- Processing semi-monthly and bi-weekly payroll for multiple clients with up to 100+ employees through payroll management systems such as Wagepoint and Rippling.
- Processing of payroll adjustments, such as expense reimbursements, commission payouts, extended health benefits, RRSP contributions, and 401K contributions, while understanding the applicable tax treatment.
- Prepare federal and provincial/state payroll compliance filings as required for each client, including T4s, W-2s, EHT, T2200s, etc.
- Proficiency in researching payroll topics, demonstrating a resourcefulness in using tools available to you and comfort in navigating the unknown.
- Building effective working relationships with clients and co-workers by effectively collaborating on work deliverables.
- Meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment, while maintaining excellent quality of work.
Who we’re looking for

- You have a high level of tech savviness in navigating our internal tech stack and workflow management system, as well as various payroll platforms.
- You have proficient knowledge of multiple payroll systems (such as Wagepoint, Rippling, Payworks, Gusto, etc.) and are always looking for ways to optimize efficiencies and minimize manual processes.
- You have a strong understanding of both US and Canadian payroll compliance, including year-end filings and taxable treatment of income and deduction types.
- You have an intuitive communication style with team members and clients that contributes to our culture of trust, respect, and reliability — especially when working remotely and asynchronously.
- You have an uncanny ability to organize a high volume of data and information — while maintaining remarkable attention to detail and accuracy.
- You self-manage your schedule, priorities and deadlines in a flexible way that aligns with your team.
- You find meaning in working in a tight-knit team and thrive when collaborating with and learning from those around you.
