The Role
We\'re looking for a Payroll Manager who doesn\'t just “do payroll” but takes ownership of it.
This is a standalone role within a professional accountancy practice, where you\'ll be responsible for running the payroll function from start to finish—ensuring accuracy, compliance, and excellent client service.
Go-to expert—someone who thrives on responsibility, solves problems confidently, and takes real pride in being the payroll lead.
Key Responsibilities
* End-to-end payroll processing across multiple clients with varied needs and pay frequencies
* PAYE, pensions, statutory payments, and year-end submissions (P60s, P11Ds, etc.)
* Managing compliance with HMRC and staying current with payroll legislation
* Acting as the first point of contact for payroll queries, offering clear and practical advice
* Spotting issues, improving processes, and ensuring clients receive a smooth, professional service
* Supporting a system migration from desktop to cloud-based payroll software
What We\'re Looking For
* Strong payroll experience, ideally within an accountancy or payroll bureau environment
* Solid understanding of UK payroll legislation and systems (Moneysoft/BrightPay experience an advantage)
* Excellent communication skills—able to explain payroll clearly to clients
* Highly organised, detail-focused, and proactive, with the confidence to work independently
* Someone who enjoys being the payroll specialist and owning the function
Why Join?
* Competitive salary (£30k-£35k DOE)
* Genuine progression opportunities within a supportive practice
* A culture that values independence, ownership, and fresh thinking
* Free onsite parking and a friendly office environment
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to step up and take full responsibility for payroll in a growing firm—making the role their own while having a real impact.
