Managing payroll can be a time-consuming and complex task for any business. From making sure your team is paid on time to handling pensions, tax codes, and legal compliance, payroll involves much more than pressing a few buttons. That’s why many companies choose to work with experienced payroll consultants who can take the pressure off and ensure everything is done properly.
At DCS Payroll, we’ve been helping businesses manage their payroll with confidence since 1994. We support over 500 clients across the UK, from single-director companies to organisations with over 1,500 staff. Our consultants act as an extension of your team, providing friendly, tailored support that you can rely on.
What Do Payroll Consultants Actually Do?
The role of a payroll consultant goes beyond just running payslips. A good consultant becomes a trusted partner, helping you stay compliant, reduce errors, and keep your people paid correctly and on time. Services typically include:
- Payroll processing for weekly, fortnightly, or monthly schedules
- Real Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC
- Auto-Enrolment support and pension scheme integration
- Payslip generation and distribution
- End-of-year reporting and P60 production
- Advice on statutory payments like SSP, SMP, and SPP
- Audit trails and record-keeping support
At DCS Payroll, our payroll consultants provide all of the above and more. We take the time to get to know your business, your processes, and your team, so we can deliver a service that feels personal, not transactional.
Tailored Support for Every Business Size
Whether you run a small business or a growing enterprise, your payroll needs will be unique. That’s why we don’t offer off-the-shelf packages or rigid contracts. Instead, we listen, ask the right questions, and build a solution that works for you.
Some clients want to fully outsource their payroll, while others need occasional support with compliance or reporting. Whatever your situation, we can help you streamline your operations and avoid costly errors. This flexibility is why so many of our clients have worked with us for years.
Local Presence, National Reach
Although we work with businesses across the UK, we’re proud to have a strong presence in both Sunderland and Glasgow. Having offices in these cities allows us to maintain close relationships with local businesses while still offering a national-level service. Whether you’re based in the North East, Scotland, or anywhere in between, you’ll receive the same high level of service and personal support.
Our consultants are easily reachable by phone or email, and we’re always happy to explain processes, answer questions, or talk through changes to legislation. We believe in being approachable and helpful, not just technically accurate.
Compliance Made Easy
Staying on the right side of HMRC rules and pension regulations is essential for any business. But the rules change frequently, and it’s easy to fall behind. That’s where our experience really counts.
Our payroll consultants stay up to date with all current legislation and ensure that your business remains compliant at every stage. From correct tax calculations to workplace pension contributions and employee record-keeping, we handle it all so you don’t have to worry.
We also keep our clients informed of any upcoming changes, such as new thresholds, deadlines, or government requirements, so there are no surprises.
We Work as Part of Your Team
We’re more than just a payroll bureau. Our consultants become part of your extended team, working closely with you and your staff to deliver a seamless service. You won’t be bounced around a call centre or left chasing updates. Instead, you’ll have a consistent point of contact who understands your account and your goals.
This is one of the reasons we’ve maintained long-standing relationships with clients across sectors including healthcare, construction, education, manufacturing, hospitality, and professional services.
Thinking of Making a Change?
If you’re currently running your own payroll or using a provider that isn’t meeting your needs, now is a good time to speak to our team. Switching doesn’t have to be stressful. Our consultants can guide you through the process, take over the admin, and ensure everything transitions smoothly.
We’ll offer a simple, transparent quote based on your requirements and explain exactly what’s included. There are no hidden fees or confusing contracts – just reliable, accurate payroll support from people who care.
