Minimum 30 Hours Per Week (4 Days) | Full-Time Considered
Office-Based

Macildowie are recruiting for a Payroll & Statutory Administrator to join a well-established and highly respected independent accountancy practice based in Leicester.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced payroll professional looking for a varied role that combines client payroll responsibilities with exposure to statutory and company secretarial work.

Working within a supportive and collaborative office environment, you'll manage a portfolio of payroll clients whilst developing additional skills across statutory compliance and business administration.

The Role

You'll play a key role in delivering payroll services to a diverse range of SME clients, ensuring payrolls are processed accurately and on time whilst building strong relationships with clients.

Alongside payroll, you'll support statutory administration activities including company filings, confirmation statements and other compliance-related duties.

This role offers genuine variety and would suit someone who enjoys working directly with clients, thrives in a team environment and wants to broaden their experience within a professional services setting.

Key Responsibilities

• Processing weekly and monthly payrolls for a portfolio of clients.
• Managing payroll deadlines and ensuring all submissions are completed accurately.
• Liaising directly with clients to obtain payroll information and resolve queries.
• Building strong client relationships and proactively managing expectations.
• Processing payroll amendments including overtime, bonuses and statutory payments.
• Supporting company secretarial and statutory filing activities.
• Managing confirmation statements and Companies House-related administration.
• Monitoring filing deadlines and ensuring compliance requirements are met.
• Supporting the wider team with administrative and client service activities.

About You

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

• Previous payroll experience.
• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• Excellent communication and client-facing abilities.
• A proactive and detail-oriented approach.
• The ability to manage multiple deadlines effectively.
• Confidence working independently whilst contributing to a team environment.

Experience gained within an accountancy practice would be advantageous, although candidates from industry payroll backgrounds who have managed multiple payrolls will also be considered.

What's On Offer?

• Salary of £29,000 – £31,000 FTE.
• Minimum 30-hour working week, with full-time hours available for the right candidate.
• Office-based role within a friendly and supportive team environment.
• Employer pension contribution.
• Free on-site parking.
• 20 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Additional discretionary Christmas shutdown.
• Exposure to both payroll and statutory compliance work.
• Opportunity to broaden your skillset within a successful independent accountancy practice.
• Long-term stability and career development opportunities.

If you're an experienced payroll professional looking for a role that offers variety, autonomy and the opportunity to develop new skills in a supportive office environment, we'd love to hear from you.
