Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Be the steady hand that keeps payroll accurate, on-time, and audit-ready — every cycle. You run end-to-end payroll operations, lead the team that processes them, and turn complex pay rules into clear, repeatable processes clients can rely on.
• You'll own the work that keeps employees paid correctly and clients compliant: multi-client payroll cycles, tax filings, year-end forms, garnishments, and audit-ready records. You'll catch errors before they hit a paycheck — then design the controls that stop them from coming back. You'll lead a payroll team, partner with the Accounting Director, and consult with HR and clients on payroll policy, system selection, and process improvements. You'll sharpen playbooks — close calendars, processing checklists, and review gates — so every pay run feels routine, not risky.
• At CAS, you join a company that invests in professionals who want to build a real career serving U.S. clients. We are not a gig platform or freelance marketplace; we provide permanent remote work, full company equipment, and structured support to help you grow.
• You will deepen your expertise in multi-state payroll compliance, tax filings, and garnishments while developing leadership skills by supervising and coaching a payroll team. You’ll gain experience in process optimization, system implementation, and client consulting — turning payroll complexity into clarity and trust.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related discipline
• 3–5 years of payroll experience, including multi-state and multi-client cycles
• Supervisory experience leading a payroll team
• Intermediate to advanced payroll knowledge with strong problem-resolution skills
• Comfort with payroll platforms (e.g., Gusto, ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks Payroll, Rippling) and cloud accounting tools
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills (lookups, pivots)
• Confident written and spoken English; client-facing presence
• Comfortable working U.S. business hours (night shift, PH-based)

🏖️ Benefits

• Career-level USD compensation based on experience and scope ($1,200 - $1,600)
• Permanent remote work — done right
• Full company equipment provided (laptop, monitor, accessories)
• 15 days PTO annually + local holidays off
• Guaranteed annual increases
• Referral rewards up to $1,000
• Monthly flexible stipend (CAS Flex Perks)
• Structured onboarding and support
