Great software navigating its own cloud migration with mixed grace. The calculator based cloud pricing makes budgeting a guessing game until the quote lands.
Pros
Batch processing across employers; specialist support that answers fast
Cons
Desktop retirement forces migration

Superb payroll software in the middle of a platform transition. It is UK and Irish legislation only, an SA employer needs local software. Payslip layouts are polished enough that clients notice the upgrade.
Cons
Transition period support waits

After 8 years of desktop comfort the cloud move asks patience of us. Our quote for the cloud came in higher than the old desktop licence, noticeably.
Pros
Client portals for approvals
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

Excellent for UK work, and obviously it does nothing for SA payrolls. Some bureau workflows still feel smoother in the desktop version.
Cons
UK and Irish legislation only

Our UK clients' employees get payslips through the app and the queries dried up. Support turnaround on a technical statutory question was under an hour. The most reliable software in our entire practice stack.
Cons
Some workflows smoother on desktop still

The forced cloud migration landed in our busiest quarter. Tickets during the migration window took days instead of hours. Training the team on the cloud workflows cost a week we had not budgeted.
Pros
Polished payslip layouts
Cons
Migration landed on busy season

Auto enrolment used to terrify our juniors, the software walks them through it. HMRC recognition means submissions just work, no middleware, no prayers.

The forced cloud migration landed in our busiest quarter. The cloud quote for our book nearly doubled our software line.
Cons
Migration landed on busy season

CIS handling for construction clients works properly, which UK software often fumbles. New tax year updates arrive seamlessly with the rates already right. Worth every pound of the licence, and it is not many pounds.

Statutory sick pay, maternity, paternity, it calculates all of it correctly first time. HMRC recognition means submissions just work, no middleware, no prayers.
Pros
Journal export to Xero and FreeAgent
Cons
Desktop retirement forces migration

Great software navigating its own cloud migration with mixed grace. Migration of multi year client history to the cloud needed careful checking. Our quote for the cloud came in higher than the old desktop licence, noticeably.
Pros
HMRC recognised RTI that never fails; bureau licence covers unlimited employers
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

The bureau licence covering unlimited employers is the best value in payroll anywhere. Support turnaround on a technical statutory question was under an hour.
Pros
Journal export to Xero and FreeAgent
Cons
Some workflows smoother on desktop still

Superb payroll software in the middle of a platform transition. Desktop dies with the 2025 to 26 tax year and not everyone is ready. New tax year updates arrive seamlessly with the rates already right.
Pros
Polished payslip layouts; seamless new tax year updates

CIS handling for construction clients works properly, which UK software often fumbles. Automatic cloud backups ended the desktop backup discipline problem. Our bureau would not run without it.

The support team answers like payroll specialists because they are. The awards on their website are earned, we would add one.
Pros
Employee app for payslips and P60s

We love the product and squint at the new pricing model. Desktop dies with the 2025 to 26 tax year and not everyone is ready.
Pros
Client portals for approvals
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

After 2 years serving UK clients from South Africa, this software carries the practice. Support turnaround on a technical statutory question was under an hour. The price per client is low enough that small employers stay profitable to serve.
Deon Van Wyk

We process UK payroll for British accounting firms and BrightPay is the tool of that trade. Payslip layouts are polished enough that clients notice the upgrade.
Pros
Client portals for approvals; polished payslip layouts
