Payroll & Work Place Pension

Paying your staff accurately and on time is one of the most important responsibilities you have as an employer. But keeping up with payroll rules, tax codes, National Insurance, statutory payments, and pension contributions can be time-consuming and complicated.

We offer a complete payroll service, tailored to your business—whether you have one employee or a growing team. From setting up new starters and issuing payslips to filing RTI (Real Time Information) submissions with HMRC, we make sure everything runs smoothly and stays compliant.

Workplace pensions are a legal requirement for most employers. If you employ staff aged between 22 and state pension age, earning above the earnings threshold, you must automatically enrol them into a qualifying pension scheme and make contributions. We’ll help you understand your duties, manage enrolment, and stay on top of your ongoing responsibilities.

The biggest payroll headaches we see often come from missed deadlines, incorrect tax codes, or not meeting pension duties—which can lead to penalties. We take this burden off your plate, giving you peace of mind that everything is being handled correctly.

Whether you’re just hiring your first employee or need help streamlining an existing payroll system, you can count on us for reliable, professional support.

CIS (Construction Industry Scheme)

If you work in the construction industry as a contractor or subcontractor, the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) sets out how tax is deducted and reported to HMRC. Contractors must deduct money from subcontractors’ payments and pass it to HMRC—similar to PAYE—while subcontractors have to ensure they’re registered correctly and keeping track of deductions made.

CIS can quickly become complex, with monthly filing requirements, strict deadlines, and different rules depending on whether you’re a contractor, subcontractor, or both. The most common problems we see are incorrect deductions, missed returns, or businesses not registering properly in the first place—all of which can lead to HMRC penalties.

We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Our CIS support includes registering you with HMRC, verifying subcontractors, calculating the correct deductions, and submitting your monthly CIS returns. If you’re a subcontractor, we’ll make sure you’re reclaiming what’s owed and help you stay organised for your year-end tax return.

Whether you’re running a large contracting team or working solo on site, we’ll take care of the paperwork so you can focus on the job.

Prior to setting up a new business on October 2021, I was recommended by a family member who has been using Don Roper Accountant Ltd for over 30 years to contact Lisa to talk through options. From starting as a sole trader and later evolving it into a limited company Lisa and her team have been key to our decision making regarding our business and personal finances. Using multiple platforms (e.g. WhatsApp group, Teams/Zoom etc) the communication and response times to any accountancy queries are excellent and as such I would highly recommend Don Roper Accountant Ltd for both personal and business accountancy services.
Stuart Ford – Stuart W Ford Project Management Ltd
More than happy to share and for you to use it on your website….. I started a new business, and it was my first time being self-employed. I was recommended Lisa Roper. I was nervous and I had no idea what to expect having worked most of my life for someone else. Lisa’s personal approach, speedy response, and patience with every single one of my stupid questions was exceptional! During the first chat, I had all my immediate questions answered, knew the plan going forward and exactly what was expected of me and what Lisa would be doing for me. I was so happy that it took all the pressure off and everything was sorted within a few weeks. I have since asked more questions and all have been answered, with Lisa even calling me to talk it through rather than just reply to my email. I would thoroughly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs this service.

They are always on hand to advise on the ever-changing landscape of company finances and if a query presents itself that is not within their expertise, they are forthcoming in pointing us in the right direction to a respected specialist who can assist us. I highly recommend Lisa and her wonderful team.
Alicia Store – Navigatx Ltd
I have used Don Roper since the inception of my business through a recommendation of an industry colleague. They were extremely helpful in giving me advice and guidance in setting up the company and the many protocols to follow. They also take care of the companies day to day accountancy which gives me peace of mind as they are prompt and thorough. The biggest benefit for me personally is being able to pick the phone up and have a conversation with Lisa and team to get informed answers on queries I have. I would highly recommend Don Roper.

June Cain
I had contacted a few accountants prior to finding Don Roper Accountants. During my very first conversation with Lisa I knew she was the one to go with. She put my mind at ease immediately with her knowledge and expertise and explained in a detailed and reassuring manner a pathway forward for my tax affairs. I would highly recommend Lisa and her team.
Lisa Williams
Lisa at DonRoper Accountants stepped in when two sudden bereavements in our courier company management caused huge problems. From having no prior knowledge of the company she was able to sort out our finances, both business and personal in a professional and friendly manner. Very accessible for questions and advice when needed. 5* recommendation.
