Payroll Specialist

$23 - $26 per hour

Goodwin Recruiting

Are you the type of person who actually enjoys finding the one number that doesn't quite add up? If you have a strong payroll foundation, an eye for detail, and like digging into the "why" behind the numbers, this could be a great opportunity to take the next step in your career. We're looking for a Payroll Specialist who can confidently process payroll while also bringing curiosity, analytical thinking, and a commitment to getting the details right.

Payroll Specialist - Benefits and Compensation :

  • $23-$26 per hour, plus overtime opportunities
  • Potential 5% annual bonus based on company and individual performance
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Hybrid work environment in the Atlanta, GA area
  • Opportunity to grow your payroll and analytical expertise within a collaborative team
Payroll Specialist - Requirements & Qualifications
  • 2+ years of hands-on payroll processing experience, preferably in a multi-state environment
  • Strong attention to detail with experience auditing payroll and identifying discrepancies
  • Ability to analyze payroll data, research issues, and help determine root causes
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Intermediate Excel skills and the ability to work with confidential employee information
Payroll Specialist - Preferred Background & Skills
  • Background with a smaller or mid-sized organization where you have handled multiple payroll responsibilities
  • Experience with payroll reporting, reconciliation, benefits deductions, or timekeeping systems
  • Analytical mindset with an interest in understanding the "why" behind payroll data and discrepancies
  • Self-motivated, dependable professional who takes ownership and is eager to continue developing their payroll career

If you're ready to join a team where your payroll expertise, attention to detail, and analytical mindset will be valued-and where you'll have the opportunity to continue learning and growing-we'd love to hear from you. If you're someone who takes pride in getting payroll right and isn't afraid to ask questions when something doesn't look quite right, apply today!
