Payroll Analyst

At Fahrney Automotive Group, our people are our most valuable assets. We are always looking for talented additions to our team that not only bring a value-added skill set but are aligned with our company's culture

We are looking for a Payroll Clerk with experience in the automotive dealership industry. This candidate should have experience paying taxes relating to payroll and have a strong background with a diverse set of compensation plans, timecards, and all things relating to payroll. The ideal candidate is a motivated self-starter, with a strong work ethic, who can show up to work on time and have a positive "willing to work" attitude.

We are seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Analyst to join our payroll team. This role supports accurate and timely payroll processing across multiple companies and requires strong analytical and Excel skills. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, troubleshooting discrepancies, and supporting reporting needs-this is not a simple data-entry position.

Key Responsibilities

• Process accurate semi-monthly payrolls across multiple entities
• Review and reconcile payroll data to identify and resolve discrepancies
• Maintain employee records, updates, and wage changes in ADP
• Generate payroll reports and support audits using Excel (VLOOKUP / XLOOKUP, pivot tables, formulas)
• Assist with GL coding and verify correct allocations
• Support year-end activities including W-2 review and payroll balancing
• Partner with HR and accounting teams to resolve payroll-related issues
• Contribute to process improvements and documentation
