For payroll bureaus and accountancy firms, onboarding a new client should be a moment of growth, not a week-long administrative headache. Traditional payment setups often require each of your clients to sign up directly with a provider, leading to fragmented communication, delayed starts, and a heavy "high-risk" admin burden for your team.
At Caxton, we have re-engineered the onboarding process to move at the speed of your business. By utiliszing a dedicated client wallet architecture, we allow bureaus and accountancy firms to spin up fully governed payroll operations in as little as 24 hours.

Why Direct Client Sign-ups Are a Bottleneck
In a legacy BACS-led framework, the friction of onboarding often stems from:
-
Manual Intervention: Requiring clients to navigate their own technical setups leads to errors and "Friday payroll panic".
-
Compliance Lag: Managing multiple direct sign-ups complicates the "resolution packs" required for modern safeguarding and payroll risk management.
-
Fragmented Oversight: Without a unified view, bureaus struggle to maintain 24/7 visibility into payment statuses across their entire portfolio.
The Caxton Advantage: Onboarding in Minutes, Not Weeks
We position ourselves as your infrastructure partner, rather than just a processor. Our streamlined workflow is designed to eliminate client-side friction:
-
Sub-Account Creation: Instead of a complex direct sign-up, we help you create segregated, dedicated client wallets instantly.
-
Zero Disruption: We can deploy fully governed operations within a single day, ensuring zero disruption to employee pay—even for top-tier bureaus.
-
API-Driven Efficiency: Through seamless API integrations (such as with BrightHR), we reduce manual intervention, enabling a truly automated end-to-end experience.
Operational Resilience for Modern Bureaus
By removing the requirement for clients to sign up directly, you regain control over the timeline. This approach is not just about speed; it's about risk mitigation. Our infrastructure acts as a "secondary backup rail," allowing you to bypass BACS outages or rigid banking windows.
Whether you are supporting a new entrant or a high-growth organisation like Stint, our goal is to let you focus on scaling while we manage the complexity of payment execution.
