Restaurant365 Jobs (NOW HIRING)

You'll oversee the full delivery of payroll and financial operations - accuracy, timeliness, client satisfaction - and continuously raise the bar. That means streamlining workflows, automating wherever possible, and building KPI frameworks that keep the team accountable and ahead of issues before they become problems.

You'll own everything related to payroll funds: proper segregation, secure movement, accurate funding, and daily reconciliations. You'll ensure timely and compliant payroll tax filings across all federal, state, and local jurisdictions - including year-end reporting - and maintain the internal controls (approval workflows, audit readiness, GL alignment) that protect our clients and the company.

You'll be the executive point of escalation for tax authority notices, audits, and compliance matters. You'll monitor regulatory changes across jurisdictions, update policies and procedures proactively, and develop training programs that embed compliance awareness across the organization.

You'll partner with the executive team to shape the strategic direction of the function - identifying market trends, managing cost-to-serve, and building the organizational infrastructure needed to support a rapidly growing client base.

You'll build trusted partnerships with our clients and with the financial institutions and technology vendors that support our operations - ensuring that every relationship is anchored in transparency, reliability, and regulatory soundness.

You'll lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team. That includes recruiting top talent, building career paths, and creating a culture where accountability and continuous improvement aren't just values - they're how work gets done.
