About Us

Zest Payroll Solutions is a small payroll bureau based in Taunton, Somerset. Zest offers all clients a friendly and reliable service, freeing them to concentrate on their own business or family lives.

About Zest

Zest Payroll Solutions was founded by Claire, a payroll professional with many years of industry experience and a passion for delivering accurate, reliable, and personal payroll services. Throughout her career, Claire developed a reputation for simplifying complex payroll processes and supporting businesses of all sizes, from ambitious start-ups to established organisations and domestic employers.

Her commitment to exceptional service, compliance, and client care became the foundation of the Zest Payroll Solutions brand.

Today, Zest Payroll Solutions is proudly powered by Talk Staff Payroll, continuing Claire’s vision while expanding the range of services available to our clients. Although the brand has evolved, the values that built Zest remain unchanged: professionalism, accuracy, transparency, and outstanding customer support.

At Zest Payroll, we’re all about adding a little zest to your working life. Our mission is simple: to remove the stress and complexity of payroll, giving you more time to focus on running your business, supporting your employees, and achieving your goals.

Whether you’re a small business owner, charity, domestic employer, or growing organisation, our experienced team provides fully managed payroll services designed to keep you compliant, efficient, and confident that your payroll is being handled by experts.

More Than Just Payroll

As part of Talk Staff Payroll, we can now offer an even broader range of support services. In addition to our trusted payroll solutions, clients can access HR support services designed to help employers navigate the areas where payroll and HR naturally overlap.

From payroll compliance and workplace policies to employee documentation and HR guidance, we provide practical support that helps businesses stay compliant and protected.

The Future of Zest

Zest Payroll Solutions remains a dedicated brand within the Talk Staff Payroll family and is very much here to stay. We continue to support our existing clients with the same personal service they’ve always received, while investing in new technologies, enhanced payroll solutions, and expanded HR support services for the future.

By combining Claire’s original vision with the resources, expertise, and infrastructure of Talk Staff Payroll, we’re building a stronger, more comprehensive service than ever before.

Payroll made simple. Support made personal. That’s the Zest difference.

What Software do we use?

Zest Payroll Solutions uses the Iris Payroll Professional software. Iris Payroll Professional (formally Star Payroll Professional) is a long established, well respected and reliable programme which is used by many large accountancy firms.
