Before partnering with Crystal Payroll, we had spent months comparing various payroll systems, and we decided to go with Crystal Payroll as they have a very competitive price plan, also a system that can handle various payroll requirements.

Our practice has used Crystal Payroll for the last 6 years for ourselves as well as out clients, we have found the payroll system to be very user friendly, flexible, and reliable, and is ideally suited to the requirements of SMEs.

I have put numerous clients onto Crystal Payroll over the years. Processing payroll through Crystal Payroll is time efficient, easy to use and easy to understand. Being local and the real producers of the software is extremely valuable. Takes the hassle out of payroll and PAYE.

Crystal Payroll ticked all the boxes and now all our payrolls are prepared using Crystal. We love that Crystal will file the IR schedules on time each month and using the direct debit service, make sure that payment is made on time, every time. Our clients love that too!

I changed my practice over to Crystal payroll 4 years ago and I am very happy with this choice. So far, I have always managed to get the pays correct; however complex the pay. The support team is amazing, friendly, and very responsive. The company is great at listening to and incorporating feedback. This makes me feel confident to recommend Crystal payroll to fellow bookkeepers and clients.
