Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Join a stable and well-established organization in North Seattle where your expertise will have a direct impact on employees across the organization. This is an excellent opportunity for a payroll professional who enjoys ownership of the payroll process, values work-life balance, and wants to be part of a collaborative finance team.

In this role, you'll do more than just process payroll. You'll contribute to accounting operations, support budgeting and position control functions, and play a key role in maintaining compliance and accuracy. The team values attention to detail, continuous improvement, and employees who take pride in delivering exceptional internal service.

Key Responsibilities for the Payroll and Accounting Coordinator role:

• 
  
• Process biweekly payroll, including timesheet review, direct deposits, manual checks, deductions, garnishments, and benefit payments.

• Maintain payroll records, tax filings, W-2 reporting, payroll reconciliations, and regulatory compliance.
• 
  
• Reconcile payroll-related accounts and prepare journal entries to support accurate financial reporting.
• 
  
• Maintain and update payroll system configurations, including leave plans, schedules, earnings codes, and reporting structures.
• 
  
• Assist with budgeting, position control, payroll analysis, and resolution of employee payroll questions and discrepancies.
• 
  

Qualifications for the Payroll and Accounting Coordinator:

• 
  
• 2+ years of payroll experience with strong knowledge of payroll processing, tax reporting, reconciliations, and accounting principles.
• 
  
• Union payroll experience highly desirable, including experience interpreting and applying collective bargaining agreements, union dues administration, contract pay provisions, and related payroll compliance requirements.
• 
  
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and proficiency with payroll systems, accounting software, and Excel.

If you're looking for a role where you can build on your payroll expertise, work with a supportive team, and enjoy long-term stability in a professional environment, we'd love to hear from you.
