  • Perform payroll and benefits reconciliations and resolve discrepancies as needed
  • Support month-end close activities related to payroll accounting and accruals
  • Partner with payroll and HR teams to ensure accuracy and compliance of payroll-related financial data
  • Prepare reporting and analysis related to payroll expenses, accruals, commissions, and benefits
  • Maintain accurate documentation and support internal controls and audit requests
  • Utilize advanced Excel functions to analyze and reconcile large data sets

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred
  • 3+ years of experience in payroll accounting or related accounting functions
  • Strong understanding of payroll accounting, accruals, reconciliations, and general ledger processes
  • Advanced Excel skills including pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and complex formulas
  • Experience working in a high-volume or large company environment preferred
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Experience with payroll systems such as Dayforce is a plus
