or flag compliance risks on your behalf. MYCPE ONE gives you offshore payroll professionals - people who process, check, and take ownership of your clients' payroll under your firm's direction. That distinction matters when an employee queries their pay or HMRC raises a question about a submission.
Most UK practices are fully up and running within two to four weeks. We start with a fit assessment call, run platform proficiency testing on your preferred payroll software, complete IT set-up within our secure infrastructure, and have your offshore specialist processing their first payroll cycle within the month.
Yes. Many UK practices use MYCPE ONE for payroll as part of a broader offshore engagement that also covers bookkeeping, VAT returns, and tax preparation. We can provide dedicated specialists for each function or a combined role, depending on your client mix and service calendar.
All payroll data, including employee NI numbers, bank account details, and salary information is handled within a SOC 2 Type-II certified and ISO 27001:2022 compliant infrastructure. Our data handling protocols align with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and ICO guidance on third-party data processors, giving your firm confidence that client employee data is protected at every stage of the payroll process.
Yes. Our offshore payroll specialists are experienced in managing multi-client payroll portfolios, which is the normal operating model for accountancy practices. Each client's payroll structure, pay frequencies, statutory obligations, and HMRC references are maintained separately, with clear SOPs ensuring consistency and accuracy across your full client roster.
