Payroll and Accounting Coordinator

Seattle onsite role with a stable and well-established organization in North Seattle. This position offers work-life balance and the opportunity to make a direct impact on employees across the organization through payroll and accounting operations.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role is ideal for a payroll professional who values ownership of the payroll process, collaboration, and continuous improvement. You’ll contribute to accounting operations, support budgeting and position control, and ensure compliance and accuracy in a detail-oriented environment.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

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