  • Assist with audit requests, documentation, and global tax compliance requirements.

What You'll Bring

  • 3–5+ years of hands-on payroll experience.
  • Strong understanding of multi-state payroll regulations, pay practices, and compliance requirements.
  • Experience with major payroll systems and a willingness to learn new tools (Rippling experience is a plus).
  • Familiarity with preparing payroll account reconciliations and payroll-related journal entries.
  • High attention to detail, with a commitment to accuracy and confidentiality.
  • Clear communication skills with the ability to explain payroll concepts in a simple, supportive way.
  • Ability to prioritize tasks, adapt quickly, and deliver in a fast-paced setting.
  • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, vlookups, etc.).
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, HR, or a related field preferred.
  • CPP certification or international payroll experience is a plus.
  • A proactive, solution-oriented mindset with the ability to see tasks through from start to finish.
