iX5 Environmental Services deliver a responsive, 24/7 service to commercial customers across a wide range of sectors including hospitality, healthcare, and education. The business has grown rapidly thanks to its strong values, high standards, and commitment to service.
Founder and Director, James Pinner, set up the company in 2020 after many years in the pest control industry. He’s grown the team quickly and built a strong reputation by leading a group of technicians who go above and beyond for their clients.
As the business scaled, it became harder for James to manage the growing payroll function alongside his other responsibilities. With different pay models for office staff, field-based technicians, and contractors, payroll had become too time-consuming and complex to manage in-house. He was concerned about accuracy and compliance, and he wanted a reliable solution. Above all, he needed peace of mind and the freedom to focus on growth.
Accounting support for pest control companies
James was referred to Coopers&Co by another client. After an initial consultation, we took over the monthly payroll process to remove the pressure. Our first step was to set up clear systems. We also managed pension submissions, handled HMRC filings, and created a schedule that worked around the needs of the team.

The team is now working with Isobel to finalise annual accounts and create forward-looking forecasts to support sustained growth.
The relationship with Coopers&Co has delivered more than just compliance. For iX5 Environmental Services, it has offered space, structure and the expertise needed to grow with confidence. This example shows how accounting support for pest control companies can directly enable long-term success and peace of mind.
