The PI Problem

Your client's Xero subscription
is your PI exposure.

Most accountant-managed payroll runs on software the client operates themselves. The accountant sold the subscription, the client runs the payroll, and everyone assumes the other one checked it.

Nobody checked it. Holiday pay is flat-rated. CIS deductions are assumed rather than verified. Worker status decisions are undocumented. When something goes wrong — an HMRC enquiry, a tribunal claim, a JSL challenge — the trail leads back to whoever was responsible for payroll. And the accountant's name is usually in that conversation.

bookd. changes the liability position. Compliance-grade payroll run by a specialist bureau, with a SHA-256 locked audit trail, means the evidence exists and the methodology is defensible. That's a materially different PI position for your practice.

  • Client-run payroll on Xero/QBO — no audit trail, no compliance record, PI exposure sits with whoever advised the setup.
  • Holiday pay flat-rated at 12.07% — wrong for variable-hours workers since 2020. FWA now enforcing. Backpay liability accumulating.
  • CIS deductions assumed rather than verified — applying 20% when 0% is correct, or vice versa. Contractor is liable. So is whoever ran the payroll.
  • bookd. white-label changes all of this — specialist bureau runs the compliance engine. SHA-256 evidence pack built on every run. Your practice delivers the output, not the risk.
  • You become the compliance win — practices that offer bookd.-powered payroll can genuinely say their clients' payroll is audit-ready. That's a differentiator most firms can't match.
