Job description

NXTGEN is delighted to be partnering with a modern accountancy firm in Norwich to recruit a Payroll Assistant to join their lovely and experienced team. This is a newly created Payroll Assistant role, driven by the firm's continued expansion and growing demand for their payroll services. It's a fantastic chance to join a forward-thinking business that genuinely cares about their people and the service they provide.

As the new Payroll Assistant, you'll be stepping into a role that offers so much more than just payroll processing. You'll have the chance to make a real impact on local clients, offering advice and support along the way. With the firm experiencing exciting growth, there's clear opportunity for progression, ongoing training, and even involvement in other areas of the business if you're keen to broaden your skillset. You'll work with a varied client base, from ambitious SMEs to well-established businesses, delivering end-to-end payroll services, ensuring accuracy and timeliness, while building trusted relationships throughout.

You'll be joining one of the most supportive and friendly teams in the local market, within a firm known for its down-to-earth culture and collaborative working environment. This is a client I've had the pleasure of working closely with for a number of years, not only placing their current Payroll Manager but also a number of other highly successful Accountants across the firm, so if this is a role that intrigues you, I'll be able to give a real insight into what this role would entail as well as success stories.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Processing end-to-end payroll for a portfolio of clients, ensuring accuracy and compliance
2. Handling payroll queries and providing expert advice on PAYE, pensions, and statutory deductions
3. Building strong client relationships and delivering exceptional service
4. Working closely with the wider team to continuously improve processes and efficiencies

What We're Looking For:

1. Experience in payroll processing within an accountancy practice or bureau environment
2. Knowledge of payroll software such as Sage Payroll or Xero Payroll
3. Strong attention to detail and ability to manage deadlines effectively
4. Excellent communication skills to liaise with clients and colleagues
5. A proactive and adaptable mindset, keen to develop and grow within the firm

If you're ready for a role that offers variety, ownership, a great work life balance, with support every step of the way, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. For more details, please get in touch with Annie.

Salary is dependant on experience.
