People and books on two continents? We run both, in step.
Paying staff and keeping the books in the UK and the US means two payroll systems, two sets of statutory rules and two reporting calendars. We handle both so your people are paid correctly and your accounts stand up to scrutiny on either side.
Two rulebooks for the same team
UK payroll runs on PAYE and real-time reporting to HMRC; US payroll layers federal, state and sometimes local withholding on top of each other. Meanwhile your accounts have to satisfy Companies House and HMRC in the UK and different standards in the US. Run separately, they duplicate work and drift out of sync. We keep them aligned.
Payroll and books, both jurisdictions
Three steps, one team
Set up clean processes
We get both payrolls and both ledgers onto a consistent footing so the data flows rather than being re-keyed.
Run the cycles
We process pay runs, submit to HMRC and the US authorities on time, and keep the books current on both sides.
Report the whole picture
We produce statutory accounts where required and management accounts that consolidate both entities so you see the group clearly.
The things clients ask first
Can you run payroll in both countries?
Yes — that’s the point of doing it under one roof. UK PAYE/RTI and US federal and state payroll are handled together so employees on either side are paid and reported correctly.
Do you file our UK statutory accounts?
Yes, where required — we prepare and file with Companies House and handle the corporation tax side, and can produce US-side accounts to the relevant standard too.
Can we see one consolidated view of the group?
Yes. Even though the statutory books are separate, we produce management accounts that bring both entities together so you’re not stitching spreadsheets yourself.
Hand over the payroll and the books — both sides.
