If you’re someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and loves helping businesses succeed, this is the perfect time to join a high-growth SaaS company that’s redefining what payroll software should be.

The Role

The Tax Resolution Analyst (Payroll Adjustments) is responsible for analyzing, reconciling, and correcting complex payroll tax discrepancies and multi-jurisdictional filings. This role focuses on processing payroll adjustments (W-2c, 941-X, state/local amended returns) and executing root-cause corrections to ensure federal, state, and local compliance for client payrolls. This role requires deep technical knowledge of payroll tax laws and strong analytical skills to audit historical payroll records to reconcile payroll tax accounts.

What You’ll Do

• Recalculate historical taxable wages, tax withholdings, deductions, and employer contributions to ensure proper compliance and accurate adjustment calculations.

• Prepare and process complex payroll adjustments and tax corrections in preparation for submitting amended returns (e.g., Form 941-X, W-2c, state/local amended forms).

• Reconcile gross-to-net payroll data against quarterly and annual tax filings to pinpoint discrepancies.

• Perform root-cause analysis on tax errors to prevent recurring agency notices and compliance issues.

• Maintain detailed documentation and audit trails for all payroll registers and tax correspondence.

• Identify systemic payroll software configuration issues, setup errors, or wage calculations leading to tax discrepancies, and partner with internal technical teams to fix them.

• Partner with internal client success and payroll operations teams to communicate tax impact, collection adjustments, and corrective timelines clearly.

• Stay current on changing federal, state, and local payroll tax legislation affecting amendments and filing guidelines.

• Perform other related duties as assigned.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of dedicated experience in payroll tax, payroll auditing, or payroll tax resolution, with demonstrated expertise in multi-state tax adjustments or amendments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent experience.

• Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) or Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) preferred.

• Exceptional attention to detail, strong problem-solving capabilities, and clear written/verbal communication skills.
