Welcome to my website

As a renowned lecturer, consultant and writer with extensive industry expertise, I have worked on numerous payroll audits and consultancy projects across a wider variety of sectors and industries. With a background in managing one of the largest payrolls in the country, I also advise on how to develop high performing payroll and HR teams and supporting payroll apprentices.

I am passionate about the importance of our profession and investing in the development of current and future payroll personnel. This is something which I advocate strongly through my role as a lobbyist, working with government bodies and through my advisory roles in my wider network. The depth of my experience and breadth of my relationships across the payroll industry has meant I am increasingly sought after for both my training and consultancy skills by agents and employers.

Take a look at how I can help, my thoughts and tips on the latest payroll issues or my upcoming courses using the tabs above.

Not sure if you need support? Start by asking yourself the following questions.

Are you effectively managing the largest cost to your organisation – the salary bill?

Are you utilising all opportunities to mitigate risk as well as cost?

Are your payroll and HR systems, procedures and policies legally compliant, following industry best practice and are they cost effective?

Are your payroll and HR teams fully conversant with current legislation and future developments?

Do they feel supported and motivated against a backdrop of increasing demands to upskill and absorb new areas of expertise such as pensions?

Are all your employees motivated because they are always paid accurately and on time?

Are there systems and process issues that hold you back?

What is the risk to your reputation and potential cost to your organisation of getting it wrong?
