About the Role

You'll be the "go to" person for a specific portfolio of clients, ensuring compliance as well as dealing with queries and advising on specific matters.

You'll be joining a friendly and collaborative payroll team, where learning is encouraged, and people genuinely support each other.

  • Contribute to payroll year-end processes
  • Support the wider payroll team to ensure accurate and timely payroll delivery

The Ideal Candidate

  • Experience supporting payroll processes within a finance or payroll team
  • Comfortable working with payroll deadlines and maintaining strong attention to detail
  • Understanding of HMRC reporting and payroll compliance basics
  • Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach to teamwork
