Bradford Community Payroll & Accounts Reviews 

I have been with this payroll for over 25 years now, and they have been fantastic to me. Everything I have asked of them, and payroll has done it ASAP I hope to be with them for another 25 years.

I have found this payroll bureau to be really helpful and responsive. I would be happy to recommend to others needing payroll support. Colin

We have been a customer of Bradford CPA for over 20 years. We were recently swayed to move to another payroll service that was miss sold to us. However all was not what is seemed and we have come back to Bradford CPA at very short notice. They could not have been any more accommodating. We will not be leaving them ever again. Best Payroll service around with the BEST team ever.

Bradford Community Payroll are a fantastic team, always providing a first-class service from day 1. They have done our charity's monthly salaries for the last 3 years and have always been accurate and professional. The staff are all very helpful, a special mention for Maya and Jodie. I would 100% recommend their services.

Bradford Community Payroll are absolutely fabulous. They have done our charity's monthly salaries for over 30 years and have always been efficient and professional. The staff are all very helpful and nothing is too much for them. I would recommend their services to EVERYONE.

We have used Bradford CPA since the spring of 2022.

At first, the documentation we received was clear and appropriate. Invoices were for actual amounts and specified what they were for.

Since then, there has been a mixture of Invoices, Estimates, Requests for Payment and Invoices for £0 marked “paid”. This has not been helpful.

Like most voluntary groups, we need to be able to report to funders the exact costs paid for by their grants. Estimates do not do this. They are of little use for accounts, which should be an accurate record of actual expenditure. Funders typically ask for a declaration that accounts of expenditure are accurate. Should a funder ask to see invoices/receipts and find that they are merely estimates, the committee/trustees of the group could be accused of misrepresentation.

Similarly, Invoices for £0 do not help. If an amount has already been paid, a Receipt should show this. If costs have not been fully and accurately invoiced, not only are the group’s accounting records compromised but any individuals who have advanced funds to help expedite their group’s activities cannot get full and accurate reimbursement.

Invoices should specify what goods or services are being supplied; yet some documents have included not only estimated costs of salary and fees but “shortfall on account”. This is not something that is being purchased. It should be on a Statement, not an Invoice.

It is unclear why CPA cannot hold a fixed amount on account (“a float”), pay costs out of this and simply invoice for the exact costs incurred. It is also a puzzle why clients have not been asked specifically whether they would prefer documentation to show exact costs rather than estimates.

Bradford Community Payroll are absolutely fantastic. Everything always runs smoothly and they are so happy to help when it is needed. We are so happy to have found BCP and we can't recommend them enough.

They are always very supportive of our ever-changing staffing needs and requirements.
They always provide detailed responses to our queries, questions, and the minutiae of payroll.

Maya and her team took the monkey off my back as treasurer of a small but growing foodbank charity the increasing demands on my time and experience are challenging. When we decided to employ a member of staff that is where my expertise ended. Knowing nothing about employment legislation or payroll we handed this function over to Bradford Community Payroll. I can not sing their praises loud enough. They make a treasurer's life much more manageable.

The team are always on hand to support us when we need advice and support. We always know we can pick up the phone and someone will give us advice. The team always communicate ahead of time when providing information. Thankyou Bradford CPA.

Bradford Community Payroll are always reliable and answer your questions promptly, even if they are stupid questions. We always feel safe working with them :)

Always prompt and informative service from the team and everything works like clockwork. Thanks!

Helpful support with payroll, there is always someone available to answer a query, everything is clear and easy.

CPA have managed our salaries and related processes for as long as I can remember. The staff are incredibly patient. Their standards are high and they always deliver on time and accurately!! They are a real asset to the voluntary sector and make my life so much easier than it could be!! Thank you to you all.

I cannot express just how much I have relied on this company. Their support, understanding, and professionalism are second to none, and they consistently go above and beyond.

Bradford Payroll truly could not do more for us. Even when I know I must test their patience, they remain brilliant — always polite, courteous, and willing to take the time to answer my questions, even when they know I have asked them before.

I cannot recommend them highly enough. Every member of the team gives far more than 100%, and their dedication and care genuinely make a difference.

They are clear on what they need from us and provide timely answers to questions closely related to payroll.

An excellent and trustworthy service that our charity has relied on for many years. The team are consistently friendly and extremely helpful, especially when I first began using them in my new role.

A fantastic freindly Team, very efficient and always helpfull. If we get another employee i will definelty look forward ton work with you again. the last 3 years have been a joy to work with you.
Thank you all Maya and the team for your hard work.
