  • Manage payroll tax filings, reconciliations, notices, and amendments in coordination with Paylocity and tax vendors.
  • Handle employee payroll questions and issue resolution with a high level of confidentiality and customer service.
  • Support internal and external audits and prepare payroll-related reports and reconciliations.
  • HRIS & Payroll Platform Implementation (Paylocity)
  • Lead the hands-on implementation, configuration, and buildout of Paylocity across all entities.
  • Configure pay groups, earning and deduction codes, taxes, workflows, and security roles.
  • Build scalable payroll structures that support acquisitions, new entity onboarding, and organizational growth.
  • Own payroll setup for newly acquired or newly formed entities, including data migration, testing, and validation.
  • Partner with HR, Finance, IT, and Paylocity implementation teams to ensure accurate integrations and clean data flow.
  • Develop and maintain payroll and system documentation, standard operating procedures, and internal controls.
  • Identify and implement process improvements, automation opportunities, and system enhancements within Paylocity.

Entity Onboarding & Ongoing Support

  • Serve as the primary payroll and Paylocity subject matter expert for the organization.
  • Standardize payroll processes across entities while accommodating entity-specific requirements.
  • Train internal stakeholders on payroll processes and Paylocity functionality as needed.
  • Provide ongoing system support and troubleshooting for payroll and HRIS issues.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, or related field, or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of hands-on payroll processing experience in a multi-entity, multi-state environment
  • Direct experience implementing or configuring a payroll or HRIS platform
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. payroll laws, multi-state taxation, and wage and hour compliance
  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to manage multiple payrolls and deadlines
Preferred
  • Paylocity payroll and HRIS experience, with implementation experience strongly preferred
  • Experience in a holding company, PE-backed, or high-growth organization
  • Experience onboarding payroll for newly acquired entities or through M&A activity
  • CPP certification

Key Competencies

  • Hands-on payroll execution
