An impressive local firm but with strong international links

Owner-managed businesses need important issues addressed and resolved quickly and that is the focus of the Grant Thornton teams.

We achieve this immediacy by building one to one partner relationships which allow business owners, together with their managers and stakeholders, if appropriate, to have quick access to the information and advice they need.

A focus on payroll

Getting your payroll calculated correctly is probably one of the most important tasks within your business. It’s one of those services which can sometimes be underestimated.

If you get it right, it’s expected. If it goes wrong, you definitely know about it!

Some businesses don’t have the capacity to dedicate resources to understanding and keeping up to date with the relevant tax and social security legislations. We are here to help. Some businesses choose to outsource this function to reduce their risk and focus on what they do best. We too, are here to help. No matter how big or small your employee base is, whether you pay weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually, we can help support this process.

What can we do:

  • Guernsey and Jersey payroll processing
  • Guernsey and Jersey monthly and quarterly submissions
  • E-payslips (or paper based if preferred)
  • Secure data transmission utilising our client portal
  • Supporting with electronic salary payments to employees and the relevant Authorities
