Hayley Whitten, MCIPP
Founder | Senior Payroll Specialist
Hayley has many years experience of in running a business as well as managing payrolls of a myriad of sizes and software.
The idea of providing payroll services came from known business contacts approaching Hayley wanting to find a quality payroll solution for their business, who didn't have the time or skills to run a payroll for themselves in-house. Hayley's background in office management, financial control and payroll before starting her own business was invaluable, utilising all these skills to offer a supportive role to clients beyond payroll, as well as to her own business, with an in-depth understanding of the challenges facing SME's.
Hayley keeps up with legislative changes in payroll and automatic enrolment pensions and is our go-to expert on all things payroll and pensions, and has many nicknames within the team from the Payroll Oracle to the Payroll Yoda. Over the years, Hayley has imparted her knowledge to payroll software developers to assist in improving software features/modules, functionality and compliance.
Once the youngest in the business, after 23 years now the eldest, Hayley is looking to the future and loves to develop the next generation of payroll professionals/specialists.
Hayley's payroll knowledge and experience meant she gained full membership with the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) since 2001.
