In short
Outsourcing payroll to Buffalo Payroll takes three steps: contact us for a quote, send us your employee and HMRC details so we can set you up, then send pay changes each period. We run the payroll, file with HMRC, handle pensions and publish payslips to an online portal.

Getting started
1. Contact us
Call 0161 823 8363, email hello@buffalopayroll.co.uk or use the quote form. Tell us how many people you pay and how often, and we'll come back within one business day.
2. Consultation and customisation
We'll talk through your business, employees, pay frequency, pensions and anything unusual, such as CIS, benefits in kind or salary sacrifice, and confirm your price.
3. Onboarding and set-up
We set up your company profile, employee records and tax information, import year-to-date figures if you're switching provider, and give you access to your payroll portal. Onboarding typically takes days, not months.
Every pay period
- Send your changes: hours, overtime, bonuses, starters, leavers and absences.
- We process and check your payroll, then send you a summary to approve.
- Payslips are published and we submit RTI to HMRC and contributions to your pension provider.
- You pay your staff and HMRC using the reports we provide.
Every year
We produce P60s, make the final submissions for the tax year, apply the new April rates and thresholds, and handle pension re-enrolment every three years.
