  • Reconcile payroll general ledger accounts each month and work through discrepancies in partnership with accounting and finance stakeholders
  • Maintain clear payroll procedures, internal controls, and supporting documentation to promote consistency and readiness for audits
  • Collaborate with HR, people leaders, and internal partners to answer payroll questions and provide guidance on payroll-related matters
  • Identify inefficiencies in current workflows and implement more scalable processes, tools, and automation to reduce manual effort and improve reliability
  • Support month-end close activities, audit requests, and reviews involving payroll, benefits, and compensation-related financial data
  • Build effective working relationships across a matrixed organization and independently drive priorities forward in a fast-paced, deadline-sensitive environment

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience
  • At least five years of experience spanning both payroll administration and payroll accounting responsibilities
  • Hands-on knowledge of full-cycle, multi-state payroll processing for a workforce of more than 500 employees
  • Experience preparing general ledger entries, completing account reconciliations, and partnering closely with accounting teams during close activities
  • Proficiency with ADP Workforce Now and strong spreadsheet skills, including the ability to work accurately with detailed and sensitive data
  • Demonstrated success improving processes, strengthening controls, and introducing more efficient or automated ways of working
  • Strong judgment, personal accountability, and the ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
What we offer:
  • Medical, vision, dental, and life and disability insurance
  • 401(k) plan
