Payroll shouldn’t take over your team’s time.
Terra Global Partners provides payroll outsourcing support for UK accounting firms. From payroll processing and tax calculations to statutory filings, year-end work and employee records, we handle the detailed work behind each payroll, so your team can stay focused on clients.
We’re here to support your practice
Payroll support that works around your practice
Payroll is recurring, deadline-driven work where even small mistakes can cause problems. We work around your existing processes, taking care of the detail and giving your team extra capacity when you need it.
Support across PAYE calculations, National Insurance, statutory payments, pensions, RTI submissions, year-end processing and employee records.
Support for multi-state payroll, federal, state and local payroll tax calculations, Form 941 preparation, W-2 and W-3 processing, 1099s and related payroll requirements.
Manage recurring payroll processing, records, deductions, reporting and agreed payroll administration while keeping your practice in control of the client relationship.
Who we work with
You provide payroll services to clients but need additional capacity to manage recurring payroll processing and compliance work.
Your payroll workload is increasing as you take on more clients, and you need dependable support without expanding your internal team.
The payroll challenges we solve
Managing recurring deadlines
Payroll has to be processed on schedule, regardless of how busy the rest of your accounting practice becomes.
Getting payroll calculations right
Tax, National Insurance, deductions, statutory payments and other payroll calculations all need careful handling before payroll is finalised.
Keeping up with requirements
Payroll teams need to keep track of changing employee information, tax requirements, reporting obligations and filing requirements.
Keeping your team available
Routine payroll work can absorb experienced staff time that could otherwise be spent on client advice, review and higher-value services.
The Terra Global approach
We take responsibility for the agreed payroll activities while keeping your team involved in the review, approval and client decisions that stay with you.

Confidentiality & process
Payroll involves some of the most sensitive information a business holds. We keep access controlled and responsibilities clearly defined throughout the agreed payroll process.
Payroll information is handled within the agreed process, with access limited to the team members responsible for the work.
Payslips, payroll files and supporting information are handled through the agreed secure channels and working environment.
Your team knows what stays with you and what our payroll team is responsible for, helping reduce unnecessary access and confusion.
Confidentiality agreements and structured processes support the careful handling of payroll information throughout the engagement.
Smarter payroll management
We handle agreed payroll activities straightforwardly, reducing processing pressure without disrupting your existing service model.
Use it for support with specific payroll activities, recurring processing, year-end work or a broader payroll management requirement.
Our payroll service complements your accounting team, allowing you to retain client ownership while we manage agreed operational work.
Add payroll capacity as client numbers, pay frequencies or payroll requirements increase without immediately expanding your internal team.
