Payroll Bureau Software

Hi, Im sure this has been asked on here many, many times, but I can't find a recent response in the search tab! I'm also a newly qualified bookkeeper, so m allowed to ask simple questions!

I am about to take on my first client, who has one PAYE employee. She is leaving her existing accountancy firm who run her payroll, and wants a bookkeeper for the day to day stuff.

Can anyone suggest a decent and not too expensive payroll bureau software? It's a bit confusing when I look online.

Furthermore, I have my own company, not accountancy related and pay my two staff members through Quickbooks Payroll, but obviously I cannot pay a bookkeeping clients' payroll through this, so I'm looking to move both companies payroll to one bureau.

Sage is obviously the most well known one, but there are so many out there. Any advice much appreciated.

Brightpay allows for payments to employees.

I switched to using https://acupowererp.com/acumatica/field-services because I needed something that could handle both payroll and field service teams in one place. It's been smooth to set up shifts, sort timesheets, and manage people who aren't always in the office. Before that, juggling spreadsheets and payroll software felt like double work. This setup’s made things a lot clearer and easier for me.
