Senior Payroll Accountant Direct Hire| Overland Park, KS (Onsite)
LHH is assisting with a search for a Senior Payroll Accountant for a client in Overland Park, KS. We are looking for someone to work on-site with pay starting at $65k and going up based on experience. This position is ideal for someone with strong hands-on, in-house payroll experience who wants to expand their knowledge of union and construction payroll while building a long-term career. Read below for additional details!
What You’ll Do:
- Process full-cycle, in-house weekly payroll for an initial employee population of approximately 200.
- Manage payroll from timecard entry through payroll processing, tax reporting and related reconciliation/reporting.
- Handle union payroll and reporting, including certified reporting requirements.
- Support multi-state payroll processing and tax remittances.
- Process off-cycle payroll items, including per diems, allowances and other payments.
- Partner with an experienced payroll team of approximately nine professionals.
- Maintain accurate payroll records and ensure timely, accurate payroll processing.
What We’re Looking For:
- 3+ years of payroll experience preferred.
- Hands-on, in-house/end-to-end payroll processing experience is required.
- Union payroll experience is highly preferred, particularly within the construction industry.
- Construction payroll experience is preferred but not required for someone with strong in-house payroll knowledge.
- Multi-state payroll experience is a plus.
- Experience with Vista by Viewpoint and UKG is preferred but can be trained.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Newly created position due to company growth, not a replacement.
- Strong ESOP/retirement benefits.
- Bonus opportunity based on individual and company performance.
- Established payroll team with opportunities to learn specialized union/construction payroll.
- Clear career progression: Payroll Accountant → Senior Payroll Accountant → Lead Payroll Accountant.
- Stable, growing organization with long-term advancement potential.
