- Support payroll and benefits vendor selection, onboarding, and ongoing management, including requirements gathering, documentation, and implementation support.
- Maintain employee payroll records across systems, ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and compliance with internal standards and regulatory requirements.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for payroll-related questions, providing timely and professional support to employees and managers.
- Assist with multi-state payroll tax compliance, including supporting filings, payments, and coordination with external vendors to ensure deadlines are met.
- Prepare and support quarterly and annual payroll tax filings and reporting requirements.
- Support certified payroll reporting requirements for government or client-specific compliance needs.
- Maintain organized payroll documentation and assist with internal and external audits, including workers’ compensation, financial audits, and compliance reviews.
- Lead year-end payroll activities, including W-2 and 1099 preparation, reconciliation, and distribution.
- Partner with Corporate Finance to support payroll reconciliations and journal entries as part of the month-end close process.
- Collaborate with the Benefits team to ensure accurate payroll deductions for 401(k), loan repayments, benefit plans, and related items, and support benefit plan audits as needed.
- Generate standard and ad hoc payroll and tax reports to support Finance, HR, and business needs.
- Identify and escalate payroll discrepancies, issues, or process gaps, and support resolution efforts.
We’re looking for someone who has:
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, human resources, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 2-4+ years of payroll experience, including multi-division and multi-state payroll processing, tax compliance, and administration.
- Experience using UKG Pro (or another major system like ADP or Workday) to include maintaining accurate employee data across integrated systems.
- Basic understanding of payroll accounting, including reconciliations, general ledger support, and tax reporting.
- Understanding of payroll considerations for employees on visas, including basic compliance requirements related to tax and work authorization.
- Strong Excel skills, including data review, reconciliation, and reporting.
- Experience supporting payroll audits, tax inquiries, and compliance reviews.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage confidential and sensitive information appropriately.
- High level of integrity, professionalism, and reliability.
- CPP or FPC certification is a plus.
