We run contractor pay, payroll and the finance function for businesses in the UK.

Paying people in the UK means PAYE, National Insurance and pension auto-enrolment. Running a company here adds VAT, corporation tax, Companies House filings and books that have to stand up at year end.

For a business new to the UK, or one growing faster than its finance team, that is a long list of deadlines with penalties attached. GS Finance takes it on as one team, from the first payroll to the year-end accounts.

What we do

Contractor pay through our umbrella service, and an outsourced finance function for companies that need one.

Contractor pay
Umbrella employment for contractors working in the UK, with PAYE, National Insurance and pension handled every pay run.
Payroll
Monthly payroll, payslips, pension auto-enrolment, statutory pay and HMRC submissions.
Bookkeeping
Income and expenses, bank reconciliations, supplier invoices and customer receipts, kept up to date.
VAT and tax
Registrations, VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, corporation tax and the HMRC calendar.
Accounts and reporting
Year-end accounts, Companies House filings, management accounts and cash flow.
Advice
Tax planning, R&D tax credits, forecasting and preparing for investment.

Where we come in

  • You are opening in the UK and need payroll running before your first hire starts.
  • Contractors need paying correctly and on time, with tax and pension taken care of.
  • The books are behind, and the year end is getting closer.
  • VAT returns, payroll and filing deadlines all land on the same few people.
  • You need monthly figures you can run the business on.
  • Payroll, bookkeeping and tax sit with three different suppliers, and nobody owns the whole picture.

Three levels of support

Each is a monthly service, scoped to the size of your company. Contractor pay is set up separately, per contractor.
