About the Role
Michael Taylor Search & Selection is a growing recruitment business specialising in permanent and contract recruitment across the construction and built environment sectors.
As the business continues to grow, we are looking for a Junior Finance & Payroll Administrator to join our team in Brick Lane.
This is an entry–level position with full training provided and would suit someone at the beginning of their career who is organised, good with numbers and confident using systems and spreadsheets.
You do not need previous recruitment, payroll or accounting experience. We are looking for someone with the right attitude, attention to detail and willingness to learn.
You'll work closely with our Financial Controller and wider recruitment team, gradually learning how the financial and administrative side of a recruitment business operates.
What You'll Be Doing
Initially, your role will focus on straightforward administrative tasks, with your responsibilities increasing as you develop.
You'll be trained to:
- Check and process weekly contractor timesheets.
- Make sure hours, rates and contractor information are entered correctly.

- Liaise with contractors regarding missing timesheets or information.
- Assist with producing and checking client invoices.
- Maintain accurate contractor and finance records.
- Help with contractor onboarding and documentation.
- Check Right to Work documents, insurances and other compliance information.
- Assist with basic credit control and chasing outstanding invoices.
- Update information across Timesheet Portal, Xero and our CRM.
- Use Excel to maintain trackers and check information.
- Support the Financial Controller with general finance and office administration.
As your knowledge and confidence grow, we'll train you across more areas of payroll, invoicing, credit control, contractor finance and financial reporting.
Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:
- Is highly organised and pays close attention to detail.
- Is comfortable working with numbers.
- Has basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
- Is confident using computers and learning new systems.
