We have been using Crystal HR & Payroll Ltd since 2017 and it's been one of the best operational decisions we’ve made. What used to be a time-consuming process has become completely seamless, stress-free and has also freed up valuable internal resources. We don’t hesitate to recommend them to our contacts who may be looking to outsource their payroll services, to a company that will provide them with expertise, reliability and peace of mind.

I’ve had a really positive experience working with Crystal as a payroll partner.
While we’ve worked together on shared clients, the experience has been seamless from a client perspective, with payroll handled accurately, professionally and with minimal input needed, which is exactly what you want.
As an HR consultant, it’s incredibly valuable to have a trusted payroll provider I can confidently recommend. Knowing that my clients will be well looked after, and that payroll will be managed reliably and compliantly, gives me real peace of mind.
I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Crystal to other businesses looking for a dependable payroll partner.
We recently engaged Crystal HR & Payroll company following concerns about the accuracy and reliability of our previous outsourced provider, and the difference has been nothing short of exceptional.
Crystal conducted a comprehensive payroll and pension audit, giving us much-needed clarity and reassurance. Their thorough review uncovered a number of issues, which had previously been managed incorrectly.
What truly stood out was Crystal's diligence and commitment. They worked incredibly hard to complete the audit as quickly as possible without compromising on detail or accuracy. Throughout the process, their communication was clear, concise, and easy to follow, ensuring we fully understood both the issues identified and the steps required to resolve them.
Thanks to Crystal's expertise and professionalism, we now have complete confidence that our payroll and pensions are accurate and fully compliant. It’s such a huge relief to know we are now in such capable hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.

Hi Lucy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed revie, it’s genuinely appreciated.
We’re really pleased we could give you clarity and confidence around your payroll and pensions. Picking up issues from a previous provider is never ideal, but getting everything corrected and back on track is exactly what we’re here for.
Given the size of your payroll, it was important we got this right quickly without compromising on detail, so it’s great to hear that came across.
It was a pleasure working with your team throughout the audit, and we’re glad the process felt clear and straightforward from your side.
Thanks again for your trust and recommendation, it really means a lot to us.

Thank you Jeremy for such a great review. It's a pleasure working with you.
I have been using the services of Crystal HR & Payroll Ltd for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. The whole setup was surprisingly easy, and I appreciated how quickly they handled everything.
What I really liked was their customer support. Anytime I had a question, I could reach out, and they were always friendly and helpful. It gave me peace of mind knowing that I had someone to turn to when I needed assistance. Katie in particular, has always been very friendly, professional and helpful.
The online portal is user-friendly, which has made it easier for me to keep track of everything without feeling overwhelmed. Overall, this payroll service has saved me a lot of time and stress, allowing me to focus on other tasks. I definitely recommend giving them a try if you're looking for reliable payroll assistance!

We are a small charity and were looking for payroll support as we took on our first employee. Crystal HR and Payroll helped us navigate the payroll set-up, processing and pension rules which were unfamiliar to us. In the 2 years since then they have always had time to help us out with employee changes and payroll questions, and we have found them efficient and friendly. Most importantly for us as a charity they generously give their services to us free of charge. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
We’ve had a great experience working with this company. They respond quickly, communicate clearly, and maintain a personal, approachable style throughout. It's refreshing to work with a team that is both efficient and genuinely engaged. Highly recommended!

I really don't understand why this company has good reviews. Maybe they are fake. From my experience they are terrible. When you call you get put on hold as they don't know the answers to your questions, they charge you extortionate amounts of money to do things in comparison to what others would charge and they don't listen to your requests. Awful company and cannot wait for the contract to finally end. Stay clear

The team did a brilliant job when they visited Lodge Primary. Their presentation included real life scenarios. The children enjoyed working out tax, national insurance and learning about payroll. Pupils were inspired and learnt about various jobs they could aspire to. Thank you for taking the time to come.
