Strong Excel skills are an absolute must, as is a good understanding of finance/accounting in addition to payroll experience. Anyone with a solid grounding in payroll will be potentially suitable for this role. International payroll or accounting experience is not required but this would be beneficial. A 'can do' attitude and pro-active team approach is essential though. If this sounds like you then please get in touch now.
