Central London | Hybrid Working

We're pleased to be partnering with a well-established music accountancy firm in Central London to find an experienced Payroll Assistant Manager to join their growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced payroll professional looking to take ownership of a varied client payroll portfolio within a collaborative and supportive environment. While the role is heavily payroll-focused, there will also be the opportunity to gain exposure to the wider finance function over time.
About the Role
You'll be responsible for the end-to-end processing of payrolls for a diverse portfolio of clients, ensuring accuracy, compliance and exceptional service throughout the payroll cycle. The successful candidate will be proactive, organised and confident working independently, with the ability to manage competing deadlines, use their initiative and build strong working relationships across the business.
