At FBD Consultancy Accounts & Tax Ltd, we’re a dynamic SME accounting firm with big ambitions—and we’re looking for a Payroll & Operations Manager who’s ready to help us scale smartly.

 Who We Are

We’re a hands-on, client-focused accounting, tax and business advisory firm that supports a wide range of small businesses. As an SME ourselves, we understand the value of efficiency, adaptability, and the human touch. We combine traditional accounting principles with modern tools and a flexible mindset.

Now, we're looking for someone who can bring structure, strategy, and scalability to our operations—with a special focus on payroll excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage end-to-end payroll processing across multiple clients and jurisdictions.
• Maintain compliance with tax and employment regulations, keeping systems and records audit-ready.
• Lead and improve internal operations (workflow design, document management, reporting, maintenance of processes and systems etc.).
• Optimise the use of software, AI tools and other SME-friendly platforms.
• Support onboarding of new clients and staff from an operational perspective.
• Identify and implement process improvements that reduce bottlenecks and enhance service delivery.
• Collaborate directly with leadership and client teams—your voice will be heard.

 What We're Looking For

• 3–5+ years of payroll and/or operations management experience, ideally in accounting or professional services.
• Strong understanding of small business payroll, including NI, PAYE, superannuation, leave, accruals and awards.
• Comfortable working across multiple systems and accounts.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and solution-focused.
• A self-starter who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced SME environment.
• Bonus: Experience with process automation or SOP development.

 Why You'll Love It Here

• Be part of a tight-knit, ambitious team where your input directly drives growth.
• Real ownership over your role and processes—no red tape, just impact.
• Flexibility in how and where you work.
• Opportunity to help shape the future of our operations and client service.
• A supportive culture that values initiative, clarity, and integrity.

Let’s build something great together.
