Full Job Description

A growing and highly successful organization is partnering with us to identify a Senior Staff Accountant with strong payroll accounting experience. This position is ideal for an accounting professional who enjoys owning payroll-related accounting processes while working closely with finance, HR, benefits, and payroll teams.

Rather than a traditional payroll processing role, this opportunity is focused on the accounting, reporting, reconciliations, analysis, and compliance aspects of payroll and employee compensation programs . The organization offers a collaborative environment, exposure to process improvement initiatives, and opportunities to support system implementations and business growth initiatives.

Key Responsibilities
Prepare payroll-related journal entries, accruals, forecasts, and account reconciliations.
Analyze payroll, tax, and compensation-related transactions to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Reconcile payroll-related bank activity and support month-end and year-end close processes.
Assist with budgeting, forecasting, external audits, and internal reporting.
Partner with payroll providers and internal stakeholders to support payroll tax compliance and reporting.
Support travel and expense accounting, including monthly accruals, reimbursements, and audit reviews.
Generate payroll and workforce-related financial reports and analyses for management.
Participate in system implementations, process enhancements, and business integration projects.
Collaborate with accounting, finance, HR, and payroll teams to improve workflows and controls.
Provide backup support for payroll administration functions as needed.

Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
3+ years of accounting experience, including payroll accounting, compensation accounting, or a closely related area.
Strong understanding of general ledger accounting, reconciliations, accruals, and financial reporting.
Experience supporting month-end close activities.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and strong overall systems aptitude.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
