Bookd Finance Ltd is run by Mark Taylor — ICB Level 3 Payroll qualified, 20 years in professional kitchens, now building the payroll bureau that should have existed for trades and small businesses.
bookd. is a payroll and CIS bureau run by Mark Taylor, based in Andover, Hampshire. Small client base, direct founder access, monthly process that does not rely on you chasing it.
Mark spent twenty years in hospitality and kitchen management — running operational teams in high-volume environments where labour compliance, rota complexity and staff turnover were constants, not exceptions. Every payroll problem that construction and hospitality creates, he dealt with at scale before he ran a bureau.
After qualifying in payroll to ICB Level 3, Mark started bookd. to run the kind of bureau he wished had existed during those twenty years: one person, directly accountable, no account handoffs, a fixed process that works the same way every month.
Bookd Finance Ltd is based in Andover, Hampshire and supports clients across the South of England and UK-wide.
When something goes wrong — late RTI, wrong deduction rate, pension duty missed — the person who picks up the phone has usually never seen your payroll. They open a ticket. You chase. The problem recurs.
bookd. operates with a deliberately small client base. Every payroll is handled by Mark. Every query comes back to Mark. There is no escalation path because there is no need for one.
That is the structural difference, not a marketing claim.
Payroll data collected by WhatsApp or email on a fixed schedule each month. No portals, no logins, no chasing.
Every payroll reviewed before the RTI or CIS return leaves. Errors caught at processing, not after the submission.
Payslips, HMRC payment figures, pension amounts — all delivered in one clear summary so you know exactly what to pay and when.
No AI agent holds write access to HMRC. Every submission requires human sign-off. That is not a feature — it is how the whole thing is built.
The liability stays where it should: with a qualified human, before anything reaches HMRC.
