$100k - $115k

Creative Financial Staffing

Payroll Manager

Are you a payroll and accounting leader looking for a highly visible role where you can drive compliance, payroll operations, and financial accuracy? This opportunity combines payroll expertise, accounting leadership, and cross-functional partnership to make a significant impact across the organization.

Salary: $100,000 – $115,000

Newark, NJ- Hybrid 3 days onsite

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

Own end-to-end payroll operations across weekly and bi-weekly payroll cycles

Serve as the organization’s go-to expert for payroll compliance and benefits administration

Partner directly with Finance and HR leadership on strategic initiatives and process improvements

Lead payroll accounting activities that drive accurate financial reporting and audit readiness

Gain exposure to union payrolls, retirement plans, regulatory compliance, and labor-related reporting

Drive automation, system optimization, and workflow improvements across payroll operations

Play a key role in annual audits, compliance reviews, and financial planning initiatives

Influence labor forecasting, budget analysis, and workforce-related financial decisions

Join a leadership role with strong visibility and cross-functional collaboration opportunities

Key Responsibilities for the Payroll Manager:

Oversee accurate and timely processing of weekly and bi-weekly payrolls for salaried, hourly, and union employees

Manage payroll accounting, including journal entries, reconciliations, labor allocations, and general ledger accuracy

Lead union reporting, fringe benefit remittances, and retirement contribution compliance

Partner with HR/P&O teams to review benefits, payroll deductions, and compensation changes

Serve as the primary payroll contact for annual audits, including workers’ compensation, retirement, and payroll compliance reviews

Drive payroll process improvements, automation initiatives, and system optimization efforts

Qualifications for the Accounting & Payroll Manager:

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field

5+ years of payroll management and payroll accounting experience with prior team leadership experience

Strong knowledge of federal, New Jersey, and local payroll compliance regulations

Experience with payroll accounting, reconciliations, audits, and general ledger reporting

Union payroll, collective bargaining agreement (CBA), and benefit reporting experience strongly preferred

Advanced experience with payroll platforms (ADP, UKG, Ceridian, etc.) and ERP systems
