Description

** Payroll / Accounting Specialist** (Full-Time)

This Payroll / Accounting Specialist role supports a growing, multi-state home health care organization and works closely with the Lead Accountant to manage payroll and assist with broader accounting functions. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience running payroll out of Quick Books for a mid-to-large workforce across multiple states, understands payroll compliance and deadlines, and brings a proactive, "go get 'em" mindset to problem-solving and process improvement.

In addition to payroll, this role will assist with Accounts Payable and general accounting tasks, serving as a true accounting partner rather than a transactional processor. This is a full-time position with an approximate salary of $60,000, offering room to grow as the accounting function continues to evolve.

Requirements - Proven experience in processing full-cycle payroll for mid-sized to large organizations.

- Proficiency in Quick Books or similar payroll systems.

- Ability to multitask and manage deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

- Familiarity with accounts payable and general accounting practices.

- Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.

- Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate with team members.
