FT Recruitment has been asked to exclusively partner with our growing chartered accountancy client, managing their recruitment process for a Payroll Analyst to join their expanding team. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced payroll professional to join a well-established practice, providing a high-quality payroll service to a diverse portfolio of clients. The role will focus on managing smaller client payrolls, with full ownership of the end-to-end payroll process.

Key Duties:

  • Manage a portfolio of smaller client payrolls from start to finish
  • Process weekly and monthly payrolls accurately and within agreed deadlines
  • Handle all aspects of the payroll lifecycle, including starters, leavers, salary changes, statutory payments and deductions
  • Process pension auto-enrolment, opt-ins, opt-outs and pension contributions

  • Prepare and submit payroll information and statutory reports to HMRC and relevant pension providers

  • Keep up to date with changes to payroll legislation and ensure client payrolls remain compliant
  • Work closely with the wider accounts and tax teams to deliver a joined-up service to clients
  • Provide general payroll advice and support to clients as required

We’re looking for someone with previous payroll experience and a strong understanding of end-to-end payroll processing. You’ll be comfortable managing multiple client payrolls, keeping up to date with HMRC legislation and statutory requirements, and handling pension auto-enrolment. Strong attention to detail, numeracy and organisation are essential, alongside the ability to manage your own workload and meet deadlines. Excellent communication skills and a positive, client-focused approach are important, with payroll software experience being an advantage.
