MAP Enrolment Solutions - Providing Accountants with an End to End client solution.
As a professional adviser, you’ll appreciate that implementing Auto Enrolment can be a significant challenge. We’ve identified 33 new responsibilities and duties employers will need to comply with. For example, assessing which employees are eligible, communicating with different groups of employees, managing the payroll, establishing thorough record keeping and much, much more.
Of course, not complying with the new regulations isn’t an option. Your clients could face significant daily fines (as much as £5,000 a day - more for companies with 500 plus employees).
Some of your clients may believe that the government pension scheme, NEST, will take care of the extra administration, but it won't, fortunately the providers on our panel have developed solutions that will. A solution that means your clients can stay focused on building their business – not running their pension scheme. A solution that works for you as well.
We offer a range of support services to Accountants to allow them to offer a complete Auto Enrolment solution to their clients. We essentially fill any gaps you may have in your existing Auto Enrolment proposition whether that is helping you to market and sell your proposition, implement compliant solutions to your clients or simply take a referral and leave you to get on with your business.
