Better Payroll Bureau Software for small businesses
Want to transform the way you run payroll? Looking for a UK Payroll software solution that’s easy to use and cost-effective? You’ve found it!


Managing payroll for clients is challenging and can often be stressful.
Our payroll software for payroll bureaus is cloud-based, which means it automatically brings many benefits for your firm:
- Backups in the cloud done for you automatically so you never lose any data
- Access the software from wherever you are – perfect for remote working, and makes it a breeze for your team to work together
- Cuts out the risks of emailing payroll documents to/from clients
- Our software automatically processes all HMRC notices such as Tax code changes
- No need to update software – improvements and annual updates are put live for your use automatically
While most payroll bureaus still use older, desktop-based software to run payroll, more and more firms are upgrading to cloud-based payroll software to take advantage of these benefits. And while there are several companies offering cloud-based payroll bureau software, they are all a little different.
After talking to hundreds of firms about their payroll needs, we have created software aimed at making it faster, simpler, safer and more profitable to run payroll for your clients.
Our software is suitable for all smaller firms of accountants, bookkeepers and payroll bureaus. Here’s why our payroll bureau software is the best for small businesses:
Our software will save you time
- You’ll have instant access to all the information you need to run payroll – no more chasing clients for data
- Your clients can enter their data themselves—and many will actually want to!
- Does all the tricky calculations which can take ages – pay for new starters and leavers mid-month, part time holiday calculations, and calculating sick and family leave pay
- Compares current pay runs with what has happened before, and warns you about possible errors, making it easy to avoid mistakes
“Since the move to Payroll Bureau the process has become more efficient and saves time processing payroll. Reduces errors and the need for duplication of employee data in two different systems.”
Our software reduces your risk
- We cut your risk of data entry errors by reducing the number of times data gets entered
- If one of your team is off sick unexpectedly, it’s easy to see what stage the payrolls they were running are at
- Our software is so easy to use that people with a little payroll knowledge but no experience on our software could pick it up straight away
- We have expert, friendly UK-based support over phone and/or email
- We have in-house employment solicitors who keep us on top of all changes in employment law so we can be the fastest to update our software, ensuring your clients always comply with the latest law
“I really like the way citrus communicates with us through monthly email updates. They have a truly human feel and aren’t corporate at all – they speak our language.”
