Part-Time Accounting and Payroll Specialist
Part-Time Payroll Specialist (Compliance & Multi-State Focus)
On-Site | Part-Time (15–20 hours/week) | Monday–Wednesday
Kirsch CPA Group is seeking an experienced Payroll Specialist with strong accounting fundamentals to support a select group of small and mid-sized business clients. This role is ideal for professionals with in-house payroll or payroll service bureau experience who want deeper client relationships, predictable hours, and a collaborative environment that values accuracy, compliance, and professional judgment.
You will own payroll processes, ensure compliance, and serve as a trusted resource for both clients and internal team members.
Primary Focus – Payroll & Compliance
- End-to-end payroll processing for multiple client entities
- Ensure compliance with federal, state, local, and municipal payroll regulations
- Apply and interpret:
- Multi-state payroll rules
- Remote worker payroll compliance
- Minimum wage and overtime taxation (FLSA awareness)
- Benefit and fringe benefit taxability
- Register clients with applicable federal, state, and local taxing agencies
- Handle payroll tax notices, agency correspondence, and tax resolution
- Prepare and issue W-2, W-3, and 1099 forms
- Serve as a payroll subject-matter resource for clients, answering questions clearly and professionally
- Maintain accurate payroll documentation and support audit readiness
Expanded Accounting & Bookkeeping Responsibilities
In addition to payroll, this role supports accounting functions to ensure accurate financial reporting:
- Bookkeeping and transaction processing
- Payroll-related general ledger entries and reconciliations
- Bank and payroll account reconciliations
- Month-end close support and preparation of adjusted trial balances
- Preparation of client-ready reports
This hybrid structure is ideal for someone who enjoys payroll and accounting fundamentals.
Why This Role Is Different Than Other Payroll Jobs
- Fewer clients, deeper relationships — no high-volume ticket queues
- Predictable schedule — Monday–Wednesday, no late-night payroll rushes
- Compliance-driven, not transactional — your expertise matters
- Direct collaboration with accountants and advisors — not siloed work
- Client trust and continuity — you are a long-term partner, not a processor
- Consistent, part-time, in-office schedule
If you are coming from a payroll bureau environment and want more control, respect, and balance, this role was designed with you in mind.
Qualifications & Experience
- Minimum 2+ years of payroll and/or accounting experience
- Strong knowledge of payroll compliance and payroll tax regulations
- Experience with payroll tax filings, notices, and agency communication
- Understanding of benefit taxability and multi-state payroll rules
- QuickBooks Online experience is helpful but not required
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple clients
- Professional, proactive, and service-oriented mindset
