Why we are different

Retinue Accounting was founded on the belief that small business accounting support should be customer service focused, proactive and forward-looking, and at the same time be upfront about fees and charges. Our fixed fee subscription model ensures our clients have peace of mind that we’ll give them the right advice, at the right time, at the right price with no hidden additional costs.  

We are so much more than another accounting business – we are a team driven by our values and behaviours. Adaptability, commitment, and humility fuel our client-centred approach. We honour our promises, promote transparency, and move swiftly with purpose. We embrace new challenges, and proactively raise issues with a solutions mindset, knowing it takes a team effort to build a successful business.

• Stay up to date with changes in tax legislation that may impact payroll processing.
• Provide supervision to junior team members, including offshore team members, to help foster their professional growth and development.
• Complete year-end payroll activities and reconciliations.

Requirements

• Minimum two years’ experience in a similar role, managing payroll for multiple clients ideally in a senior capacity.
• Xero payroll software experience is essential; experience of using other payroll systems will be considered favourably.
• In-depth knowledge of tax legislation to the extent it relates to payroll processing.
• Ability to manage multiple client priorities, meet deadlines, and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Benefits

• Flexible working options available, ability to work from home following probation.
• Great location close to public transport, with beautiful, serviced offices and first-class amenities
• Financial support with any formal studies and institute membership fees
• Training and professional development relevant to your role, provided by our dedicated in-house training and development team.
• Exceptional professional growth opportunities in a fast-growing business, including (but not limited to) management opportunities or lateral opportunities.
• Become a part of our growth story, work in a high performance and dynamic organisation that recognises success with career progression and further opportunities.
