Payroll & Tax Specialist

Own multi-state payroll from start to finish, with a real team behind you — not just a processing queue.

Life Skills Connection, Inc. is hiring a Payroll & Tax Specialist to process multi-state payroll and keep us compliant with payroll tax requirements across our operating states and government contracts. You'll partner closely with our VP of Finance, our HR team, and Paycor as our payroll platform — this is a hands-on role with real ownership, not a back-office function nobody notices.

• Review and reconcile timekeeping data, working directly with supervisors and employees to resolve discrepancies

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business, or a related field — or equivalent experience

• Comfort with Excel and payroll/HRIS systems;
  Paycor and Quick Books Online experience a plus, not required
