Brilliant company

I honestly can't believe such a brilliant company exists and that their software is free. Collegia FreePayroll is amazing. Their website is so user friendly, it couldn't be easier to use, it is so efficient and the customer service is brilliant. 10/10 would recommend (and have done!) wholeheartedly.

Excellent support, on free or paid plans

We have used FreePayroll for several months and recently upgraded our plan as we wanted to record employee absences. What really struck me is that the level of support from the Collegia team is excellent, on both free and paid plans, not like some tools where you need to pay to get good support.

Fast helpful experience

Really helpful experience. I received a confusing email from HMRC and they quickly put my mind at rest.

The chat at the bottom of the screen made it really easy to get in touch. It initially started with an AI assistant, but I was quickly passed over to a real person without even having to ask, which was a relief.

Christine was great ,quick, easy and reassuring. Exactly what I needed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a great experience with FreePayroll, especially with Elis, who was extremely helpful and professional in assisting me with getting my P45.

Elis was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the process clearly. They guided me through everything I needed to do and made what could have been a stressful process feel very straightforward.

I really appreciate the excellent customer service and support. Thank you, Elis, for your help and professionalism!

Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Axel was excellent

Axel was excellent. Helped me to work out an issue with a new staff member being added to the payroll. I was worried that the issue would not be rectified in time for the payrun, as the initial message that popped up said that there's up to a 24 hour response time. Thanks to Axel, the issue was addressed within minutes, so I'm very grateful for that.

Easy to use and helpful software

The software is easy to set up and use with automatic filings for HMRC and pensions enrolment. Freepayroll makes it as easy as possible for small businesses to meet their employer obligations. I appreciate the fact that the chat widget is not just AI - it's staffed by real people at the other end who are determined to help you. It makes everything much less stressful for monthly submissions and year-end reports to the accountant.
