Case Study: Whittles Chartered Accountants achieves cost savings and seamless remote payroll with Bright

Whittles Chartered Accountants - Customer Case Study

Whittles Chartered Accountants, a firm serving individual and SME clients since 1991, needed a new payroll solution after problems with IRIS Bureau on their remote server and proposed extra charges for emailed payslips and auto enrolment that would have doubled fees for a charity client. After researching alternatives and recommendations, Whittles trialed BrightPay from Bright to find a payroll product that would run on a remote server, support multiple screens, handle RTI and auto‑enrolment, and deliver emailed payslips and standard reports.

Bright implemented BrightPay across Whittles’ payrolls, proving reliable on a remote server and simple for staff to use. The switch let Whittles continue offering the same payroll services while avoiding the extra IRIS charges, keeping client fees competitive; staff and clients now receive clear emailed payslips and P60s. Bright’s solution delivered measurable cost savings (preventing the proposed fee increase for the charity client) with only minimal changes in processing time and further time savings expected from upcoming tax‑code import features.
