In this role, you will be the primary point of contact for a portfolio of trusted clients, handling payroll review, compliance questions, and day‑to‑day support.

Log into client 401k and benefits reporting systems to enter and submit deduction amounts each payroll cycle.

Provide application and navigation support on ADP RUN — guiding clients on how to locate reports, make configuration changes, and resolve system questions. Handle client inquiries via phone and email on payroll processing, payroll taxes, deductions, garnishments, and compliance. Support bookkeeping and reconciliations in QuickBooks Online. Assist with HR administration, benefits administration, and client onboarding as needed. Maintain accurate, organized client records and documentation.
