Job Description

Payroll, Finance & Compliance Coordinator
 Watford, WD24 | Up to £35,000

Every placement we make runs through this role.

At Synergi Recruitment we supply engineers to manufacturing and FMCG businesses across the UK. Contractors get paid because someone runs payroll properly. Clients get invoiced because someone stays on top of the ledger. Placements stand up to scrutiny because someone got the compliance right.

That someone is you - and you'll own it, not sit in a queue behind three other people who also touch it.

What you'll run

Contractor payroll. Weekly payroll end to end - timesheets in, checked, invoiced, loaded into Xero. Client invoicing, chasing POs where you need to, reconciliations, and quarterly reporting.

Accounts receivable. The AR ledger is yours. Credit control, chasing overdues, keeping clients inside terms, and feeding into cashflow forecasting.

Compliance. Right to Work checks for contractors and candidates, keeping compliance documentation complete and correctly stored, managing rep forms and client order forms digitally, and making sure we're on the right side of IR35.

Systems and support. Keeping Bullhorn and our internal systems accurate, plus finance and operational projects and some direct support for the Director.

It's varied. Some weeks are payroll-heavy, some are compliance-heavy, and you'll be trusted to manage that yourself.

What you'll need

Strong Excel and hands-on experience with Xero or similar. Genuinely organised - the kind of person who notices the timesheet that doesn't add up before it becomes a problem. Clear communicator, because you'll be chasing clients for POs and payment and it needs doing well.

Helpful, not essential: Bullhorn, a working understanding of IR35, and a couple of years in recruitment finance, contractor payroll or compliance admin. If you've done contractor payroll in an agency before, you'll recognise everything here on day one.

Who fits

Someone who likes structure and gets a bit of satisfaction from a clean reconciliation. Proactive enough to sort things out rather than escalate them. Comfortable in a fast-moving business where the week doesn't always go to plan.

Why Synergi

We're a specialist engineering and manufacturing recruiter with a growing contractor book - which is exactly why this role exists. You'll be close to the Director, visible in a small team, and your work will obviously matter. No being buried in a shared services function.
