Our bureau in Pretoria runs 10 UK client payrolls on it and pay day has never once slipped. New tax year updates arrive seamlessly with the rates already right. Our bureau would not run without it.
Pros
Statutory pay correct first time; seamless new tax year updates

Great software navigating its own cloud migration with mixed grace. Support waits stretched during the transition rush.
Pros
HMRC recognised RTI that never fails
Cons
UK and Irish legislation only

The engine is flawless, the era change around it less so. Support waits stretched during the transition rush. It is UK and Irish legislation only, an SA employer needs local software.
Pros
Polished payslip layouts
Cons
Desktop retirement forces migration

The pension submissions to NEST and Smart go automatically after every run. New tax year updates arrive seamlessly with the rates already right. Journal exports post into Xero and FreeAgent for the clients on cloud books.
Pros
Statutory pay correct first time
Cons
History migration needs checking

CIS handling for construction clients works properly, which UK software often fumbles. The employee app shows payslips, P60s and leave without a single email from us. If you serve UK clients from SA, this is the standard for a reason.
Pros
Client portals for approvals

Great software navigating its own cloud migration with mixed grace. The price per client is low enough that small employers stay profitable to serve.
Pros
Polished payslip layouts
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

We process UK payroll for British accounting firms and BrightPay is the tool of that trade. Journal exports post into Xero and FreeAgent for the clients on cloud books.

We love the product and squint at the new pricing model. New tax year updates arrive seamlessly with the rates already right.
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

Year end P60s across the whole client book took an afternoon. Furlough era complexity was handled quickly, which earned lasting trust.
Pros
Auto enrolment with major UK providers; cIS for construction clients

We love the product and squint at the new pricing model. Our quote for the cloud came in higher than the old desktop licence, noticeably. Desktop dies with the 2025 to 26 tax year and not everyone is ready.
Pros
Client portals for approvals; statutory pay correct first time
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

After 4 years of desktop comfort the cloud move asks patience of us. The calculator based cloud pricing makes budgeting a guessing game until the quote lands. HMRC recognition means submissions just work, no middleware, no prayers.
Cons
UK and Irish legislation only

We process UK payroll for British accounting firms and BrightPay is the tool of that trade. New tax year updates arrive seamlessly with the rates already right. UK payroll processed from Durban, professionally, profitably, calmly.
Pros
Auto enrolment with major UK providers
Cons
Cloud pricing needs a calculator quote

Excellent for UK work, and obviously it does nothing for SA payrolls. It is UK and Irish legislation only, an SA employer needs local software. Furlough era complexity was handled quickly, which earned lasting trust.
Pros
Statutory pay correct first time; specialist support that answers fast
Cons
Desktop retirement forces migration

We onboarded a new UK client book of thirty employers in a fortnight. If you serve UK clients from SA, this is the standard for a reason.
Pros
Auto enrolment with major UK providers; bureau licence covers unlimited employers

The pension submissions to NEST and Smart go automatically after every run. The client portal lets UK employers approve timesheets in their own morning.
Pros
Statutory pay correct first time
Karabo Radebe

The bureau licence covering unlimited employers is the best value in payroll anywhere. The client portal lets UK employers approve timesheets in their own morning. The employee app shows payslips, P60s and leave without a single email from us. Worth every pound of the licence, and it is not many pounds.
Pros
Journal export to Xero and FreeAgent; statutory pay correct first time
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.
Cons
Migration landed on busy season
