Save time paying your staff

Stephenson Smart have partnered with Modulr to enable us to pay your staff on behalf of your business. We are also able to send payments to HMRC and councils to pay liabilities that arise due to being an employer.

Making sure your employees are paid on time, every time is critical, but the admin involved can be complex and stressful. With Modulr, we can prepare payments securely on your behalf – we can even set it all up for you.
