Richard Porter, Financial Adviser at Visionary Accountants said: ‘our experience shows that organising a workplace pension and preparing for auto enrolment can be very complicated and each company faces different auto enrolment challenges. It’s really important that every employer leaves enough time to prepare effectively so they can get the best auto enrolment solution for their company and its employees.’
