For Wildflower Turf, ensuring their payroll runs smoothly is crucial for their growing business. With a 28 person payroll, covering salaries, allowances, and expenses, they needed an efficient and accurate payroll process. That’s where Brook Financial (part of Old Mill) stepped in to provide expert payroll and auto-enrolment services.

“Brook has transformed the way we handle payroll. Their expertise and streamlined approach mean we save time and reduce the risk of human error.” – Wildflower Turf

Since September 2024, Old Mill has been working with Wildflower Turf to manage their monthly payroll efficiently. When Wildflower first engaged with us, they were using an outdated spreadsheet, which required extensive manual input. We adjusted the spreadsheet to be compatible with our payroll software, allowing for seamless importing of payroll data.

This adjustment has had significant benefits, including:

• Minimising the need for repeated data entry,
• Reducing the risk of human error,
• Ensuring the payroll system remains efficient and easy to use.

“We worked closely with Wildflower Turf to ensure the new system not only streamlined their payroll but also met their specific business needs.” – Abi Marsh, Client Manager at Brook

Once payroll is processed, it goes through an approval process, and we manage pension contributions by submitting them to the pension provider every month and taking care of declarations when needed.

“The team at Old Mill are always on top of things. They make sure approvals are completed smoothly and deadlines are met, so there’s never a last-minute rush.” – Wildflower Turf.

Brook’s payroll team administers Wildflower Turf’s workplace pension scheme, ensuring compliance with all auto-enrolment requirements. We handle:

– Enrolment of new joiners,

– Submission of monthly contributions,

– Managing a complex pension system with accuracy and efficiency.

By taking on this responsibility, we help Wildflower Turf remain compliant while freeing up their internal team to focus on other business priorities.

Wildflower Turf uses Modulr, a net pay solution for employee wage payments. Modulr integrates directly with our payroll system, allowing for smooth and efficient processing.  With this solution:

• The client authorises payroll payments each period, ensuring accuracy,
• Manual data entry onto the bank is not required,
• The risk of errors and the pressure of end-of-month payment deadlines are significantly reduced.

Using Modulr means no more updating bank templates or manual payment processing.  Everything is quick, easy, and secure.

In addition to payroll, Wildflower Turf benefits from Brook Financial expertise in management accounts & Old Mill’s wider accountancy, tax and financial planning services. With our end-to-end financial support, Wildflower Turf has greater control over their finances, ensuring they can make informed business decisions with confidence.

With Old Mill’s payroll and financial expertise, Wildflower Turf can focus on what they do best—providing high-quality turf solutions. Our goal is to make payroll effortless, accurate, and stress-free every month while supporting their broader financial needs
