make up the company’s wider objectives. These include: the vision; empowering the team; engaging the team; three-year business plan; 12-month focus (strategy); quarterly strategy sessions; weekly pulse meetings; and accountability. “Our three-year vision is broken into annual segments with a granular focus on the coming year. This is broken down further into quarterly commitments which are then further granulised into weekly bitesize chunks. Our weekly meetings provide a communication platform for the team where together we can track progress and table any issues. All in all, I find that great communication, structure, engagement, and empowerment are what makes the dream work.” Recently, thanks to his pro-active approach and laser focus, Matthew gained notable recognition in the Managing Director of the Year Awards and was bestowed with the prestigious and coveted title of Accounting & Payroll MD of the Year 2024. Now, as the future beckons, Matthew has a solid vision of what he wants the business to achieve over the next five years. Namely, his aim is to be a top-ten provider in the United Kingdom within five years, with further expansion in international markets and subsequent complimentary brands. Over the next 12 months alone, Matthew hopes to see the firm doubling in size. “Achieving our ambitious vision isn’t something I can do alone. Having the right people, in the right seats with the right mindsets and cultural values is going to be crucial in getting us there. The team has to buy into the vision and be able to see the reality of what we can achieve, not just as individuals but as a collaborative team.” It’s also important for Matthew to have the right rewards in place. Financial reward will understandably be a priority for most people, but he has learned to never underestimate the power of a happy, engaged, and motivated workplace where people feel valued. “In hindsight, my approach to management today has in many ways been shaped by learning from past experiences in businesses where they didn’t always get it right. These lessons have underscored the importance of having the right team around you, which I believe is crucial for success and something I never take for granted.” Just a few of the services that Honest Payroll provides include: • Employment: Full PAYE employment, including pension, holiday entitlement, expenses, and statutory benefits. • Professional Employment Organisation (PEO): Transparent solutions with fixed gross rates and no deductions beyond statutory PAYE, ensuring clear payslips. • Self-Employed/CIS: Flexibility of selfemployment while we handle contracts, payments, and necessary insurances. • Limited Company: Complete compliance with all company and agency legislation, using a self-billing system for clear and concise paperwork, with access to required insurances.
