Payroll Assistant

Liverpool Permanent £25,000 - £29,000 per year View Job Description
We're looking for a Payroll Assistant to help deliver accurate, timely payroll services for a wide range of clients. This is an ideal entry point for someone who wants to grow a long‑term career in payroll within a supportive and busy accountancy environment.
  • Immediate start for a reputable and well established company
  • Great culture and supportive environment

About Our Client

You'll be joining a friendly, Liverpool‑based accountancy practice with a close‑knit team of 16, known for valuing its people just as much as its clients. They believe in developing talent, offering real progression opportunities, and providing a welcoming environment where you can build confidence, skills, and a strong future in payroll and bookkeeping.

Job Description

As a Payroll Assistant, you'll work closely with our Payroll Manager and Accounts Managers to support weekly and monthly payrolls for around 150 clients across a variety of sectors.

You'll gain hands‑on experience with real payroll processes-processing new starters and leavers, calculating statutory payments, submitting RTI to HMRC, managing pension contributions, and helping with year‑end tasks.

This role offers the perfect balance of responsibility and support: you'll learn from experienced colleagues while taking on meaningful tasks that directly impact our clients.

If you enjoy a mix of routine and problem‑solving, value accuracy, and like the idea of becoming a payroll expert, this is a fantastic place to start.

The Successful Applicant



You'll shine in this role if you have:

  • 1-2 years' experience in a payroll bureau or multi‑client environment
  • A good understanding of statutory and legislative payroll regulations
  • Great attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
  • A professional, approachable communication style
  • Discretion when handling confidential information

Most importantly, you'll have a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a genuine desire to grow your payroll expertise.

What's on Offer

  • City Centre Location
  • Opportunity to learn and develop your skills and exposure in payroll
  • Medical Insurance
  • Additional Birthday Leave
  • Supportive team, clear development pathways, and opportunities to expand into broader payroll and bookkeeping responsibilities
