Payroll Assistant (Full-time Apprenticeship)
 
 
Are you looking for a Payroll Assistant role and want to be part of a growing, successful “fusion” accounting practice? 
 

When you join Finling, you become part of a team delivering ingenious accounting for ambitious entrepreneurs. Working for mainly tech sector corporate clients, we fuse the best elements of working in industry with the best elements of working in practice, so that you have the most fulfilling career possible.
 
You join a team that really cares about your early career and will enable you to learn and grow as a Payroll professional. We support your journey to qualification, on a fully structured (and paid for) apprenticeship programme. 
 
You will be part of a team that cares passionately for its clients. We focus on a smaller number of deep relationships with clients, providing both their finance team and their compliance and advisory services.  This is different from the traditional “transactional” relationships you normally find between practice and client. 
 
You will have the choice to work flexibly, from home on Mondays and Fridays, if you wish, and in the office for everyone Tuesday to Thursday.
 
You can vary your hours around our core hours from 10am to 4pm.
 
We have a comprehensive benefits package designed to support you to achieve a work-life balance, and to look after you through good times and bad.
 
What do we need you, as a Payroll Assistant, to be/have? 
 
·       Someone who is keen to make their long-term career in payroll work
·       You should have 5 good GCSE’s and be projected (or have) at least 2 good A level grades.  High grades at English and Maths at GCSE are a must
·       You are a team player and can build meaningful, collaborative relationships with both clients and team members
·       You are a strong multitasker with the ability to prioritise your time whilst studying and working simultaneously
·       You are keen to take ownership from an early stage and are committed to always providing excellent client service
·       Highly IT literate, interested in cloud-based IT systems, and mobile apps
·       Highly numerate and literate with a good writing style
·       Very good attention to detail
·       A good communicator, able to talk to all kinds of people, and excellent at keeping other team members informed about all work matters
 
Here are what some of our recent graduate trainees have said about working at Finling: 
 
“I have worked at Finling for 8 months at this point and the breadth and depth of knowledge that I have accumulated is beyond what I could have imagined. I have been provided with so many opportunities for development and feel consistently supported and encouraged. We are a close team and there is always somebody willing to lend a hand.” Adam, Graduate Accounts Trainee

 “At Finling, I have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with clients while being supported by an incredible team. Every challenge becomes a learning moment, and asking questions only opens more doors to growth. With the guidance of my peers, I build confidence, expand my skills, and contribute meaningfully to the team’s success” Nahian, Graduate Accounts Trainee
