Job description

ESV Business advice and accounting – Sydney CBD NSW

ESV is a mid-tier, boutique firm offering Advisory, Taxation and Audit services alongside Outsourced CFO and Family Office support. As your Partners for Growth, we offer a unique blend of big-firm capability and small-firm personality, creating a culture where you're not a number, you're known, supported and celebrated.

We're looking for a Payroll & HR Administrator to join our People & Culture team.

Your role

As our Payroll & HR Administrator, you'll be the safe pair of hands behind ESV's payroll and HR administration, keeping our people paid accurately and on time and our employment documentation and HR systems in order. This is a part time role of three days a week or more, well suited to a payroll or HR administration professional looking for flexibility, or someone finishing a business, commerce or HR degree who wants hands on experience inside a professional services firm.

• Running our monthly payroll and managing compliance obligations, including Payroll Tax, PAYG, Superannuation and STP reporting
• Supporting the preparation of employment contracts and related documentation
• Managing the offboarding process for exiting staff
• Administering our HRIS (Employment Hero), including personnel records and templates
• Providing light administrative support across recruitment, onboarding and general P&C enquiries
• Supporting ad hoc P&C projects, such as RU OK Day and surveys

About you

You have 2 to 3 years' experience in a similar role. Previous payroll experience is preferred but not essential, and reasonable proficiency in Xero and XPM (or equivalent payroll and practice management software) will help you hit the ground running.

You understand Australian HR and payroll legislation, including Fair Work, superannuation guarantee, payroll tax and WHS, and you're comfortable working within an HRIS, with Employment Hero experience highly regarded. You're completing, or have completed, a degree in accounting, business, HR or a related field.

You bring excellent organisational and time management skills, strong accuracy and attention to detail, and the ability to meet strict deadlines. You work independently, think critically and are comfortable managing sensitive and confidential information.

What ESV offers

• Membership of The Society, helping you build lasting professional networks
• A welcoming, inclusive environment driven by strong diversity, wellbeing and corporate responsibility priorities
• Ongoing training and development support designed to build both technical and soft skills
• Birthday leave, Summertime Fridays and 12 weeks of paid parental leave
