Keep the client relationship. Remove the payroll burden. Bookd runs payroll and CIS behind your firm through a UK-based, compliance-led bureau model built on bookd.OS.
PAYE. RTI. CIS. Pensions. Starters. Leavers. Reports. Human review before submission.
Most accountants know the truth.
Payroll is deadline-heavy, detail-sensitive and unforgiving. Clients expect it to be done. Staff do not always want to touch it. Margins are often thin. Mistakes damage the relationship.
The problem gets worse when CIS is involved. Subcontractor deductions, verification, statements, monthly returns and client questions turn a small payroll into a recurring operational drag.
Bookd gives accountancy firms a way to keep the client relationship without carrying the payroll machine internally.
Bookd provides white-label payroll and CIS bureau support for accountants and bookkeepers. You decide how visible Bookd is. The client stays yours. The payroll delivery gets controlled.
Hiring payroll staff adds cost, management and risk. Bookd gives you bureau capacity without building the department.
Construction clients bring subcontractors, deductions, verification and monthly returns. Bookd is built with CIS in mind, not bolted on.
Your firm retains the client relationship while Bookd handles the operational payroll work behind the scenes. Invisible to your clients.
Technology supports the process, but final review matters. Bookd keeps human oversight before HMRC-facing submissions. Every run.
Designed to let accountants protect margin while removing work that does not belong on senior desks.
Onboarding, inputs, approvals, exception checks and reports handled through a repeatable workflow. Not inbox chaos.
You do not need to move your whole payroll book.
Start with one client your team would happily get off the desk. Bookd processes it through a controlled workflow. You see how the relationship works. Then we discuss volume.
Usually that means:
Select one client. We onboard and process the first run. You review the output and deliver it under your brand. If it works, we build from there.
Payroll outsourcing only works when trust is engineered into the process. The pilot is where that trust gets built.
Start a one-client pilotThe full payroll and CIS function. Clean handoff, controlled approvals, reporting discipline and optional white-label delivery.
Designed to let accountants protect margin while removing work that does not belong on senior desks.
