We know that dealing with payroll, pensions and all practical issues associated with employing staff is one of the most complex areas of owning a business. Ensuring that everyone employed is paid on time, receives the correct amount, and has appropriate deductions made, is vital. In our opinion, dealing with the payment of wages and salaries of client staff are perhaps the most important services we deliver to our clients.
Starting with a team of two payroll administrators, we now operate a team of 12 and our client base has more than tripled in recent years. Our expanding team of knowledgeable specialists are there to support our clients in dealing with all the everyday issues associated with employing staff. Think of them as your Virtual Finance Office (VFO), taking away the burden of everything payroll related so you can use your time more profitably and concentrate on your business.
As of May 2023, we deal with 380 payrolls and process 5360 payslips each month. Our level of support is tailored to your business as we understand that every company is different. Our VFO can deal with payroll for one person (perhaps a director of a limited company) or payrolls for larger employers.
Not only can they save you time, but they can often save you money as most businesses can often reduce costs by outsourcing their payroll function. Our costs are extremely competitive, always agreed in advance and the average monthly cost per employee can be as low as £3.
We can fully manage your payroll function and give you a dedicated account handler who will be able to answer any questions you may have. You will have constant communication and flexibility when you need it, as we understand the pressures of time in your business.
Our extremely knowledgeable VFO are best placed to deal with your needs and can help in a variety of ways, including but not limited to:
We are an approved bacs bureau which allows us to liase with your bank in processing payments directly to employees’ bank accounts. Changes are managed efficiently and all clients receive full reports for their records.
Whether you process your payroll in-house or externally, we can offer a personal, tailored alternative, at a time that suits you. One of our VFO can talk you through the ease of changing to Amber Accounting and how it would benefit you. To discuss your requirements and find out how we can help you, contact our team today.
I have liaised with Amber for 4 years for all our payroll needs. Every interaction has been met with a swift resolve and professionalism. Would strongly recommend.
Brechin Day Care
Having outsourced our payroll for many years the task of transferring to a new provider in early 2020 seemed daunting, but it was seamless and effective. Amber offers a professional, friendly service, ensuring deadlines are met as well as offering clear and concise advice when needed. A key point for me is having a dedicated point of contact, who quickly understands the needs of your business, this continuity is vital. The service is of a constantly high standard, I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We use Amber for our monthly payroll. The service they provide is fantastic. They are efficient, accurate and extremely knowledgeable.

Colin Curran General Manager, Kirktown Garden Centre
Amber Accounting Services has been providing payroll and bookkeeping services to our charity for a few years. After an organisational-wide audit, we discovered discrepancies in our pension arrangements. We approached Amber Accounting Services to assist us in addressing the identified issues. They were very prompt to provide support, while offering discretion, advice, and guidance throughout the process. Within less than two months, the identified issues were addressed with relevant bodies notified and content with our approach and its outcome. Amber Accounting Services is more than just a reliable payroll and bookkeeping provider, it’s an organisation you can put your trust in.
Amber Accounting process our payroll and the level of service is first class. What’s good about the service is that we have our own personal contact who is always available to help out with our queries and nothing is a bother to Becky.

Would highly recommend the Amber team for your payroll needs.
