Why outsource payroll and bookkeeping?

When your head is near explosion point trying to keep your financial records in order – VAT returns, payroll, auto enrolment, etc. etc. – using a specialist bookkeeper can remove those trials immediately and give you the time back to focus on what’s more important: building your business.

Don’t have access to a reliable bookkeeping service? CRM can help with that. Our subsidiary company A1 Bookkeeping and Payroll Services Ltd is based on the ground floor and celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The team manages the accurate financial information of many clients – both shared CRM clients and their own independent clients.

The experienced team is made up of Sue Hutter, Maria Page, Kerry Lane and Hayley Griffin who have over 30 years combined bookkeeping and payroll experience between them. A1 prides itself on understanding the frequent legislative changes that affect businesses of all sizes in Oxfordshire and nationwide.

Maria said: “We enjoy being more than just a number cruncher for our clients, we build strong partnerships and produce financial records that are easy to understand and vital when making important business decisions. We are well-versed in all the popular accounting software like Sage, Quickbooks and Xero so our clients don’t have to be the expert.”

Payroll getting the better of you?

From setting up new employees, recording sick pay and pension deductions to producing P45s, payslips and the year end reports, A1 can take these substantial and crucial payroll tasks off your desk. The payroll service is reliable, consistent and of course, complies with all the statutory requirements for your business.

Sue said: “We believe that a flexible service is the best way to support our clients, so we are happy to work at their offices or at our own Oxfordshire base, we can get involved weekly, monthly or quarterly to suit any needs. We work with a wide range of companies in the leisure, hospitality, charity, business to business and wholesale sectors.

“For us, it’s all about giving back time to business owners and managers. Many people think that they’re saving money by managing their own bookkeeping and payroll but we find that we save them more because we help them to be more efficient, avoid late payments and keep on top of submission dates.”

Noel Heaven, Director at CRM, recommends the professional bookkeeping services of A1. He said: “We like working with the trustworthy team at A1, it means we know that the financial records of our joint clients are presented in a clear and timely way.
