She leads the firm’s HR and payroll services, advising business owners on statutory obligations, employee matters and complex payroll requirements with clarity and confidence.

Tena takes away the burden of automatic enrolment and pension administration ensuring your company is compliant.

Visionary Accountants have completely taken the pain out of the payroll process allowing us to focus on running our business. Their specialist knowledge of the technicalities of payroll including pension auto-enrolment has given us the confidence that we are complying with government requirements without us becoming experts ourselves. Their communication is excellent and we know in good time what we need to pay and when we need to pay it without any nasty surprises. We like the paperless approach too. All reports are securely sent electronically and employees receive payslips and other documentation via a secure portal. All in all, an excellent service.”
