John Morin
Niromtec Limited
“I was new to contracting and had little idea about setting up a business, keeping the finances in order on an ongoing basis and avoiding any potential pitfalls. Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd, who came on recommendation, made the whole process easy. On an ongoing basis the invoicing, expenses handling and remittance advice has removed the chore of having to manage this myself, all communications in these areas have always been prompt and clear. Notification of when and how much to pay for VAT etc. have also always been clear and timely”.
An introduction to Churchill Knight

John Payne
Founder and Partner

Louise Payne
Founder and Partner
Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd is not like any other contractor accountant and payroll company. The business was started in 1998 by John Payne and his wife Louise. John was an IT contractor who decided to start a specialist contractor accountancy and PAYE umbrella service because there were no contractor focused providers available. Since the first day of operation, John and Louise have remained partners and owners of Churchill Knight, making us a family run business created by a contractor, specifically for contractors.
The number of contractors using our services is continuing to grow and this is largely down to positive word of mouth. We work with contractors in a variety of sectors including accountancy, architecture, construction, design, financial services, IT, legal, consultancy, marketing and social work.
Providing you with a great experience is our number one priority.
