About the role

We are looking for a well-rounded Senior Accountant to play a critical role in scaling Taulia’s Finance department while mastering US, Canada, Australia, and Saudi Arabia payroll operations. As a Senior Accountant, you will own core corporate accounting responsibilities and take ownership of the payroll function. This highly visible role offers growth potential for an analytically minded accounting professional eager to expand into multi-state payroll, labor compliance, state tax nexus, and international payroll. You will collaborate closely with the Accounting team and cross-functional partners (HR, Legal) to build robust, scalable payroll and accounting workflows.

Responsibilities

• End-to-End Payroll Processing for US and Other Locations
  • Manage routine US, Canada, Australia, and Saudi Arabia payroll processing for a predominantly salaried workforce with high precision and confidentiality.
  • Act as the lead for US multi-state relocation compliance, ensuring timely state unemployment (SUTA) registrations, local tax withholdings, and updated state-specific payroll rules as employees move.
  • Coordinate statutory paid family and medical leave (PFML) calculations, short-term disability top-ups, and fractional-day pay adjustments without compromising FLSA exempt status.
  • Understand and execute relevant local social charges and taxation for non-US payroll.
  • Partner with HR and external payroll/legal compliance advisors to track local changes and update policies accordingly.
  • Serve as a responsive point of contact for employee payroll, deduction, and tax-withholding inquiries.
• Core Accounting & Financial Reporting
  • Prepare multi-currency journal entries, including all payroll and compensation-related entries, income statement fluxes, and balance sheet variance analyses.
  • Drive accurate and timely month-end, quarter-end, and year-end closes in collaboration with the Accounting team.
  • Prepare balance sheet account reconciliations, identify errors, and make necessary corrections.
  • Escalate any roadblocks or reconciling items.
  • Support annual external and internal audit processes by preparing audit schedules and documentation.
  • Develop optimal procedures, best practices, and opportunities to use AI for efficiency gains.
  • Stay up-to-date on changes in US GAAP & IFRS to maintain proper accounting treatment.
  • Own the General Ledger (GL) mapping for payroll, ensuring accurate departmental cost allocation, intercompany cross-charges, and tax liability tracking.
  • Maintain thorough, up-to-date process documentation and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all accounting and payroll tasks.
  • Cross-train with other team members to ensure coverage of all accounting areas.
  • Support ad hoc financial information requests, analyses, and special projects as assigned.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years of general accounting experience, ideally in SaaS or Fintech. A mix of Big 4 public accounting and industry experience is preferred.
• Payroll Interest & Aptitude: A strong desire to learn and master end-to-end multi-state payroll operations, state tax nexus, and statutory leave mechanics is required.
• Accounting Foundation: Solid working knowledge of US GAAP/IFRS, month-end close procedures, internal controls, and balance sheet reconciliations.
• Technical Proficiency: Intermediate to advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, data modeling) with high attention to detail. Experience with NetSuite or modern HRIS/payroll platforms (e.g., ADP, Gusto, Rippling, Paylocity) is highly desirable.
• Problem Solving & Agility: Strong bias toward action, adaptability to changing priorities, and comfort navigating complex multi-state regulations.
• Communication & Discretion: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to explain complex financial/payroll matters clearly and handle confidential personnel data with care.
• Education & Certifications: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field. CPA, ACCA, or CIMA (qualified or in-progress) preferred.
