“As a small business, BrightPay has
enabled us to keep control of payroll
processes in house. We are definitely
more efficient despite the increasing
demands of auto enrolment. Very
satisfied with BrightPay.”
Penny Quilter, Quilters
“I love how user friendly BrightPay is for both CIS and
Payroll. People tell me to use an accountant because
they think that it is easier. It is a false pretence and with
this software it makes you feel like a pro with its simple
functionality. All reports are easy to find and tailor.
Being able to email all documents is truly great, add in
time saving and environmentally friendly. The amount
we pay as a company to BrightPay is justified and I
always recommend them.”
Sarah King, Sherborne Utilities Ltd

flexible than before having to pass all the info to the bureau for a
certain date it’s a dream. If you’re thinking about it, do it you’ll save
a fortune.”
