Case Study

Clients save 90% on payroll with Accounting Matters

Accounting Matters, a Derbyshire-based firm serving motor, trade and hospitality clients, is known for its personal touch in services and client relationships.  

Previously, their payroll services for paying clients' employees were costly and inflexible. They required 40 hours' notice for any amendments, and adding employees or processing multiple spreadsheets came with high fees. This inefficient system not only cost the firm's clients over £100 plus VAT each month, but it also increased the risk of errors from manually inputting figures into bank transfers. 

Switching to Modulr’s BrightPay integration simplified their payroll processes and came as a breath of fresh air for the firm, “The integration is so straightforward and simple”.

Reduction in costs

Accounting Matters’ previous payroll provider required lengthy notice periods, incurred high fees for adding employees, and had a complex payment process that was prone to errors.  

Modulr’s BrightPay integration addressed these issues by offering a streamlined platform where payments could be adjusted swiftly, and the overall process became more transparent for the firm and its clients, “With Modulr we can now confidently ensure our client’s staff are paid on time, every time. So that takes a job away from them”. 

Time Saving

The service allowed the firm to reclaim four hours per month and redirect their focus to other areas of their business, “Over the course of the month, I have gained four extra hours back through using Modulr”. Clients appreciate the streamlined process, making the most of quicker adjustments and the ability to transfer money just a day before payroll, which enhances client satisfaction. 

“Over the course of the month, I’ve gained four extra hours back through using Modulr and the service has also proved to be 90% cheaper than our previous method of processing payroll."

Efficiency in payroll management

Modulr’s BrightPay integration makes it quick and easy to adjust payments which has transformed Accounting Matters' payroll process: "I can even adjust the pay within a 2-hour period." This efficiency is critical for their clients who pay large volumes of staff and must often make last-minute changes such as businesses operating in the hospitality sector. With Modulr, the firm can ensure accurate and timely payment to a client with over 80 staff members across various businesses, reducing stress and increasing client satisfaction. Transitioning to Modulr was a game-changer. The firm now confidently assures clients that their staff will be paid on time, reducing the stress associated with payroll processing.“I was able to reproduce the pay slip in Modulr, there’s no messing about with figures”. 

Cost-effectiveness
