Payroll Compliance Manager

$130k - $160k

Vaco Recruiter Services

Payroll Compliance Manager Location: Hybrid (4 days/week in-office) Compensation: $130,000-160,000 + Discretionary Bonus Join a premier NYC-based professional services firm as a Payroll Compliance Manager. Reporting directly to the Controller, you will serve as the firm’s definitive subject matter expert for multi-state tax jurisdiction management, systems optimization, and high-volume payroll operations. This is not just a processing role—it is a strategic systems seat. You will be the architect of a payroll engine capable of scaling for thousands of employees, ensuring that “compliance‑by‑design” is baked into every onboarding workflow and tax mapping configuration. Regulatory & Tax Jurisdiction Leadership Jurisdiction Strategy: Own the local tax mapping and nexus determinations across a geographically dispersed multi‑state workforce. Compliance Architect: Proactively monitor federal, state, and local regulatory changes (wage/hour, withholding, UI rates) and translate them into system updates. Audit & Agency Liaison: Lead responses to tax notices and inquiries, serving as the primary point of contact for external auditors and tax advisors. High-Volume Systems & Operations Scalable Onboarding: Design and maintain workflows capable of processing 5,000 to 10,000+ new hires during peak seasonal cycles without sacrificing data integrity. ADP Power User: Serve as the internal “super‑user” for ADP Workforce Now, managing pay groups, earnings codes, and complex system integrations with downstream accounting platforms. Retirement Compliance: Partner with TPAs to ensure 401(k) eligibility tracking and data transmissions remain accurate and timely for a mixed workforce of full‑time and seasonal staff. Financial Controllership Payroll Reconciliation: Own the monthly gross‑to‑net reconciliations, payroll liability accounts, and employer tax accruals across multiple legal entities. Process Innovation: Identify and eliminate manual workarounds, leveraging automation to streamline local tax complexity and high‑volume processing. The Ideal Profile Experience: 5+ years of progressive payroll compliance experience. Direct experience in high‑volume, multi‑state industries (Staffing, PEO, Hospitality, or Retail) is strongly preferred. Systems Mastery: Advanced proficiency in ADP Workforce Now is required. You should be comfortable with tax table configuration and custom reporting. Technical Foundation: Deep knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll tax regulations. Familiarity with payroll‑to‑GL integration is essential. Credentials: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field. Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) designation is a significant plus. The “Doer” Mindset: A self‑starter who thrives in operationally complex environments and has the “hands‑on” capability to troubleshoot 401(k) feeds or tax mapping errors. #J-18808-Ljbffr
