Manage your business, not your payroll.
Running your own payroll takes time, energy and money. As well as getting the figures right, you also need to keep up to date with the latest rules and regulations. For this reason British Shops & Stores Association Limited (bssa) have joined forces with Bishop Fleming Chartered Accountants to provide a payroll service tailored to the needs of bssa’s members.
What can you save through outsourcing your payroll to Bishop Fleming?
We base our fees for the service on a scale of charges linked to employee numbers. We believe this to be the fairest way in which to levy a fee as this will provide economies of scale for increased employee headcount numbers, whilst also ensuring members will not be charged unduly for the service should employee headcount numbers decrease.
