Payroll and CIS
Weekly, monthly and CIS payroll, from a handful of staff to several thousand.
We go to marketso you don't.
Horizon is a broker. You tell us the requirement once. We handle the market, negotiate the terms, and introduce you to the provider that fits.
More than an introduction.
Three stages between your first call and a provider starting work.
You choose, and contract with them directly.

We learn how you run
What you need, at what scale, and what's gone wrong before. This detail decides whether the rate you're quoted reflects your actual requirements.
-
We secure the best rate for your business
We know what this market charges and deal directly with the people who set pricing. You get a rate quoted for your business, not the one everyone else is offered.
-
We check it stands up
Credentials, insurance, capacity and references, and that what's proposed covers your obligations.
Why use a broker
A single enquiry gets you a single quote. We approach the market on your behalf, negotiate directly with the people who set pricing, and check each provider stands up before we put them in front of you.
Going direct
- One quote from one provider
- The advertised rate card
- Vetting is on you
- A separate search for every service
Through Horizon
- Comparative options across the market
- Rates negotiated on your behalf
- Credentials, insurance and compliance checked
- One conversation covers every service
The services we offer.
In each case we take your requirements to the specialists worth your time and put you in front of the right one.
Accounts and payments
Providers who underwrite the business rather than the sector code, and open in days.
Accounting
Year-end accounts, bookkeeping, VAT, corporation tax and management accounts.
Company formation
Incorporation and everything that has to follow it.

Accounts and payments
Banking shouldn't be the thing holding you back.
Weeks to open an account. Refusals with no explanation. Currency payments priced as an afterthought. For a growing business none of that is a minor inconvenience, it decides whether you can invoice, pay suppliers or take on the next contract.
We know which providers say yes to which businesses, and how quickly. We make the introduction; they handle the application.
Book a call- Accounts open and usable inside a week
- Full compliance, handled in days
- Multi-currency accounts and supplier payments without the spread
If you've been turned down, tell us why. It's usually fixable, and it's usually not the reason you were given.
Set up once, set up properly.
Incorporation is the easy part. What follows it, the account, the accountant, the payroll scheme, the VAT registration, is where new companies lose weeks.
Incorporate
Registered at Companies House, with a registered office address if you need one.
Register
VAT, PAYE and CIS where they apply, in the right order and ahead of the deadlines that catch people out.
Set up
Account, accountant and payroll introduced and running before your first invoice.
CIS compliance
CIS without the headaches
Engaging sole traders and self-employed tradespeople carries risk that standard payroll doesn't. We match you with providers working under CIS daily, and make sure the setup suits your workforce.
Employment status
Employed, self-employed or CIS. The determination that carries the greatest risk, assessed on the facts of each engagement.
Contracts
Every individual on the agreement that reflects how they actually work.
Subcontractor verification
Completed with HMRC before the first payment, so deductions are made at the correct rate from the outset.
Monthly returns and deduction statements
Filed on time, with statements issued to every subcontractor.
Gross payment status
Whether your subcontractors qualify, and what that changes for your deductions.
Domestic reverse charge VAT
Applied correctly on construction services, where errors are common.
Mixed payrolls
PAYE staff, CIS subcontractors and agency workers on one system.
Not sure which of these apply to your workforce?
Book a call
Complexity doesn't have to sit with your team.
Payslips, submissions, statutory pay and year-end, handled by the provider rather than your team.
- A handful of staff to several thousand, weekly, fortnightly or monthly
- Processing, submissions and employee queries off your desk
- RTI, auto-enrolment, statutory payments and year-end filed on time
Switching is more straightforward than people expect.
Businesses stay with a setup that isn't working because they expect the move to be disruptive. We manage the handover.
- Notice periods, data requests and the conversation with your current provider
- Timed between pay cycles, so no payment is at risk
- Same pay, same day, throughout
Every industry has its own requirements.
We match you with providers already working in yours.
Property and construction
CIS, subcontractor verification, retentions and irregular cash flow.
Agricultural
Seasonal and casual workforces, subsidy accounting, payroll built around the season.
Healthcare
Locum and bank staff payroll, NHS pensions, practice accounts.
Public sector
Procurement rules, framework agreements and public reporting.
Financial services
Regulated reporting, client money handling, documentation to supervisory standard.
