Payroll Specialist

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This opportunity is with a well-established, employee-focused engineering and professional services organization known for long-term stability and continued growth. The firm supports complex, multi-state operations and values precision, collaboration, and accountability across its internal teams.

The Payroll Specialist will play a critical role within the accounting and finance function, owning payroll processes for a diverse employee population. This is an excellent opportunity for a payroll professional who enjoys accuracy, structure, and being a trusted resource within the organization.

Why candidates are drawn to this role:

• Stable organization with a long history and strong internal processes
• Fully on-site environment with close collaboration across teams
• Exposure to multi-state payroll in a professional services setting
• Opportunity to serve as a payroll subject-matter expert
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits

This position is ideal for someone who values consistency, ownership, and being part of a well-run operation.

Key Responsibilities

• Process full-cycle payroll accurately and on time for a multi-state employee population
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local payroll regulations
• Prepare payroll entries, reconciliations, and standard reporting
• Partner with HR and Accounting to resolve payroll questions and support audits
• Maintain payroll records and support year-end activities (W-2s, reporting, audits)

Qualifications

• 5+ years of payroll experience, preferably with multi-state payroll exposure
• Associates degree preferred
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage deadlines and confidential information

Additional Details

• Fully on-site role based in Indianapolis
• Ideal for an experienced Payroll Specialist seeking long-term stability and ownership of the payroll function
• Professional services or engineering industry experience is a plus
