Staff Acccountant , Payroll

Overview

The organization is seeking a Staff Accountant to join the Accounting team and manage accounts payable (AP) and payroll.

As payroll processing transitions off a PEO and onto Rippling, this role will support the transition and own the associated accounting and operational work.

• Manage the company credit card program and employee reimbursements in Ramp
• Support administration of benefit plans as the organization transitions off a PEO
• Assist with month-end close and other accounting close activities
• Support cash management and other day-to-day accounting operations
• Partner with People Ops on payroll-related questions and processes
• Help ensure a smooth transition as payroll and benefits are moved fully in-house

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, or 5+ years of accounts payable and payroll experience across different environments
• 3–5+ years of experience processing accounts payable and payroll
• Solid understanding of AP coding and core accounting fundamentals
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment (startup experience a plus)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Rippling (comparable platforms such as Workday considered)
• Experience with Ramp (comparable platforms such as Brex or Bill.com considered)
• Direct experience with Rippling
• Direct experience with Ramp
• Experience helping a company transition off a PEO
