JOB OVERVIEW

JOB OVERVIEW
We are hiring a Senior US Payroll Tax Compliance Specialist to independently own quarter-end tax filing error resolution across multiple client accounts, with minimal oversight and the judgment to know when something genuinely needs escalation versus when it doesn't.

This role includes:
- Reviewing quarter-end tax filing error and warning reports and independently diagnosing the root cause of each
- Resolving missing state tax ID / EIN issues by coordinating with clients and internal specialists
- Investigating multi-state wage, unemployment (SUI), withholding, and PFML discrepancies and proposing fixes
- Documenting findings and resolutions with enough detail to guide future similar tasks
- Flagging genuinely unclear or high-severity cases for escalation, with the research already done

Requirements:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience processing US payroll tax filings
- Demonstrated experience with multi-state payroll tax filings
- Strong understanding of federal, state, and local US payroll taxes
- Ability to investigate a discrepancy and propose a resolution independently
- Strong attention to detail and documentation habits
- Ability to manage deadlines across multiple client accounts
- Reliable high-speed internet and a stable home office setup

Preferred:
- Experience with US payroll tax software (e.g. Master Tax, isolved)
- Experience in a US payroll company, CPA firm, or payroll tax role

When applying, please send:
- Your resume/CV
- A short intro
- Your US payroll tax filing experience
- Payroll/tax systems you've used
