Senior Payroll Administrator

Senior Payroll Bureau Administrator – South Liverpool - £30,000 - £32,000 plus flexible working – part time hours considered

Senior Payroll Bureau Administrator Description:

A growing, Chartered Accountancy practice based in South Liverpool, is looking to recruit an experienced Payroll Bureau Administrator.

The firm supports a broad mix of SME clients, from very small businesses to a number of larger employers. Offering more than just compliance – they provide commercial advice, outsourced finance and tax planning.

Reporting to the Practice Manager, you will be joining a business that is investing in new payroll software (BrightPay) and bringing payroll fully in-house, so there’s plenty of opportunity to shape how things are done.

This role is ideal for someone with at least 5 years’ payroll experience, is comfortable with busy month-end periods, and has strong attention to detail.

You’ll be the go-to person for all payroll matters, covering weekly, monthly and bi-monthly runs, auto-enrolment, and associated administration tasks.

Senior Payroll Bureau Administrator - Key responsibilities:

• End-to-end processing of weekly and monthly payrolls for c.80 clients, including some larger payrolls of 100 employees
• Set-up and maintenance of new payrolls and employee records within BrightPay (and legacy systems during transition)
• Building relationships with clients
• Managing auto-enrolment processes: pension set-up, assessments, uploads and ongoing compliance
• Preparing and submitting RTI returns, year-end processing and statutory forms (P45, P60, etc.)
• Handling payroll queries from clients and employees (tax codes, deductions, statutory payments, holiday pay)
• Ensuring compliance with current payroll legislation and upcoming changes (including P11D changes this year)
• Liaising with HMRC and pension providers as required
• Finance/admin support as needed (e.g. basic bank statement checks for payroll, maintaining client data, Companies House confirmations)

Senior Payroll Administrator - Benefits:

This is a stable, long-term position where you can genuinely own the payroll function.

Benefits include a friendly, close-knit team, free parking and flexible working arrangements (full time and part-time are both considered as this is a newly created role).

Senior Payroll Administrator - Essential Requirements:

• 5 years + experience in bureau or complex, multi-site payroll
• Brightpay would be advantageous, but not essential
