Introducing our Compliance Hub

With increased HMRC scrutiny and the introduction of Joint & Several Liability (JSL), payroll providers face mounting pressure to demonstrate compliance.

To help our clients evidence their compliance with confidence, we recently announced our Compliance Hub – designed to deliver transparency and visibility across the payroll supply chain.

 

Why payroll compliance needs greater transparency

Compliance data is often fragmented. Information often lives across multiple systems, spreadsheets, email threads, and third-party tools. This makes it difficult to evidence compliance with ease.

For umbrella companies, JSL reforms means agencies need to manage risk even closer than ever, and verify correct payroll practices from suppliers – creating pressure to provide fast, auditable evidence. For bureaus, clients expect transparency and real-time access to payroll data as a baseline service.

Whether you’re responding to an agency audit request or giving clients self-service visibility, the challenge is the same: scattered data makes compliance reactive instead of proactive.

 

What is the Finity Compliance Hub?

The Compliance Hub is a unified view of your payroll compliance operations, bringing together payroll summaries, RTI submissions, HMRC payment evidence, and audit trails in one place. Baked into Finity, free for all.

Here’s how it works:

1. Easily upload evidence of payment and receipt of HMRC liabilities

2. Everything syncs instantly to client portals – a hub for self-service

3. Clients see FPS status and payment summaries in real-time, and can download compliance packs 24/7

 

For umbrella companies: Streamlined JSL evidence sharing

Umbrella payroll teams can upload HMRC payment evidence and GOV.UK Gateway receipts by tax period, then share them securely with agency clients via the Client Portal. This eliminates manual evidence gathering, speeds up compliance checks, and builds trust with your agency partners.

What umbrellas can do:

• Upload bank statements and HMRC receipts by tax month
• Add optional notes to explain any variances
• Publish evidence packs to agencies with a single click
• Maintain full audit trails showing who uploaded what and when

 

For bureaus: Real-time client transparency

Bureau customers increasingly expect visibility into the payroll operations you run on their behalf. The Compliance Hub gives your clients self-service access to payroll summaries and RTI submission details, without requiring you to upload additional evidence documents. This delivers a modern, trust-building service that differentiates your bureau offering.

What bureaus can offer clients:

• Real-time payroll summaries by tax period
• FPS submission confirmations with HMRC reference numbers
• Drill-down access to individual payslips linked to their FPS
• Self-service reporting instead of responding to individual data requests

 

How the Compliance Hub supports payroll teams

The Compliance Hub is designed to reduce operational complexity while giving everyone in the supply chain peace of mind.

1. Real-time compliance visibility

With a clear, at-a-glance view of payroll compliance, teams no longer need to wait for issues to surface after a pay run or during an audit. Problems can be identified earlier, helping reduce costly errors and remediation work.

2. Integrated verification and audit readiness

Every upload, deletion, and publish action is automatically tracked with user attribution and timestamps. Whether you’re preparing for an internal review or responding to a query, you have a complete evidence trail at your fingertips. For an additional layer of assurance, Finity also has existing integrations with third party tools such as SafeRec and veriPAYE for independent verification.

3. Client self-service reduces operational overhead

Instead of payroll teams manually gathering data for each agency or client request, the Compliance Hub makes information available on-demand. Agencies can download evidence packs, bureaus’ clients can view live payroll data – all without burdening your operations team.

 

Designed alongside payroll teams

The Compliance Hub has been shaped by feedback from payroll teams across recruitment, umbrella, and bureau models. Rather than focusing purely on regulation, it’s designed around real-world workflows helping teams manage compliance as part of everyday payroll operations, not as a separate burden.

This first release is just the beginning. As legislation evolves and industry requirements change, the Compliance Hub will continue to grow, with new features and enhancements guided by customer insight.

 

Championing transparency at source

We’ve long believed that true compliance confidence requires visibility at every level – not just within your own systems, but from HMRC itself.

That’s why we engaged with HMRC in 2025 to champion API connectivity for greater tax transparency, outlined in our whitepaper. HMRC has since confirmed plans to modernise its tax system with APIs, which will provide real-time visibility on tax submissions and payments directly from the source.

Compliance Hub bridges this gap – giving you the transparency and evidence management you need right now as JSL approaches.

 

One place for compliance confidence

Whether you’re an umbrella company navigating JSL, a bureau enhancing client service, or an agency verifying supplier compliance, the Compliance Hub gives you the visibility and tools to stay in control.
