Helping Contractors Choose the Right Payroll — With Confidence
At Contractor Helper, we believe contractors deserve both compliance and choice. That’s why we guide you through selecting a payroll company that not only meets HMRC standards, but also suits your personal and financial preferences — whether that’s weekly pay, transparent margins, or specialist support for your sector.
Our team checks every provider we recommend against key benchmarks for compliance, including up-to-date HMRC regulations, IR35 readiness, and industry best practices (like FCSA or Professional Passport accreditation). You’ll only ever be introduced to providers who put your earnings, your tax status, and your peace of mind first.
And while recruitment agencies may have preferred payroll partners, it's important to remember: as long as your provider is fully compliant, there’s a strong case for your choice being accepted. We help you present that case clearly and professionally, working with you and the agency to ensure everything runs smoothly from day one.
