Payroll Specialist | Brighton | £28,000 – £35,000 | Office Based

A leading Brighton-based accountancy firm is looking for an experienced Payroll Specialist to join their dedicated payroll team. With a varied client base and a strong reputation across the South East, this is a brilliant opportunity to do payroll properly, in a team that knows the work inside out.

You'll be looking after a portfolio of clients with weekly, fortnightly, monthly, and annual pay runs, working alongside colleagues who genuinely enjoy the technical side of payroll.

The role:

  • Running end-to-end payroll for a wide range of clients

  • Processing starters, leavers, and salary changes

  • Administering SMP, SPP, SSP, and other statutory payments

  • Handling client queries and resolving them properly

  • Ensuring full compliance with HMRC and current legislation

  • Supporting year-end processes and P11D submissions

What's on offer:
  • £28,000 to £35,000 depending on experience

  • Friendly, established payroll team

  • Genuinely varied client portfolio

  • Office-based role in central Brighton

  • Supportive environment with proper investment in your development

You'll fit this role if:
  • You've got solid bureau or in-house payroll experience

  • You're confident with statutory payments and end-to-end processing

  • You enjoy client contact and being the go-to person on payroll queries

  • You take pride in getting it right the first time

If you're a payroll professional who wants to work somewhere stable, well run, and properly invested in their team, this is well worth a conversation.
