Serve as a subject matter resource for payroll accounting processes and provide guidance to internal stakeholders on accounting treatment, payroll impacts, and reporting requirements.
Partner cross-functionally with Payroll, HR, Finance, FP&A, and external vendors to support operational and strategic initiatives.
Effectively communicate complex accounting and payroll concepts to non-financial stakeholders, translating technical information into clear business insights and recommendations.
Drive process improvement initiatives focused on automation, scalability, controls, and efficiency across payroll accounting and related financial processes.
Manage and prioritize multiple projects and competing deadlines while maintaining a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
Support implementation, enhancement, and optimization of accounting and payroll systems, reporting tools, and workflows.
Monitor changes in payroll regulations, accounting guidance, and compliance requirements to ensure ongoing adherence and proactive process updates.
Develop and maintain documentation of key processes, controls, methodologies, and standard operating procedures.
Demonstrate leadership through ownership, problem solving, continuous improvement, and influence across the broader accounting organization.

Qualifications:

CPP designation and/or Bachelor’s degree in Finance/Accounting or a related field
4+ years of progressive experience in accounting, payroll accounting, audit, or related financial functions preferred.
Experience with Dayforce, Workday, and other payroll, ERP, and financial reporting systems is preferred.
Advanced proficiency in Excel, including working with large datasets, complex formulas, reconciliation processes, and data analysis techniques.
Strong understanding of accounting principles, month-end close processes, accrual methodologies, and financial controls.
Demonstrated ability to identify process improvement opportunities and implement practical, scalable solutions.
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
Ability to manage confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to interact effectively across all levels of the organization.
Proven ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and drive results with limited supervision.
